Humanity has faced many ancient disasters, like cataclysmic comets, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and massive floods. How have we survived, and what's next?
New research by an international team of palaeontologists and ecologists from Spain and the UK provides the strongest evidence yet that dinosaurs were thriving when an asteroid hit Earth.
The dinosaur s emains were uncovered in Omnogovi Province in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia in 2008 and examined by researchers from Seoul National University in South Korea.
The remains were found in North Dakota and belonged to a duckbilled plant eater called Edmontosaurus, which reached about 40ft in length and weighed four tonnes.
