SCIENCE: A Million Years that Changed Everything
In Coral Bluffs, Colorado, paleontologists have recently uncovered an incredible trove of fossils, in particular the fossilized skeletons of mammals that lived in the immediate aftermath of the massive extinction event sixty-six million years ago that wiped out three-quarters of all species, including the dinosaurs. Paleobotanist Ian Miller told the Washington Post that the site is especially valuable because it also includes fossils from immediately before, during, and after that fateful asteroid impact, the specific million-year period that “really informs how our world came to be today.”
