A report says scientists discovered tiny rock fragments believed to be from the day an asteroid struck Earth 66 mllion years ago and killed the dinosaurs.
, tiny pieces of amber that contain vaporized asteroid dust are from the Hell Creek Formation in the Western United States, which they believe preserved part of the deadly day due its proximity to the impact site. Fossils from the area include fish with gills full of toxic debris, a turtle impaled on a stick, and a dino leg that was possibly blown off its owner.
"It gives a moment by moment story of what happens right after impact and you end up getting such a rich resource for scientific investigation," DePalma told the news outlet. "In that amber we've located a number of spherules that were basically frozen in time. They're perfectly preserved.
It's grim thought to imagine the last day for the dinos. But as the work holds up to scrutiny, it would help to understand what happened to untold species, forever changing the course of natural history.
