News today that the asteroid impact 65 million years ago do not immediately snuff out the dinosaurs. The Daily Mail is reporting that researchers from Princeton University have come up with evidence that suggests the Chicxulub crater in Mexico is about 300, 00 years older than the time lines generally agreed to be gospel about when the dinosaurs winked out. This is the spot the asteroid actually hit.
The resulting explosive gases and dust shrouded the earth and the rest well, is real ancient history. But, not so according to research head Professor Gerta Keller. Seems those nasty Indian volcanoes went off about the same time. I'm talking about a coincidal series of huge eruptions at an area in India called the Deccan TrapInstead she found that bore holes showed clearly a very slow gradual layer of sediment, taking round about 300,000 years to develop, just above the time of the impact. In fact the layers are about as natural and ordinary as can be. So there.
I thought it was the booze all along that killed them off.
