66 million-year-old deathbed linked to dinosaur-killing meteor | Research UC Berkeley

A meteor impact 66 million years ago generated a tsunami-like wave in an inland sea that killed and buried fish, mammals, insects and a dinosaur, the first victims of Earth’s last mass extinction event. The death scene from within an hour of the impact has been excavated at an unprecedented fossil site in North Dakota.

Nevermind bringing back the Thylacine, scientists should go the Full Tim and bring back Thylacoleo.

@elduvelle snakes do not use legs for walkies :) modern snakes in general do not have legs but pythons and boas (considered to be basal snakes) do have vestigial hind legs/limbs. From what I gathered, the vestigial hind limbs are used to aid in mating and holding onto tree branches

If you’re a #history or #palentology geek, I highly recommend the Netflix documentary Unknown: Cave of Bones.

I'm also a lover of photography, art and finding out more about #animals, #fish, #birds #birding #insects #reptiles and #dinosaurs #palentology. My interests in #numenera #cyphersystem #ultraviolentgrasslands #UVG #ElectricBastion and #traveller were both because I'm interested in the development of fictional worlds the more bizarro, weird and left open for expansion. But I also enjoyed Uresia, Unknown Armies, Over the Edge and even grim dark like Warhammer Fantasy.
