The Last Days of the Dinosaurs: An Asteroid, Extinction and the Beginning of Our World - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Some 66 million years ago, an asteroid some seven miles across slammed into the Earth, leaving a geologic wound over 50 miles in diameter. In the terrible mass extinction that followed, more than half of known species vanish seemingly overnight. But this worst single day in the history of life of Earth was as critical for us as it was for the dinosaurs, as it allowed for evolutionary opportunities that were closed for the previous 100 million years. In The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries and the million years after the impact. Life’s losses were sharp and deeply felt, but the hope carried by the beings that survived sets the stage for the world as we know it now.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A fascinating exploration of the world's worst mass extinction and how it shaped all subsequent life on our planet. Picture yourself in the Cretaceous period. It's a sunny afternoon in the Hell Creek ecosystem of North America 66 million years ago. A Triceratops horridus ambles along the edge of the forest, enjoying this endless summer of the dinosaurs. But in a matter of hours, everything here will be wiped away. Lush verdure will be replaced with fire. Tyrannosaurus rex will be toppled from its throne, along with every other species of non-avian dinosaur no matter their size, diet or disposition. This is the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. As we watch, an asteroid some seven miles across is set to slam into the earth, leaving a geologic wound over fifty miles in diameter. In the terrible mass extinction that will follow, more than half of known species will vanish seemingly overnight in both searing fire and constricting cold. The dinosaurs will all but disappear as mammals rise to claim and reshape the planet, and you will be a witness to this fantastic transformation. In The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries and the million years after the impact, drawing from the latest science to track the sweeping disruptions that overtook Hell Creek and the rest of the planet. Even during a time of horrible destruction and loss, life will find a way.
