The First Species To Suffer The Asteroid Apocalypse 66 Million Years Ago

The researchers found a fairly intact fish fossil. It is thought that the fish came from an era when a large asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.

Nationalgeographic.co.id—Imagine this moment an event is so catastrophic, which destroys 75 percent of all living things on Earth. Bigger than the death of 50 percent of the earth’s population, as did the Marvel character, Thanos.

Such events sound like stories in a sci-fi genre film. But, in fact, that’s what happened when the Cretaceous period ended with a big bang 66 million years ago. An explosion that destroyed nearly all of Earth’s inhabitants, including the dinosaurs.

It is widely believed that an asteroid or comet known as Chicxulub Impactor hit Earth, not far from what is now Yucatán, Mexico.

These events ultimately wreak havoc on the biodiversity on planet Earth. Currently, a new discovery in North Dakota unlock the mystery of the first species, which felt the impact of the devastating event.
