This programme follows the trail of clues leading to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. Iridium and shocked quartz found at the K–T boundary (Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary) are investigated which leads to the belief that an asteroid strike on the Yucatán Peninsula was responsible for the extinction.
An asteroid an estimated 6-9 miles (10-15 km) wide slammed into Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula 66 million years ago, triggering a global cataclysm that eradicated about three-quarters of the world's ...
