The Asteroid That Killed The Dinosaurs Has Finally Been Identified.

66 million years ago, an asteroid hit Earth and the dinosaurs died. But scientists have never agreed on which rock it was, or what it actually did to the sky.

It also quietly breaks the explanation we’ve been using for the extinction for over twenty years. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:03 A Case With a Missing Detail 02:48 The Crime Scene 04:25 Nickel Trick 06:45 The Oddball 08:07 What We Got Wrong 10:01 The Case Continues ━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📄 RESEARCH PAPER: Makhatadze et al., "The origin of Cretaceous-Palaeogene impactor revealed by nickel isotopes.Sci.
