Debate
on Dino
Demise Continues
By
Dan Vergano

The
killer asteroid that may have doomed the dinosaurs
65 million years ago is still making a lot of
noise. The current dispute revolves around core
samples from the Gulf of Mexico's Chicxulubcrater.
A comet or asteroid impact there 65 million years
ago is widely thought to have triggered tidal
waves and a brief ice age that killed off about
50 percent of all species. Scientists call the
time between dinosaurs and mammals the ''K-T boundary.''
This theory gained steam in 1980 when late Lab
physicist Luis Alvarez said an
asteroid impact caused mass extinction. Full
story.
