Good morning, This past month saw a couple of science related stories. News Item #1. It seems it finally has been concluded that the asteroid impact on the Yucatan peninsula was the cause of the end of the Age of Dinosaurs 65 million years ago. The dinosaurs had a pretty good run, with the age of dinosaurs beginning some 210 million years ago (after the the Triassic/Jurassic extinction) until the party ended abruptly with the rude impact of a meteor. For those who are counting, the prior extinction was the Permian extinction of 252 million years ago.
