Summary:
- This article discusses a new study that provides evidence that dinosaurs in New Mexico were thriving right up until the asteroid impact that led to their extinction around 66 million years ago.
- The study examined fossils from the Cretaceous period found in the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness in New Mexico, which show that these dinosaurs were healthy and diverse just before the mass extinction event.
- The findings suggest that the dinosaurs in this region were not in decline prior to the asteroid impact, challenging the idea that they were already struggling and vulnerable when the asteroid hit.
