After discovering the fossil of an animal they believe died that day, scientists believe they have found an unusual view of the last days of dinosaurs.

Experts say the fully preserved foot, which includes the remains of animal skins, could have accurately dated the asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, due to the debris of the impact. In its immediate effects.

“It’s absolutely insane,” said Philip Manning, a professor of natural history at the University of Manchester. He told the BBC Radio 4’s Today show that the dinosaur’s foot was found at the Danish excavation site. North Dakota It’s a “complete dinosaur scam”.

He said, “The tentative decision we can make in this space is beyond our nightmares … it should not be real, it’s so beautiful.” I never dreamed in my life that I would see anything a) lack of time; And b) is so beautiful, it also tells a great story.

The fossils were filmed for the BBC documentary, Dinosaurs: The Last Day with Sir David Attenborough; During this time the presenter reviews the fossil findings. When Sir David saw[the leg], He said with a smile, “This is an impossible image.” “I agreed,” Manning said.

He said the team also found the remains of fish that had inhaled debris from an asteroid impact 1,864 miles (3,000 km) off the coast of Mexico.

This and the presence of other debris that fell for a period of time after the asteroid impact allowed the site to be dated with greater accuracy than standard carbon dating techniques.

Robert Dipalma, a graduate student at the University of Manchester who heads the Danish excavations, said: “We have a lot of details on this site, and it tells us moment by moment what happened, just like we see in the movies. You look at the rock pillar, you look at the fossils there, it takes you back to that day.

The BBC reports that the team also found fossil remains of a tortoise trapped under a tree and a small mammal and its burrows, a trichotilloman skin, a tortoiseshell embryo inside its egg and what scientists believe. Part of the asteroid impact.
