Short Reviews: Edwin Dobb

"What Wiped Out the Dinosaurs? (non-fiction)" [permanent link]. In this article, the conventional theory that an asteroid hitting the earth wiped out the dinosaurs is reconsidered. Paleontologists digging at a site known as the Hell Creek Formation discovered that the type of fauna in the era just before the asteroid impact changed dramatically, possibly from climate change. This could have made it difficult for dinosaurs (both plant and meat eaters) to live; the asteroid may have been the final straw that lead to their extinction.
