The footprints of a mysterious reptile that lived about 250 million years ago have been identified in fossils from the Pyrenees mountains. Scientists say the new species is a member of the group that gave rise to crocodiles and dinosaurs.
Scientists have found out through fossils that life flourished fast even after mass extinction Unlike what scientists have previously thought, life has flourished abundantly after the mass extinction.
Geophysicists from the University of California, Berkeley now believe that the asteroid that slammed into the ocean off the coast of Mexico some 66 million years ago killing the dinosaurs may have also triggered volcanic eruptions around the globe that may have contributed to the devastation of the planet.
