EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, a team of intrepid scientists embarks on an exciting geological expedition at the K-T boundary site in Wyoming. Armed with their trusty rock hammers and scientific equipment, they carefully collect a sample of rocks that hold the secrets of our planet's ancient history. With precision and expertise, these modern-day explorers excavate layers upon layers of Cretaceous rocks beneath the boundary layer. But that's not all! The sample also includes Tertiary sediments above the boundary, providing a comprehensive glimpse into the dramatic transition between two geological eras. To protect their precious find, they encase the partially excavated bloc in a plaster jacket – like archaeologists safeguarding an invaluable artifact. This extraordinary specimen will soon find its rightful place in museums worldwide, allowing curious minds to marvel at its significance for years to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene captured by Francois Gohier, we can't help but be reminded of how much there is still left to discover about our planet's past. So let us celebrate these dedicated scientists who continue to unravel nature's mysteries one rock at a time!
