Artwork of the death of the dinosaurs

Dinosaur extinction. Artwork of the death of the dinosaurs after the Earth was struck by a comet or asteroid 65 million years ago. A Triceratops dino- saur skull lies in a landscape which has been burnt by the blast of the impact. Dark clouds of smoke and dust fill the sky, blocking the light & warmth of the Sun and providing a source for acid rain. The comet or asteroid struck the Earth at Chicxulub on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. This event, which may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs & 70% of all species on Earth, is known as the " K/T impact" because debris from it forms a boundary in sediments between the Cretaceous (K) and Tertiary (T) geological periods

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork depicts the catastrophic event that led to the extinction of dinosaurs and numerous other species on Earth. The print showcases a haunting scene, with a Triceratops dinosaur skull resting in a desolate landscape scorched by the impact of a comet or asteroid. Dark clouds of smoke and dust fill the sky, obscuring the once vibrant light and warmth of the Sun. This atmospheric phenomenon also triggers acid rain, further adding to the devastation. The location where this cataclysmic event occurred is Chicxulub on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. Known as the "K/T impact" it left an indelible mark in sedimentary layers between two geological periods: Cretaceous (K) and Tertiary (T). Scientists believe that this colossal collision may have been responsible for wiping out not only dinosaurs but also around 70% of all species inhabiting our planet at that time. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are transported back 65 million years ago to witness nature's immense power firsthand. It serves as a reminder of how fragile life can be and highlights humanity's continuous quest to understand our planet's history through paleontology and meteorite studies. This stunning piece from Science Photo Library captures both scientific accuracy and artistic interpretation, allowing us to reflect upon one of Earth's most significant events – forever altering its biological landscape.
