Palaeontologists have found a piece of dinosaur horn which they say is pointing to a catastrophic end for the "Age of Dinosaurs", not a gradual end, as some experts have suggested.
It's been believed that dinosaurs were killed when a huge asteroid smashed into the Earth off the coast of Mexico some 65 million years ago.
Although it is now accepted that a cosmic impact took place at that time, known as the Cretaceous - Tertiary, or K - T boundary, it was unclear if the mass extinctions started gradually before the hit due to volcanoes or other factors.
The reason behind this controversy was a 10 - feet zone in the earth right below the K - T boundary that purportedly lacked dinosaur fossils.
Some experts have claimed this gap, seen in the western interior of North America, was evidence that dinosaurs might have died well before any impact.
Now, researchers have found a fossil in this zone - a dinosaur horn no more than five inches below the impact layer, making it the specimen closest to the end of the Age of Dinosaurs found yet.
Comment: It seems like our ancestors knew a thing or two about proper nourishment. And we are not talking about a mere survival and preservation of body's heat during harsh periods. It appears that fat is the preferred fuel of human metabolism and has been for most of human evolution. It not only decreases inflammation and significantly increases energy levels, but improved and healthier brain activity facilitates creativity and human evolution.
