Dinosaur Extinction
Dinosaurs of many kinds roamed Earth for hundreds of millions of years. Then, over a relatively short period of time, they disappeared. Why? Chasing clues is one of the greatest detective stories of all time, involving scientists, technology, luck, and hard work. (And an asteroid that slammed into our planet.) Today, we know more than ever before. But some answers are still shrouded in darkness. Today, maybe you can find them.
