Find meteor craters to kill dinosaurs

Scientists have shown that a large 25km-diameter crater was discovered on Victoria Island (Canadian archipelago) formed by a meteor shower that killed all dinosaurs, according to a newspaper article. The Toronto Star.

Scientists at the University of Saskatchewan (Canada) saw the crater in a survey flight on the island by helicopter 2 years ago.

One of the discoverers, Brian Pratt, a researcher at Saskatchewan University, said: 'This is a very large crack that science has never known, which is found completely unexpected. We have mapped Canada's Department of Natural Resources for one of the country's "hidden corners".

The data collected in the past 2 years confirmed the hypothesis of the cosmic origin of this unique terrain location. The age of the crater, named Prince Albert (also the name of the peninsula itself) is estimated at 130 to 350 million years.

Scientists believe that the falling meteorites have made the planet's climate change completely and extinct an entire species that dominates the world back then.

According to Dr. Pratt, such a large crater is just the result of a meteorite with a diameter of up to 5 kilometers. A big event of that caliber usually takes 1 million to 3 million years to happen once on our planet. But the process of abrasion and the widow for hundreds of millions of years made it deformed, expanded and had the same complex terrain.
