The meteorite 'destroying dinosaurs' is only half as expected?

The star of the dinosaur type of window clearing is probably only half as big as previous estimates.

It is the latest search result of the method being developed to assess the size of the agents of the ancient world. These agents leave little or no physical evidence after colliding with the Earth.

Scientists are studying ways to use chemical traces in ocean water and sediments in the ocean to study the effects of the genocide of dinosaurs that appeared in the late cretaceous (or white-chalk) period. 65 million years ago. They also considered two effects at the end of the Eoxen era, about 33.9 million years ago.

It is expected that the meteorite that destroys dinosaurs only has a diameter of 2.5 to 3.7 miles (from 4 to 6 km). This may cause a major dilemma in the scientific world. The most recent computer models predict that the size of this meteorite is between 9 and 12 miles (equivalent to 15-19 km).

The team also pointed out that the results they found meant that the nature of this meteorite would be different from what scientists had previously identified.

Lead researcher Gregory Ravizza of the University of Hawaii in Honolulu said: 'We hope that this result will lead to further research.'
