Join scientists Dr. Gussie Maccracken and Dr. Jake Wilson in this 45-minute talk from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science as they explore Earth's greatest comeback story. Discover what happened 66 million years ago when a six-mile-diameter asteroid struck Earth, causing the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and countless other species. Learn about the grim aftermath for survivors and how some species eventually flourished in the wake of this catastrophic event. Understand how a remarkable location in Colorado provides crucial evidence that helps scientists piece together the story of life's resilience following one of the most devastating extinction events in our planet's history.
