A piece of Earth’s history has just been found.
Scientists have discovered a fossil of a perfectly preserved dinosaur leg that may have been ‘ripped off’ by the asteroid that sparked a mass extinction.
It was unearthed at a site in Tanis, North Dakota, 3,000km away from the asteroid impact site in the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s one of a number of impressive finds from the location.
Professor Paul Barrett, dinosaur specialist from the Natural History Museum, explains the significance of this 66-million-year-old find.
