The huge asteroid that hit Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago was not alone, scientists have confirmed.
A second, smaller space rock smashed into the sea off the coast of West Africa creating a large crater during the same era.
It would have been a “catastrophic event”, the scientists say, causing a tsunami at least 800m high to tear across the Atlantic ocean.
Dr Uisdean Nicholson from Heriot-Watt University first found the Nadir crater in 2022, but a cloud of uncertainty hung over how it was really formed.
I gotta admit, on my small phone screen, that did NOT look like a dinosaur’s neck coming out of Jesus at first…
If you were a divine, omnipotent, being, wouldn’t you give yourself a giant schlong?
At least…. Once…?
Scrat!
