Dinosaur graveyard 'left by asteroid which smashed into Earth 66 million years ago' found by scientists

The results of the excavations are now to be published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"A tsunami would have taken at least 17 or more hours to reach the site from the crater, but seismic waves - and a subsequent surge - would have reached it in tens of minutes." Among the amazing remnants were reported to be the remains of a Triceratops and a duck-billed hadrosaur.
