Explains the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event around 66 million years ago, focusing on the Chicxulub asteroid impact. It details the immediate effects—shockwaves, earthquakes, fireballs, and global fires—and the longer-term consequences, including atmospheric darkness that disrupted food chains. Evidence supporting this impact includes iridium-rich clay layers and the impact crater, with survivors like small mammals and some aquatic species giving rise to modern lineages.
