0:30:55 Maynard's spooky action... at a distance Billie and the Dinosaurs Interviews with Tim Ferguson, Geoff and David Willis Three hundred million years ago, the world of the dinosaurs was called Pangea - a landmass that covered half the Earth until it broke into two supercontinents - Laurasia and Gondwanaland, which then broke into even more pieces, the largest of which was the island continent of Australia. Then, a great asteroid smashed into the Earth. And this started the Ice Age! And just like that, the dinosaurs were gone. Extinct.
