Another significant change is where most of the action in the book is…

Chapter 1: Almost 70 million years ago, the most recent of apocalyptic extinction events occurred, wiping out the dinosaurs and signaling the start of a new era. The Cenozoic Era (age of mammals) has been split into seven sections called epochs with the final epoch being called the Holocene epoch, which brought forth a new ecosystem that harbored humanity. To conclude the eras that occurred previously, there have been five apocalyptic extinction events that occur roughly every 100 million year,…

I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…

other small organisms that can hide from the destructive force that wipes out everything else. The Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) is the most recent and most famous Mass Extinction, taking place 65 million years ago. The K/T is the event in which the dinosaurs died in. The cause of this event is debated, however it is widely accepted by most scientists that the K/T extinction was triggered when a giant asteroid or comet struck the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico killing off close to 80% of life on Earth.…

well which gave rise to new species. Another distinct feature is the greatest mass extinction event which killed around 54% of all marine families and most of the land species as well (Erwin 1989). This phenomenon then gave way to the “Age of the Dinosaurs”. Geography and Climate Due to the movement of the tectonic plates, the two continents Gondwanaland and Laurussia came together and formed one supercontinent called Pangaea (Torsiv et al. 2003).

Left nearly unchanged for over 240 million years, crocodiles, alligators, and other crocodilia are basically our version of modern day dinosaurs (Graaf). Both lay eggs, both are territorial predators, and both are enormous reptilian animals. Yet despite their numerous similarities they differ in a few significant key area that it’s no wonder that they are commonly confused for one another. Although crocodiles and alligators are part of the same reptilian order, they are different due to they’re…
