A dinosaur’s leg, stunningly preserved, has been presented by scientists claiming it was likely killed by a giant asteroid which caused the species’ extinction.
The limb, complete with skin, is just one of a series of remarkable finds emerging from the Tanis fossil site in the US State of North Dakota.
But it’s not just their exquisite condition that’s turning heads – it’s what these ancient specimens purport to represent.
The claim is the Tanis creatures were killed on the actual day the asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago, which saw the reign of dinosaurs end.
The BBC’s Rebecca Morrelle reports.

Peer review still coming?
Fake news for children.
It’s all theory’s though
Really?? No
AHAHAHAHA NOW A FLASH FLOOD ARE YOU JOKING ME 🤣🤣🤣 they would’ve gotten vaporised way before that flood killed then ahaha this is jokes you lot are idiots.
“First evidence of creatures killed on that day”
So decades they’ve been saying dinosaurs got killed by asteroid but haven’t got 1 piece of evidence to back that claim till now? LMFOA these people make BS up as they go along 🤣 massive L for BBC and also I don’t buy that BS 1 bit 🤣🤣 asteroid killing the dinosaurs ahaha
Bollocks
Complete garbage. there is no possible way for them to know what happened a gigillion years ago. its all guess work based on theories based on other theories based on a tiny bit of science. They know so much, yet so little.
This reminds me of a Rick and Morty episode
Aka Noah's flood 🫵sofa king we todd did
Fossils are from Noah's Flood. The Grand Canyon is a good collosal sized visible mark from the rapid monumental flood
Doesn't seem like proof. Still a long way to go for that. That can't be the only piece of asteroid on planet earth, given the thousands of strikes there have been and there are many reasons an animal could have it's leg ripped off, maybe from some localized event like a landslide or from one of the volcanoes in the area. Interesting content nonetheless.
Looks more fun than my job.
So can we ban religion now ?
Lying antichrists..
Some of the finds are so fresh that the skins still have elasticity, this does not suggest millions of years…
I left some stamps there..

Where do you find pure carbon, ferrous metals, and millions of microscopic diamonds?
Right here in Canada and everywhere else..
can they just be regular bones, for the love of jurassic park movies!
Man I wish this was in the news all the time. So so sick of religious based war constantly dominating when it’s all absolute bs. give me these facts all day.
Funny how many of you don't believe in dinosaurs because "how could we know" yet do believe in God without question.
sound more like a worldwide flood than an asteroid….
“Claim”
They are quick to claim
Nah… can't be
Step out of the matrix people
Why is there carvings of Stegosaurus and brontosaurus in India
Guys you're listening to 666 radiocarbon dating is a f**** lie
Humans and dinosaurs walk the earth together there's proof in India and they weren't gone that long ago you guys this is all bulshit to try to prove the Bible wrong but it's so right you guys need to wake up
