Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism that may explain how Earth cooled dramatically after the age of dinosaurs.

A 66 million-year-old mystery behind how our planet transformed from a tropical greenhouse to the ice-capped world of today has been unraveled by scientists. Their new study has revealed that Earth's ...

Rocks formed immediately before and after non-avian dinosaurs went extinct are strikingly different, and now, tens of millions of years later, scientists think they’ve identified the culprit—and it ...

Scientists trace Earth’s long cooling to falling ocean calcium, pulling CO₂ from the air and offering new insight into a greenhouse mystery.

Evidence from fossil shells suggests that falling seawater calcium helped lock away carbon dioxide and helped cool Earth after the dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs ruled the planet between 230 to 66 million years ago, although many other life forms had evolved well before their existence. Moreover, some of these living creatures still exist today.

The fish were found with hot glass in their gills, likely from flaming debris. The discovery of a fossilized fish may offer a glimpse into the day an asteroid hit the earth and wiped dinosaurs off the ...
