The extinction of dinosaurs stands as one of the most captivating tales in the field of paleontology. For much of the past century, the question regarding the demise of the dinosaurs has been a topic of extensive debate. Scholars believe that their disappearance can be attributed to an occurrence over 66 million years ago known as the K-T Extinction event.

This event was triggered by a colossal asteroid impact on Earth, resulting in the creation of a dust cloud that obscured the sun and hindered plant growth. Consequently, this led to scarcities of food, causing plant-eating dinosaurs to face starvation.
Although certain dinosaur species managed to survive for a period afterward, they too eventually met their end. Well, this theory is heavily supported by many scientists, and we have tons of evidence supporting this hypothesis.

But, there is a big problem with this theory, till now scientists do not know where the deadly asteroid came from. Some scientists are even questioning how an asteroid impact could be so precise that it completely wiped out the existence of dinosaurs.
In a new study, paleontologist Kunio Kaiho of Tohoku University and atmospheric chemist Naga Oshima of Japan’s Meteorological Research Institute found something startling about this asteroid.

They say that the impact of the asteroid was so precise that if the impact had occurred elsewhere on Earth, the dinosaurs would have survived. “Only 13 percent of Earth’s surface had enough organic matter to generate this devastating soot,” Kaiho said,
If the asteroid had hit the low-medium hydrocarbon region on Earth, which covers about 87 percent of Earth’s surface, the mass extinction could not have occurred. The possibility of such a precise impact of an asteroid is very rare in nature. The findings of this research have prompted certain scientists to propose that the extinction event might not have been a result of a natural catastrophe.
