Tracking an ancient killer

Article Abstract:

A team of Malagasy and American paleontologists and geologists discovered the mass grave in the summer of 2005 in northwestern Madagascar, which consisted of the remains of dinosaurs of various species. The researchers have concluded that draught was the main reason for the mass killing of dinosaurs, where the mudflow had effectively packaged them all together in a protective and permanent sedimentary tomb for almost 70 million years.
