A heap of fossils discovered under the rocky North Dakota landscape may shed light on what happened the day an asteroid struck our planet, wiping out the dinosaurs and nearly all life. The mass-extinction event also resulted in what’s known as the Chicxulub Crater, located on the southern side of the Gulf of Mexico.

The event is cited as the most cataclysmic event ever to befall the planet Earth.
