Mars' Arsia Mons and Earth's Dinosaurs Went Extinct About the Same Time

Mars' Arsia Mons and Earth's Dinosaurs Went Extinct About the Same Time - Astrobiology: "New NASA research reveals that the giant Martian volcano Arsia Mons produced one new lava flow at its summit every 1 to 3 million years during the final peak of activity.

The last volcanic activity there ceased about 50 million years ago -- around the time of Earth's Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, when large numbers of our planet's plant and animal species (including dinosaurs) went extinct."
