Dinosaurs survived for at least 700,000 years after meteorite collision - Telegraph

Dinosaurs survived for at least 700,000 years after meteorite collision - Telegraph: "Many palaeontologists believe that all non-avian dinosaurs disappeared almost 66 million years ago - after debris from the meteorite blocked out the sun and caused extreme climate conditions, killing vegetation worldwide.
But new tests on a fossilised bone of a plant eating dinosaur discovered in New Mexico found that it was only 64.8 million years old - meaning that it was alive about 700,000 years after it was thought to have died."
