Ruban, Dmitry A.2010-02-252010-02-252009Geologos vo. 15 (2), 2009, pp. 129-132.1426-8981http://hdl.handle.net/10593/166Survival of Pleistocene megafauna after the hypothesized impact of a bolide during the latest Pleistocene seems to be partly island-centered, whereas that the survival of dinosaurs and ammonites after the comparable catastrophe at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary seems to have occurred in a fairly haphazard way within the areas affected by the impact. This poses some new questions about the possible mechanism behind the end-Pleistocene extinction, although it does not disprove an impact as a plausible cause.ImpactSurvivalMegafaunaPleistoceneCretaceous/Tertiary boundaryArtykuł
