• And that suggests their demise came suddenly, with the impact of a giant asteroid.
• The discovery of the 180km-wide Chixculub asteroid impact crater in Mexico suggested a sudden extinction of dinosaurs and other species, driven by the impact.
• But others have argued that a long, slow decline in dinosaur diversity contributed to their extinction.
• It’s not just that dinosaur fossils are so rare; the fossil record is also patchy.
• Because it’s such a huge landmass, Africa probably had far more dinosaur species than North America.

What we’ve found

• Dinosaurs may have swum out to islands searching for food, as deer and elephants do today, and some might have drowned.
• Other dinosaurs might have been washed out to sea by floods or storms, or drowned in rivers that carried them downstream to the ocean.
• And so, studying marine beds, and working over many years, we’ve slowly put together a picture of Africa’s last dinosaurs, bone by bone.
• It was smaller than Chenanisaurus, about five metres long – small by dinosaur standards, but large compared to modern predators.
• If so, that means dinosaurs were cut down in their prime; burning out rather than fading away.

What our findings show

• For over 100 million years, they evolved and diversified, producing a remarkable range of species: predators, herbivores, aquatic species, even flying forms, the birds.
• Then in a single, catastrophic moment, everything was wiped out in the months of darkness caused by dust and soot from the impact.
