Like Steve Brusatte’s Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, Black offers a compelling look at the final days of dinosaurs and the aftereffects of the asteroid impact. She also explains how certain animals, like burrowing mammals, avian dinosaurs, and insects survived. She describes the immediate reverberations of the impact, as well as providing snapshots of life the day after, a month later, one year later, one thousand years later, and onwards. Believe it or not, it’s been a year since The Last Days of the Dinosaurs came out I’m so glad people continue to find resonance with the story, and I hope you like what’s coming next. All of these creatures are destroyed by the cosmic catastrophe Black brings to life with vivid detail.
Life’s losses were sharp and deeply felt, but the hope carried by the beings that survived sets the stage for the world as we know it now. Readers encounter plant-eating Edmontosaurus and its nemesis Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as armor-plated Ankylosaurus. In The Last Days of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries and the million years after the impact. The book focuses on the fossils of Hell Creek, Montana, but Black’s history also travels to Asia and deep beneath the ocean.
The impact of this rock ends the reign of dinosaurs and begins a new age of mammals. That asteroid was a seven-mile-wide rock from space that was pulled into Earth’s solar system by the Sun. Black ( Written in Stone) combines science information with beautiful prose, providing snapshots of various dinosaurs just before, during, and after the asteroid impact.
