As we all know, 66 million years ago an asteroid struck the Earth, causing a worldwide extinction of the dinosaurs.

Now a dinosaur mass grave is revealing the crucial details of the global cataclysm, as scientists believe they have found evidence of its exact moment.

Among the finds are dinosaurs that suffered what appear to be grave, near instantaneously-inflicted injuries; there are fish and other aquatic animals mixed up with the land-dwellers, a fossilized pterosaur embryo, a sea turtle that has bizarrely been impaled by a wooden stake, and even what paleontologists believe to be a shard of the asteroid itself.

Interesting.

Of course, there are different interpretations, based on the very same evidence, that you could get if you have the mental ability to think outside of the prevailing paradigm; for example, when the article says: "Cretaceous North Dakota was actually the site of a large inland sea, and a massive upsurge in the water level would have devastated the surrounding environment", that's certainly one interpretation.

Another, and IMHO equally valid, interpretation is that North Dakota might have been dry land; and an asteroid strike on the other side of the planet---say, in the western Pacific Ocean---might have caused oceans to slosh out of their basins, across continents, and back into other basins, leaving behind all manner of marine debris to mix in with smashed terrestrial fossil forms.

But then, that's just me. ;)
