 The text discusses the sudden decline of dinosaurs in Europe and North America during the Cretaceous period, around 65 million years ago. A team of researchers led by Dr. Csiki-Sava from the University of Bucharest found that European dinosaurs were thriving until the asteroid impact, which caused their extinction. The study suggests that the mass extinction event was not gradual but rather sudden, with many species disappearing simultaneously. The research provides new insights into the nature of this extinction event and its impact on the evolution of life on Earth.
