Researchers suggest that ground-based mammals fared better than their arboreal relatives during the end-Cretaceous extinction thanks to their lifestyle.
Researchers are calling for CT scans to confirm the authenticity of a Cretaceous period fossil that led to the identification of a new mosasaur species.
The end of the Cretaceous period saw disastrous geological and astronomical events, but researchers say that one in particular is to blame for the mass extinction.
