Smoking Gun for the Permian Extinction?
New geological evidence now supports the theory that a very large (possibly 60 km in size) asteroid collided with the earth at the end of the Permian period. This impact was probably the leading cause for the extinction of nearly all life on earth at the end of the Permian.
