The story
Using the Tanis fossil site in the Hell Creek Formation as evidence, Attenborough and paleontologists try to piece together the extinction of the dinosaurs and the asteroid believed to have killed them, 65.5 million years ago. At this site in North Dakota, numerous groundbreaking fossil discoveries that reveal information on the final years of the Cretaceous period and the organisms that were present during the time have been made. Years before the final day of the dinosaurs, gravitational interactions with Jupiter dislodge the asteroid which will become the Chicxulub impactor from its orbit, sending it on a course for Earth.
