Could 165 Million Years of Life Be Erased in Just One Hour..?

66 million years ago, an asteroid 10 kilometres wide ended the Age of Dinosaurs — not over centuries, but in a single hour. This is the minute-by-minute account of how it happened

Join Deep Time Detective as we investigate a planetary murder mystery, beginning with a cataclysmic meteor impact 66 million years ago. This science documentary details the immediate aftermath, from a magnitude 11 earthquake to a global temperature increase, and how this event led to the dinosaurs' extinction. Discover how small, burrowing mammals demonstrated incredible survival skills, adapting to a collapsed food chain and navigating a world forever changed by natural disasters. 🌍🔬

🔍 What you'll discover:

• Why the sky itself became the weapon — not the impact
• How scientists discovered a layer of iridium that proved the asteroid theory
• The Tanis fossil site: animals fossilised in the act of dying on impact day
• Why small, burrowing mammals survived — and why that makes you their descendant
• The one hour that reset 165 million years of evolution

This isn't the sanitised textbook version. This is the real story of the worst day in the history of life on Earth — told through the geology, the physics, and the fossils that recorded every second.

Every episode of Deep Time Detective is an investigation into Earth's 4.5-billion-year past. If you've ever looked at a fossil and wondered what world it came from — you're in the right place.
