Caricature of the death of dinosaurs by meteorite
Dinosaur extinction. Caricature of the death of the dinosaurs by the impact of a comet or meteor- ite. A Tyrannosaurus rex, a fearsome predator of the time, has taken the impact on its head whilst its prey doubles up in laughter. There is strong evidence that the Earth was struck by a comet or meteorite 65 million years ago, coinciding with the extinction of the dinosaurs. The blast of such an impact would have caused fire and thrown dust into the atmosphere, blocking the light and warmth of the Sun, leading to extinction of the dinosaurs and 70% of all species on Earth. The comet struck at Chicxulub on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a whimsical caricature of the catastrophic event that led to the extinction of dinosaurs. In this comical portrayal, a formidable Tyrannosaurus rex, once an apex predator, finds itself at the receiving end of a meteorite impact on its head. Meanwhile, its prey can't help but burst into fits of laughter at this unexpected turn of events. The image serves as a reminder of the strong evidence suggesting that our planet was struck by a comet or meteorite approximately 65 million years ago. This cataclysmic collision coincided with one of Earth's most significant mass extinctions, wiping out not only the dinosaurs but also around 70% of all species inhabiting our world. The impact unleashed unimaginable devastation - fires raged and dust filled the atmosphere, obstructing sunlight and warmth from reaching Earth's surface. As a result, life as it had existed for millions of years came to an abrupt end. Scientists believe that Chicxulub in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula is where this fateful comet struck. The repercussions were felt globally and forever altered the course of evolution on our planet. Through artful exaggeration and humor, this print captures both the awe-inspiring power behind such an event and invites us to reflect upon how fragile life can be in the face of cosmic forces beyond our control.
