Question - 35

What is the gloved hand pointing to?

Answer: The K-T boundary (Cretaceous-Tertiary period) associated with a major mass extinction. This layer has higher than normal iridium concentration which suggests a meteor impact which is widely believed to have caused the extinction of dinosaurs. Hirak, Divya, Ashwin and a very inventive Iam got it. Well done.

Cretaceous (K) and tertiary (T) Ejecta layer - a layer of clay and soot deposits. It is believed to be from the impact of a meteorite - which could have caused the extinction of the dinosaur

KT boundary

K stands for KillyouSaurus. T stands for Tombstone. The KT boundary is the tombstone geological layer marking the extinction of the Dinos. Contains Asteroid Level Iridium concentrations suggesting a Cosmic Thud. All fossils of Dinos RIPed below this layer, until man exhumed them for phony voodoo magic, fake thrills and macabre kicks. Soon it will be the 'Return of the KillyouSauruses', the end of the world as we know it!!!

Our only hope lies with the a fictional Japanese monster toy blown up on the screen with cheap special effects and shown fighting monsters of all varieties for no apparent reason!!!

Lets us all hope for 'Return of the KillyouSauruses vs Godzilla'
