Extinction of the dinosaurs, artwork C018 / 7902
Extinction of the dinosaurs, artwork. Asteroids impacting around dinosaurs. It is thought that an asteroid that impacted Earth around 65 million years ago caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. The impact, known as the K-T event, took place at sea and sent tsunamis around the globe. Water vapour thrown into the atmosphere lowered global temperatures. Plant and then animal life began to die off. The dinosaurs never recovered, and mammals rose to become the dominant form of life

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Extinction of the dinosaurs" takes us back to a pivotal moment in Earth's history. The image depicts a catastrophic event that forever altered the course of life on our planet. As asteroids rain down from the sky, an eerie scene unfolds with dinosaurs roaming amidst chaos and destruction. Scientists believe that around 65 million years ago, an enormous asteroid collided with Earth in what is now known as the K-T event. This impact occurred at sea, triggering devastating tsunamis that rippled across the globe. The resulting water vapor thrown into the atmosphere caused a dramatic drop in global temperatures. The consequences were dire for both plant and animal life. Unable to adapt to these sudden changes, countless species perished. Among them were the mighty dinosaurs who had once ruled over this ancient world. Their reign came to an abrupt end while mammals seized this opportunity and rose to become Earth's dominant form of life. Karsten Schneider's artwork skillfully captures this cataclysmic moment, evoking a sense of awe and melancholy simultaneously. It serves as a poignant reminder of how fragile existence can be and how nature has its own way of shaping our planet's destiny. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of our past but also of our responsibility towards preserving biodiversity today—a testament to the enduring power and significance of scientific exploration and discovery.
