Meteorite linked to extinction of dinosaurs

A HORN from one of the last surviving dinosaurs could be clinching evidence that a meteorite strike ended the extinct reptiles’ reign on Earth.

The 45cm-long fossilised browhorn belonged to a family of plant-eating dinosaurs that included the famous three-horned Triceratops.

It was found at a geological site known as the Hell Creek Formation in the bleak badlands of south-east Montana in the US.
