footer: Clockwise from the top: * Artist's rendering of an asteroid a few kilometers across colliding with the Earth. Such an impact would have released the equivalent energy of several million nuclear weapons detonating simultaneously; * Badlands near Drumheller, Alberta, where erosion has exposed the K–Pg boundary; * Complex Cretaceous–Paleogene clay layer in the Geulhemmergroeve tunnels near Geulhem, The Netherlands ; * Wyoming rock with an intermediate claystone layer that contains 1,000 times more iridium than the upper and lower layers. Picture taken at the San Diego Natural History Museum; * Rajgad Fort's Citadel, an eroded hill from the Deccan Traps, which are another hypothesized cause of the K-Pg extinction event.
