This lecture explores the fascinating world of dinosaurs and shows how paleontology allows us to travel back to the history of life and our planet. It examines the end-Cretaceous extinction that removed species like T. rex and Triceratops, reviewing competing hypotheses—meteorite impact, volcanic activity—and the ongoing scientific debate. The presentation investigates how fossils provide a unique connection to Earth’s past and reveals what paleontological evidence teaches us about mass extinctions and planetary change.
