Scientists may have found direct evidence for the first time of a dinosaur that died as a result of a massive asteroid that collided with Earth more than 66 million years ago.
A tiny shard of the asteroid itself may also have been found.
The fossilised remains of a Thescelosaurus leg was unearthed from a mass grave at the Tanis fossil site in North Dakota, in the US, the BBC reports.
It was found among a jumble of plants and animal life, including a turtle and a Pterosaur egg.
A BBC documentary film crew captured the moment a group of archaeologists unearthed the remains.
