KT Boundary s t u d y o n J a p a n

The Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) extinction event, also known as the KT boundary, was a period of massive extinction of species, about 65.5 million years ago. It corresponds to the end of the Cretaceous Period and the beginning of the Tertiary Period. cretaceous/ tertiaty boundary - 66
