Popis:	The Phanerozoic paleontological record is marked by several biological extinction events. One of them,at the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary was responsible for the demise of about 50% of genera and 75% of species, including the dinosaurs.These drastic and abrupt changes in the development of life on Earth puzzled paleontologists in the past. Many a cause was put forward to account for them, amongst them climate changes, disease, or overspecialization.
