My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Some zooms from my 2022 painting of a Thescelosaurus (front lit by the low Sun from the west) amidst the Tanis devastation caused by the end Cretaceous Chicxulub asteroid impact. Also features are Triceratops and Quetzalcoatlus.
My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Here's a 2022 painting of a Thescelosaurus (front lit by the low Sun from the west) amidst the Tanis devastation caused by the end Cretaceous Chicxulub asteroid impact (the orange glow from the south). Also features are Triceratops and Quetzalcoatlus.

To link spherules found at the #Tanis site to the K-Pg would showing that their composition matches a melted mixture of CM- or CR-chondrite from the impactor and the Yucatán Platform limestone it landed on.
So far as I am aware, that has not so far been done.
I read people talking about the #Tanis site in #NorthDakota again.
For those unaware:
This is a place where there was a mass burial of fish roughly 66 million years ago.
It has been suggested to be associated with the K-Pg impact.
I urge caution about that interpretation.
At the Tanis site's distance from the #Chicxulub crater; the first shock from the impact - and presumably any associated seiche - would have happened before any spherules from the impact had time to fall to the ground.
A good two-player game requires a designer to strike a balance between complexity and pacing. Has Phil Walker-Harding achieved this balance in his latest endeavor? Check out our review of Tanis, from Eagle-Gryphon Games, to find out!
