It is a also worth noting that "day" is a figurative term here. Many paleontologists theorize that after the inital shock of the impact, a longer and slower extinction peroid followed, which is believed to have dragged out for about 50,000-75,000 years. Of course, in evolutionary terms, this is a remarkably small span of time.

66 million years ago [[note]] Formerly thought to be closer to 65 million, but more precise dating has pinpointed it to somewhere between 65.5 and 66 million years ago, with 66 million being the accepted round figure[[/note]], a meteor the size of a mountain crashed into what is now the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Everything in the blast radius was incinerated in an instant, and the force of the impact created shockwaves that caused earthquakes and tsunamis worldwide. The meteor disintegrated into a cloud of dust that blocked out sunlight for years, which killed all the plants and caused food chains to collapse worldwide. Around 75% of all life died.

* ''[[Film/Dinosaur1985 Dinosaur!]]'' ends with the asteroid hitting, and shows the catastrophic aftermath - with the carcass of an ''Edmontosaurus'' lying in a dead forest, and another starving ''Edmontosaurus'' [[TearJerker bellowing in anguish over the disintegration of her eggs]].

* ''Series/PlanetDinosaur'': The end of the last episode depicts the K-Pg extinction event, as well as the aftermath a few months after. Herbivores are dying out due to the ash in the atmosphere making plant growth impossible, but scavenging carnivores are temporarily having a better time because of this. The narration makes it clear this is a short-lived glut though and once ''all'' the herbivores die, the carnivores would follow.

Interestingly, this is one of the few cases in dinosaur media where the end Cretaceous extinction is NOT depicted in Hell Creek, instead showing the effects in the island of Hateg (modern day Romania).
