Research Paper: [Ruthenium isotopes show the Chicxulub impactor was a carbonaceous-type asteroid](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk4868)
You’re a carbonaceous asteroid that formed outside Uranus.
So Jupiter fired a missle at Earth to eliminate its dominant species. When we firing back?
So we know all these specifics about the meteor, but also, it’s hotly debated whether they were even killed off by a meteor at all.
Cousin! How could you!
