Tanis: 'First dinosaur fossil linked to asteroid strike' Remains are unearthed of a dinosaur that may have died on the very day a space rock hit Earth. BBC News

Scientists have presented a stunningly preserved leg of a dinosaur.

The limb, complete with skin, is just one of a series of remarkable finds emerging from the Tanis fossil site in the US State of North Dakota.

But it's not just their exquisite condition that's turning heads - it's what these ancient specimens purport to represent.

The claim is the Tanis creatures were killed and entombed on the actual day a giant asteroid struck Earth.
