The end of the dinosaurs?
About 65 million years ago, something strange happened to the Earth. A 'missile' 10 km (6 miles) wide, through to be an asteroid from outer space, hit the Yucatan peninsular in Mexico. It dug a crater 12 km (7 miles) deep and 100 km (60 miles) wide. The force of the impact blasted molten droplets of rock across the Americans and set of huge firestorms. Tidal waves 1 km (1.2 mile) high crashed along the shores, and a dust cloud blotted out the Sun. The dinosaurs may have died out as a result.

Diamond wall
The stone walls of the old church in millions of tiny diamonds, the size of specks of dust. These were formed from molten rock, blasted from the Earth's surface when a meteorite crashed onto it 35 million years ago.
