Many are aware that dinosaurs disappeared nearly 66 million years ago, after a major climate change that made their environments inhospitable. Most people know about the dinosaurs disappearance, but few know that what happened\u00a0at the end of the\u00a0Mesozoic era was actually a mass extinction. Well, maybe even fewer people\u00a0know that\u00a0some clues of what happened in that period have been first found in central Italy, close to Saint Francis’ hometown, near a small\u00a0city in the Apennines called Gubbio.\u00a0The story is about father and son, Louis Alvarez, a Nobel prize physicist, and Walter Alvarez, a renown American geologist at Berkeley with a love for Italy.<\/p>\n
