Excerpt from the Book:
"However, all seemed relatively calm in this warm dinosaur world; this was the lull before an approaching storm. Approximately 65 million years ago, North America was in the path of a large asteroid which would hit Planet Earth with disastrous effects.
Ground Zero for this asteroid was the dry mouth of the old Bear Paw Lake, probably then in the Caribbean Sea. Today we know that the actual site is in Central America, on the Yucatan Peninsula known as Chicxulub.
It hit the earth at an angle like a golfer's "chip shot," so it generated more heat than a direct hit. It fried/burned the continent of North America with this heat which was more than 1,000 times that of the sun!
The heavy debris from the "chip shot" went straight up the original Bear Paw Lake to the dinosaur lands, the lighter particles were in the waters of the titanic sized tsunamis which hit the coast lines and penetrated inland."
