How dead cattle could offer clues to 'longest-running murder mystery in the history of the world'

The article from the New York Post discusses how the remains of dead cattle in the UK could provide insights into the "longest-running murder mystery in the history of the world" - the disappearance of the dinosaurs. Scientists are studying the bones of these cattle, which were exposed to nuclear testing fallout in the 1950s and 1960s, to understand the effects of radiation on bone structure. This research could help explain how environmental factors, like radiation from a theorized supernova or other cosmic events, might have contributed to the mass extinction of dinosaurs. The study involves analyzing strontium-90 levels in the cattle bones, which can mimic calcium and integrate into the bone structure, offering a parallel to how ancient environmental changes might have affected dinosaur physiology.
