A fossil site called Tanis, buried in the Hell Creek Formation of southwestern North Dakota, preserves what its discoverers say is a minute-by-minute record of the Chicxulub asteroid impact that ended the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago — including fish with impact glass lodged in their gills.
