      @william3100 4 дня назад +7

      The "second asteroid" didn't cause much damage, though, comparatively, and it's likely it came after the first big asteroid hit the earth. So, it can still be said that one major asteroid hit the dinosaurs. This "asteroid" also could've been a fragment of the main asteroid. Meaning it probably wasn't a true asteroid.
