How the dinosaur-killing extinction could help save modern bivalves
An asteroid strike 66 million years ago caused millions of species to go extinct—including many mollusks. By studying the impacts of this ancient event, scientists hope to ensure that mussels, scallops and their bivalve relatives will survive the threats pushing them toward extinction today.
