The tektites rained down upon fish, railed against the trees and pounded the dinosaurs. Life perished quickly and the bodies of the dead settled in the soil, glassy beads still wrapped in their bones. Now those skeletons are being pried from the Earth -- and they're revealing, for the first time, exactly what happened after the asteroid hit. 

In a paper due to be published in PNAS at 9 a.m. ET Monday, Robert A. DePalma and a team of paleontologists detail their mammoth haul of fossils found in the Hell Creek geological formation which spans North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. In conjunction, a fascinating account by Douglas Preston appeared on March 29 in The New Yorker detailing DePalma's discoveries and seven years at the site, which the paleontologist has christened "Tanis" after the ancient Egyptian city featured in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
