I wrote a coffee table photobook that includes some of those. https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf https://impacts.to/downloads/lowres/impacts.pdf You may find that the bibliography cites slightly different dates: https://impacts.to/bibliography.pdf https://impacts.to/bibliography.pdf For example, dinosaurs died out around 66.04 ± 0.05 Ma.

I had not read "coffee table photobook" before, nice concept. (and yours is great, btw) That reminds me of those big table screens that Microsoft (?) was selling years ago. Only seen in Hawai 5-0 again. Are they still for sale? What was the name?

  "Surface", it's no longer available and they repurposed the name to use for their tablets.

  In standard Microsoft fashion, they were also called Surface. See: https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-surface-pixelsense-table https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-surface-pixelsense-...

> dinosaurs died out around 66.04 ± 0.05 Ma. The dinosaurs didn't die out, and are alive in abundance today. I know what you mean, but it's interesting how many otherwise scientifically accurate publications use the taxonomic term as if though our understanding of the origin of birds hadn't evolved since the 1950s.

  The term “dinosaur” is used almost exclusively to refer to non-avian dinosaurs. In scientific literature the qualification is usually made explicit, but I belief even there it is sometimes clear enough from context to avoid the explicit qualification.

  Thats technically correct, the worst kind of correct. The same way dinosaurs, and hominids are both lobed-fin fishes (Sarcopterygii) as are all tetrapods.

The timeline becomes wildly condensed in more-modern years. Would love to see a "zoomed in" timeline from 250Ma-0Ma to capture that detail on more pages. :)
