When the riders climb Geulhemmerberg during stage 4 of the TdFF, they pass along the rock layer that recorded the extinction of the dinosaurs. Special guest presenter Melanie During, PhD. ⛏🦕🦖🦩🍉 of Uppsala universitet takes you underground to explain to you what happened the day the dinosaurs died. She shows you small glass beads that she found in the gills of fishes, and how this explains why the extinction affected northern hemisphere animals more than their southern hemisphere cousins. And how this paved the way for cyclists! Earth Sciences - Utrecht University Utrecht University Geosciences UU KNAG TNO Nieuws Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (inactief)
