We have to be reminded that we still live in a world that relies a lot on fossil fuels, and that transition to new and renewable sources is not always and in all cases possible from one day to the next.

 and although such events may be rare, paleontologists have been able to identify several of them through dramatic changes in the fossil record, where lineages that persisted through several geological layers suddenly disappear. In fact, these mass extinctions are used to divide the Earth's history

 Let's return to the microraptor fossil. When scientists examined its feather imprints under a powerful microscope, they found nanostructures that look like melanosomes. X-ray analysis of the melanosomes further supported that theory.
