2014 September 16, University of Arizona, “News Release: Meteorite that doomed dinosaurs remade forests”, in EurekAlert, American Association for the Advancement of Science, retrieved 2024-11-07:Caption: This is a fossilized leaf of Vitis stantonii, a grapelike plant from the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota.
