a. Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Cheropod

b. Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Theropod

c. Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Meropod

d. Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Teropod

ANSWER: Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Theropod

Explanation:

Geologists have found footprints of Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Theropod dinosaurs in Jaisalmer district- these fossilised prints are 150 million years old. Dr. Suresh Chandra Mathur, a professor in the geological department of Jainarayan Vyas University comprehends that they can help scientists understand the reason behind the disappearance of dinosaurs.

Around 66 million years ago, a mass extinction wiped out massive reptiles and reasons behind the extinction that were not known till now.

In 2010, the international scientific panel reported support for the hypothesis that the extinction occurred when asteroid of 10 km width hurtled into the sea of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

This sends an extraordinary amount of ash into the atmosphere and lowered temperatures.

It is unclear whether extinction happened following the impact or before it.

Three years later, researchers from University of California, Berkeley dated the impact with more precision than before.
