    The asteroid impact that many researchers claim was the cause of the dinosaur die-off was bad news for marine life at the time as well. But new research funded by NASA shows that microalgae – one of the primary producers in the ocean – bounced back from the global extinction in about 100 years or less.

      does it mean that extinction of dinosaurs had made negative impact on marine life i.e. micro algae ?
