They say the site was dated 66 Million years ago, but that’s a million years too early as Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.

So something ain’t right

66 million ya is the accepted date for the asteroid strike and the C-T boundary. All of these dates are estimates based on dating methods, +/- X number of years. The problem is that no one was around to record the exact date.

Both are estimates based on testing, not hard figures. Could'a been 64 or 67...

Dino extinction did happen 66 million years ago -- it just seems like 65 million years. :^)
