Description

T. Rex and the Crater of DoomSixty five million years ago, a comet or asteroid larger than Mount Everest slammed into the Earth, inducing an explosion equivalent to the detonation of a hundred million hydrogen bombs. Vaporized detritus blasted through the atmosphere upon impact, falling back to Earth around the globe. Disastrous environmental consequences ensued: a giant tsunami, continent scale wildfires, darkness, and cold, followed by sweltering greenhouse heat. When

Sixty-five million years ago, a comet or asteroid larger than Mount Everest slammed into the Earth, inducing an explosion equivalent to the detonation of a hundred million hydrogen bombs. Vaporized detritus blasted through the atmosphere upon impact, falling back to Earth around the globe. Disastrous environmental consequences ensued: a giant tsunami, continent-scale wildfires, darkness, and cold, followed by sweltering greenhouse heat. When conditions returned to normal, half the plant and animal genera on Earth had perished.

This horrific chain of events is now widely accepted as the solution to a great scientific mystery: what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs? Walter Alvarez, one of the Berkeley scientists who discovered evidence of the impact, tells the story behind the development of the initially controversial theory. It is a saga of high adventure in remote locations, of arduous data collection and intellectual struggle, of long periods of frustration ended by sudden breakthroughs, of friendships made and lost, and of the exhilaration of discovery that forever altered our understanding of Earth's geological history.

True-to-photos color, solid build, and great for organizing
Color: 2Pcs Green
Durability: This tray feels well-made and sturdy. I replaced a fragile tray that shattered when it fell, and this one feels like it would hold up far better to normal day-to-day handling. I am not going to stress-test it, but it feels substantial and nicely finished. Use and ease of use: It does exactly what a tray should do. It is easy to carry, stable when set down, and the woven leather surface feels secure and helps keep items from sliding around. Color: The green woven leather matches the website photos. No surprises, no weird undertones. It looks clean and high quality in person. Organization: This is where it really shines for me. It is a great fit for corralling items on a table, counter, or dresser and instantly makes things look more intentional. It is not stackable, but it is not advertised as stackable either, so that is fine. Size and accuracy: The dimensions match the schematics online, which I appreciated. It fits the space I bought it for exactly as expected. Overall, it looks high-end, feels durable, and is a simple upgrade if you want a tray that helps keep a space organized without feeling flimsy.

Nice tray!
Color: Black
This tray has helped me organize my desk better. I use it for my phone stand and charger, as well as a place to hold and charge my vapors. It has a nice rubber mat inside so nothing gets scratched on the wood. It is well put together and seems very sturdy. I think it will last a long time! It works for anywhere in the house.

Classic gents’ tray
Color: Black
This tray is large enough to hold the items a guy normally carries around in his pockets (e.g., wallet, eyeglasses, cellphone, money, keys, lip balm). The tray is lowkey attractive and keeps a dresser from looking cluttered. The tray bottom is thin yet sturdy. Good price and worth the buy.

Pretty functional
Color: Llight Gray
Looks good and very surprising. But need to check for QA. Mine came cracked on one of the corners and I didnt noticed it. Other than that, I recommend these. Pretty roomy for all your things.
