They died off from hairy palms....

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

I saw an interesting science programme recently. The dinosaur extinction theory revolved around the meteorite impact in the present GOM area / Yucatan peninsular. Massive heat blast from molten mantle material released by fracture of earth's crust - 'volcano' BBQed everything within about 600 mile radius of impact site. Tsunami wave effect damaged local coast line of mega continent of the time - Pangea or Gondwanaland. Embarrassingly, do not remember the name even though IU studied mining and petroleum geology for my first degree. The dust plume / fragments of earth crust rose high into the atmosphere and spread out, creating reduced light levels and temperature drop: silica particles acted like tiny mirrors, reflecting sun light back into space etc.. This created a 'nuclear winter' effect globally.
So, big dinosaurs begin dying off, eh / ph of sea and rivers changes killing sea creatures, as plants begin dying and temperatures drops. the food chain is disrupted, so dinosaurs begin dying off. So far so good.
BUT, and this is where I have additional thoughts. It is now thought the dinosaurs were warm blooded, not cold blooded. Creatures that size would have to sun bathe a lot just to shuffle around. Not efficient and would not give them enough time to eat each other etc.. So, they would have been able to deal with some temperature variation and migrate somewhere where things were better.
Also, if the 'nuclear winter' killed the plants, which starved the herbivore dinosaurs which, in turn, killed of the T Rex type beasties, how come the little mammals and insects survived - insects to pollinate plants, little creatures eating the insects, plants and each other if it was polar conditions everywhere? I am thinking the continent wide effect, away from epicentre might have been 10 years worth of wet,mild summers, like England but then things would gradually turn around. There are precedents for this Santorini and Krakatoa volcanoes creating weather disruptions. Additionally, the geological records show a number of distinct extinction episodes.
I would hazard a guess the dinosaurs were too specialized / adapted to their environment and when this changed over time, began dying out. The magnetic poles have flipped a number of times through geological history (from my studying memory), earth's precession / wobble on earths axis and slightly elliptical orbit around the sun played a part in ice ages. which have occurred at different times in the geological history as well, as shown by the lithological / stratigraphic record.

They didn't go extinct. Today we call them birds. Most dinosaur species went extinct, though, by the end of the Cretaceous. No one is sure why, but likely had a lot to do with whatever celestial object made the Yucatan Crater. They didn't go extinct. Today we call them birds.

You need to catch up from the Enlightenment, Hutton, Lyle, and Darwin. You are a Christian and teaching right? The dinosaurs became extinct after The Flood and world wide environmental changes including the ensuing ice ages. You have a lot of reading and catching up to do. Don't preach this like its fact. I gave you credit for more....perhaps wrongly.

The dinosaurs died out because there was no single payer health care.

Wouldn't that have taken the crocodilians with them? Same distributions.

They had large scale problems from the gecko. Ain't nobody know a joke when they sees it? Sheesh.

They took Jesus out of their schools and it all went to hell after that.

Somebody mentioned it before, but the latest accepted theory among the "educated" is a M-A-S-S-I-V-E Volcanic event in the wilds of Russia, released enough lava to cover the entire United States in many many feet, and the resultant gases and such had a major climate change effect.
This was closely followed (in geologic time) by the Chicxulub event in the GOM, which had its own environmental effect along with setting the entire world ablaze.
However, nowhere in the world has there been found ANY dinosaur above this KT boundary of the Chicxulub event. You would think some would've died later, farther away and been mixed with the fallout layer blanket coming down to layer the earth. but nada.
Which leads scientists to think the dinosaurs where already deadified when Chicxulub hit.
Incredibly interesting.

'elll, when a better solution emerges, it get's implemented. that's called progress, or even evolution.
when the '06 winny hit the marketplace, the world stood up, took notice, and then bowed down. what's clear is that if the dinosaurs had a hope in hell of surviving, they'd have done so. no?
the dinosaurs adapted, adjusted, and made do, through the changing seasons. winter?

Well He do what He do. He didn't talk any instruction from me. I would've asked He leave a few of the more well known to hang around so I could hunt them.

But Im poopooing on the joke.... So I'll say they all caught cold after their employers made them go smoke outside, cause second hand smoke kills. (Unless its the new and improved dope smoke.).

this crap is not a joke. it's real. when the asteroid struck the Urth it caused a warble in the orbit. it cause the urth to lean backward, and then re-correct. the whole thingy took a whack, and adjustments were made. it brought on wintertime. cold, cold cold. dinosaurs don't do cold, right? enter the mammals, hairy, small, and plenty of fur & food.
evolution is with us. but so what?
