ASTEROID OR COMET TRIGGERED LARGEST MASS EXTINCTION IN EARTH'S HISTORY, FORESHADOWING FATE OF DINOSAURS
New findings provi...
Hi i was just wondering if much thought has been given to whether if an asteroid hit earth causing dinosaur extinction, why would ALL the sealife die out also? how about dinosaurs( i know im using wro...
... This indicates that a meteor hit the Earth 65 million years ago somewhere in Central America causing the K-T Extinction. There is evidence to support that. The mass extinciton seems to have been caus...
what caused the extinction of the animals during the prehistoric time?
What other theories are there for the extinction of the dinosaurs?
what is the reason for extinction of t-rex dinosaur?
...ans, had something to do with it too. A meteor might have affected us as well. So, don't think about the extinction of the "Mega Fauna," being the only organisms affected by an impact, ...
The ammonites are well documented victims of the K-T extinction. The last ammonite fossils were found just below the K-T boundary clay. Please read J.D. Powell's Night Comes to the Cretaceous for...
I saw a report on Teletext suggesting an alternative theory for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Suggested that the plant eaters ate so much foliage that they broke wind continuously. The result was d...
...eous. But as they point out, the fossil record does not support their hypothesis. They also argue that a mass extinction of birds at the K-T boundary would mean that 'most modern bird orders with...

Dinosaurs were not wiped out by a meteorite or a planetary catastrophe but by a serious flatulence...
ERROR in this report: As I have already noted on another list, the Triassic-Jurassic extinction did NOT wipe out the mammallike reptiles (specifically therapsids). Therapsids have long been known from...

G'Day,
What you are overlooking is the so-called 'Broiler Effect', the radiant heating of the earth's surface caused by the massed reentry of a vast quantity ...
I think they all died, except for the few who made sure that they had their bunkers filled with misc food and bottled water, and battery powered radios. These intelligent ones still live in the Loch N...
Hmmm,
They discussed the extinction of the Moa, the giant marsupials, birds and horned tortoises of Australia, and the giant lemurs from Madagascar (yeah, I know! Marsupials and lemurs are mammals...

If you are referring to the Permian Extinction, which wiped out almost 95% of all life on Earth, these are some of the many species that died.
Trilobites
Mouthless fish

Many dif...
Hi
Do you think the causes for the extinction of non avian dinosaurs differed from the reasons for the extinction of avian dinosaurs?
I can't see why it would be this way, but have heard some p...
...le to tell because it depends on how long before speciation occurs and the environment is consantly changing. Extinction doesn't necessarily mean death. It really means the disappearance of all i...
And yes, I do know that the events prior to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event caused more herbivores to die, but it also had its effects on T. Rex, as well. In fact, you would probably be lucky...
How many times will I have to explain this. An impact induced extinction event would result in animals starving to death from lack of plants because the plants have mostly all died from lack of sunlig...
May I suggest the following article which summarises the arguments for volcanic theory of mass extinction at K-T boundary. It also includes a list of flood basalt eruptions and their correlation with ...
Extinction is caused by species killing or causing death of more than it really needs. Basicly animals can also cause their own extinction. Lions are protective of their pride, but if they kill more ...
: extinction debate, for example in the ammonite data, more thorough data : collection did show that extinction was rather abrupt at the K/T boudary, not : occurring far in advance as some had maintai...
I always wonder why people search for a single, primary cause for an extinction, especially the KT extinction. It is almost certain that an asteroid or comet impact had immense environmental impacts u...
The slow-extinction and fast-extinction hypotheses don't necessarily contradict, you know. There could have been a long, slow change in the atmospheric composition and climate, which reduced the ...
Usually, when a press release says that a discovery may shed some light on the extinction of dinosaurs, or whether they were warm-blooded, it actually means 'we don't think you'll find ...
.... The climate was changing fast. So climate change probably killed Utahraptor. As for the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction (or simply K-T extinction) that occurred 65 MYA, scientists mostly agree that a...
