yeah I saw this somewhere else and it's like they're trying to claim that this fossil proves that the astroid killed the dinosaur's but I thought like that astroid threw up debris all over the place and in fact made a layer over the entire earth and that you could go by that in that that layer of debris caused by the explosion that that would've definitely killed the dinosaurs I guess.

The main suggestion from Tanis seems to be that even two thousand miles
away from the impact site, there was massive destruction immediately
after the impact, and droplets of molten rock from the impact site
raining down.

Then came the very long Winter as the dust settled, which killed off a
lot of the plant life on land and at sea, which removed the base of the
food chain for many animals.

(My theory, others may contradict it.)

The identifiable layer all over the Earth is how we know that there
was a big asteroid impact 65 million years ago. We don't know that it
killed off the dinosaurs, just that we've found no dinosaur remains above
the line. They might already have been gone when it hit. So remains from
very close in time to the impact strengthen the idea that it was
responsible, of course remains from after the impact would blow the theory
out of the water.

One thing we can be sure about - that asteroid impact was a heap of
a lot of no fun for everything on the planet and it would be amazing if it
didn't wipe out a lot of species. I want to be elsewhere when the next one
hits.

Ignoring current thinking about birds being surviving dinosaurs?

They may not have been entirely extincted in the Southern hemisphere.

Reading the article, fish breathing apparatus found in the area contains
actual rock droplets as do the dinosaur fossil skin, and some of the
fossilised resin.

They posit that because this leg was violently torn off the dinosaur and
was found entangled in débris which included solidified magma in the
right layer of fallout from the mass extinction that this particular
animal was killed by the actual asteroid strike.

Many dinosaurs *did* survive, and their descendants survive to this day
in the shape of birds.

I goove it's possible that there will never be another one, as improved
technology will be able automagically to detect any dangerous trajectory
and to influence its trajectory sufficiently to throw it off-course -
that is, if the unpleasantness initiated by Sputum doesn't pre-empt it.

I presume they must have the same sort of evidence/correlations of
dinosaur/asteroid/extinction event at that particular time as we have
for the volcano/human/extinction event in Pompeii in 79AD

It just never pays to post prematurely before one has read all the facts and apparently that is exactly what I did and I apologize and I here by retract all my comments

Do you mean those really pretty birds that you can see on the streets of London?
