why do you think dinosaurs really died out?

I mean, a lot of other species from that time frame survived... why did dinos die? Meteor impact? (some say that is what the Grand Canyon is) but then would that affect the ones found in China?

This thread is a joke, right?

The Grand Canyon was formed by erosion, it's not the site of an impact event.

What is known about the K-T extinction event is roughly 65 million years ago, a 10 kilometer (6 miles) in diameter, object slammed into the Earth at extremely high speeds. Such a large impact would have had approximately the force of 100 trillion tons of TNT, i.e. about 2 million times as great as the most powerful thermonuclear bomb ever tested. The resulting Crater is known as Chicxulub Crater, and was found in the 1980's.

We also know at the this time there was a supermassive, ongoing volcanic eruption going on in India, known as the Deccan Traps, which certainly wouldn't have helped.

The resulting cataclysmic changes as a result of these events did not lend itself to a thriving global ecosystem.


As to why some species lived and others died off, that remains a bit of a mystery. Most surviving species tended to be small, warm blooded, and able to retreat in times of great distress.

That isn't the case for all though.
 
Maybe aliens killed them off.
 
Im a big evolution geek... I just believe everything evolved over time.

If not then it was definately chuck norris who killed them.

sharks, gators, crocs, reptiles and insects lived.


Most aquatic species actually came out pretty well during the KT extinction event. Some, improbably, actually worked their way towards dominence. It can be said the brief period after the KT extinction event and before the rise of the Age of Mammals was actually the Age of the Turtles.

You slept through science classes, didn't you?
 
We're relatively sure we already knnow the location of the dino-killing impact. It's on 1/4 land and 3/4 in water, somewhere on a west coast in Mexico, I believe. I'm sure someone else knows what I'm referring to.

I thought it was in the Gulf of Mexico, just off the Yucatan?
 
LOL@ The Grand Canyon and China. Not really clear on the global effect of massive catastrophes, are we?

Flood, as evidenced by one of the largest grave yards of Dino remains in the world.. location.. North Dakota

the bodies are lined up as if washed up on shore..

go figure..

You two fail at reading threads.

the theory i was taught in middle school was that a meteorite impact caused an iridium cloud to blanket the atmosphere and block out the sun. most plants died during the long dark winter which starved the herbivores, and then the carnivores starved.

also a t.a. in college mentioned that maybe small mammals absolutely pillaged dinosaur eggs and wrecked the population

the females stopped giving up the pussy
 
they were large animals that needed a lot of food to survive, environmental conditions severely displaces their food supply both for carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores, and they died off. Just like the wooly mammoth, sabertooth tiger, etc.

Some species DID survive, we still have snakes, aligators, and other reptiles that are decendants of dinosaurs

Ur Mum is desecended from fat pigs...




OH, SNAP !!!!!!!!

Best explanation I have seen is the meteor impact around the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. It was mondo huge. Atmospheric dust created an ice age. They couldn't get enough food to survive.

They had four chamber hearts so the old saw about them freezing to death (due to being cold blooded) is bullshit.

did you feel that movie was unfair to persians on a whole?

almost every movie portrays its villains as perverse and evil; this movie just happened to involve persians
 
dannomight said:
why havent gators or any of those creatures that survived evolved?

Why do they need to evolve? You only need to evolve when your surrounding environment is changing from what I understand, what has changed about how any of those animals live day to day?

And they died because you touch yourself at night.

this is what i meant to say
 
The male dinosaurs told the females that they were beginning to look a little wide in the hips...

their environment did change but they didn't. evolution isn't real we just killed off most threatening species even homo-erectus. we hid after the meteor impact and fed off the carcasses.

let me ask bran.

also, i think you are unfair to persians on a whole. or in a hole.
I've never denied being unfair, but I'm also not a nationally syndicated movie.

fuck what bran thinks, he rejects his persian roots anyway, I'm interested in what YOU think

the grand canyon has nothing to do with a meteor. the actual impact site of the meteor that ended the dinosaurs' shit is under water in the gulf of mexico.
 
Planet killer asteroid, BANG, big ass cloud covers the planet and temperatures dropped. Dinosaurs weren't cold blooded, so they died of the hypothermia (it doesn't really take much). They didn't know how to shelter against any form of cold and they didn't have fur.

Cold blooded reptiles, small mammals and anything else that went into a hibernative state survived.

The environment for insects really didn't change at all. If they fed off of waste then it was Pay Day for them.

I don't think their environment was hurt bad at all. If a creature can live in an area and still eat and breed then it won't change. Something has to weed out the gene pool for the ones with certain genetics, and it seems the whole line of them survived without a problem. Who knows, how did the Egyptians build the Pyramids, is there really a God, and why won't Jessica Simpson return my letters?

aliens taught the egyptians, god could be an alien, jessica would rather you show up at her house in person rather than stalker letters. You just have to outrun the security.

The one I heard are the fossils are the bones of demons that Michael smote during the casting out of Lucifer and his minions.

It could be the leftovers before Cthulhu started dreaming in his house at R'lyeh.
 
the dinosaurs had a youngguns too, only they called this one youngtalons. he talked so much fucking crap that all the dinosaurs fucking murdered themselves.
 
God killed all the creatures that didn't believe in Jesus.
