What killed the dinosaurs?

I was just joking. I think it's all wrong. Crocodiles survived. So did alligators, turtles, and lots of snakes and lizards. Nothing big survived, but then where are the woolly mammoths and mastodons? The evidence I've seen suggests they didn't die out suddenly, that it took millions of years, and the "die-off" started with the larger reptiles.

Does it really matter? Seriously, they wouldn't be here now anyway. If they hadn't died off at the end of the last ice age, then humans would have killed them off, so it's like a moot point, like where is the dodo? What was that other thing? A roc? Is that what it was? Some kind of bird?

I don't know if you noticed, but where ever you have humans, stuff doesn't last very long and kind of gets torn up.

You guys....ugh. Has no one seen the REAL reason why dinos went extinct?

No doubt!

[Smoke]

my dick killed them.

[jeffweeder]

my dick killed them.

Baha, your insignificant littlle dick only contributed to the downfall of the rest of us.

Since your mood is flirty does that mean your actually making that comment because your really INTERESTED in him and his little dick?

[jeffweeder]

I .my friend m interested in only my own penis.

[Assassin X]

What if someone else is interested in it? Like a smoking hot girl like Perf? Oh shit. Thats a guy. Well OK...another girl? lol.

[jeffweeder]

What if someone else is interested in it?

Well , u m, i wouldnt be surprised if they did....

Since the discovery of soft tissue from the T-rex there has been talk of cloning it.
I think I saw that on Discovery Channel, but am having trouble finding a link.

[Skynet12]

I think I might have found something about that here

Smoke, save your dick for another thread plz. xx

That would be amazing. As Skynet showed though: We need to keep Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill at least 5 miles away from any cloned dinosaurs.

my dick can't be that small if it killed the dinosaurs now COULD IT! bunch of sassies.

sorry to get off topic skynet continue on.

Actually I think it was a couple of things working together that killed the dinosaurs. I have given this a bit of thought and have come to the conclusion that an asteroid hit the earth. That in itself, with a big enough asteroid, could cause an extinction. But the asteroid theory alone always left me thinking there was something else I hadnt considered. The asteroid hits. That kills alot of life forms within a given radius, but doesnt wipe out life around the whole world. The global death happens when the dust cloud rises up and blocks out the sun which starts two major events. One is killing the plancton and land based plant life which starts a food chain disruption. The other is the lack of light starts an ice age. Ice ages and disruptions in the food chain dont happen over night. The extinction of the dinosaurs happened relatively fast. That left me thinking something was missing...

This is what I think happened:

An asteroid hit the earth. That started all the things we usually associate with an asteroid impact. But it also started a pole shift. The impact caused the massive tectonic plates to bounce and vibrate and start to shift positions. Once moving centrifical force sent the heavier plates toward the equator, typically the ice caps in terms of pure mass, which of course means the moderate and tropical land masses had to move somewhere else. This massive motion would have emptied lakes and tilted mountains on their sides. Oceans would have poured across entire continents. Level ground would have become mountains and mountains would have become empty vessels waiting to be filled with passing oceans.

There also would have been two places on earth where relatively little happened. There would have to be a radius of gyration around which the tectonic plates would move. The center of that radius would not move at all but simply rotate in the same location. The amount of destruction there would be relatively minimal compared to other areas farther from the geographic center of the radius.

The idea that some land masses moved great distances and had oceans washing over them while others appeared relatively unmolested explains alot of the disqualifying factors that debunk so many extinction theories. My theory explains how we can find prehistoric oceanic fossils on top of mountains embedded in enormous salt deposits. No one has adequately explained the presence of these fossils and large deposits of salt on top of mountains. One suggestion was that the natural motion of the tectonic plates and normally occuring subduction was responsible. That is simply not possible. Normal plate motion takes far too long to turn an ocean bed into a mountain. The fossils on top of the mountains date to the same period as other fossils found precisely where they should be. The two theories are therefore mutually exclusive.

My theory, where some areas were devastated and others were relatively unscathed, explains why some evolutionary chains completely disappeared while others continued uninterrupted.

Therefore: It should be possible to trace the centers of the radii of gyration back to the geographical locations of the evolutionary chains with the fewest anomalous disruptions. The greatest disruptions, ie. mountains with oceanic fossils on their highest peaks, should be equidistant from the centers of the radii of gyration.

Er....it was just a thought....

Sorry - I was rather late reading this thread.

I too recall something about cloning a T-rex. I believe my mother told me about it. But I'm not really comfortable with cloning a dinosaur - espcially one that could eat New York City. Where would they keep a T-Rex if they were able to clone one? And what benefit would it serve? A live dinosaur is not going to tell us why or how they all died out.

[olddragon]

They will keep it anywhere it wants to be.
Once the population has grown enough we can hunt them.
Big game, see how many fat ass guys can be eaten out the back of a pick up truck.

[Spectrum]

So why bother with a single incident when a combination of factors are likely, Meteorite hits earth sets off seismic activity, the unstable earth erupts, the dust of the Meteorite and volcanic activity combine and trigger droughts and famines, even ice melts. and after 3 or 4 months, 90% of biosphere is dead or dying, a year later all are dead, and new set starts evolving.

Some things are better left unsaid, I mean dead.

I say fuck with the dinosaurs... they are old news! Why not concentrate on preventing our own mass extinction, which if it does happen will become the sixth one.

Read the following article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7078857.stm

And watch the trailer for the documentary called "The Call Of Life - Facing The Mass Extinction":

+ YouTube Video

[JenaS62]

I agree! We need to concentrate on savings those species that are on Earth NOW. I'm sorry, I cannot watch another sad video. Yesterday I made the mistake of watching a video about the Chinese Moon Bears that the Chinese extract (through an incision that is left unclosed on purpose) some type of glan liguid. They keep these little bears on cages so small they cannot really move around at all. These bears live about 20 years. They showed them in their cages just rocking back and forth. They must have been driven mad by the confinement. Luckily for 500 of the estimated 7000 of them in captivity, a group of people has gotten permission to rescue them. Another image I cannot get out of my head. I want to nuke China.

[Sabacthani]

Admittedly, I did not read through the whole thread - but I did get a basic feel for the discussion. I would have to go with a pole shift. Watch this vid and be prepared to learn somethings that will frighten you and bring understanding. This is not a "theory" it is proven and scientifically presented.

It's nice to see at least ONE person on this site thinks. Unfortunately, your reasoning defies geology and history. Don't feel bad, you have the most intelligent ideas presented. We don't know what caused the extinction and the reason is 99% of dinosaurs disappeared before the K/T extinction. There are so many contributing factors it would make your head spin. Hell, there's enough geologic evidence to say an impact NEVER happened. Don't believe everything you read in the papers.

[serge_regulator]

Thank you for the kind words. I think there are quite a few gifted and insightful people on this site though. And of course there are a few blatantly diagnosable pathologies mixed in as well. But then I could say that about any website. I think they are just a little more vocal here. :-)

[gwenstefni]

The extinction mystery is far from a simple "whodunit." The same piece of evidence is sometimes subject to multiple interpretations. And, as yet, there is no obvious "smoking gun," no piece of evidence that strongly supports only one hypothesis while disproving all others.
