heads, necks and feet arched bizarrely backward into a distorted posture My Mom always said: "It's probably just gas".

I can’t help but wonder if they would be so condescending as to describe this as ‘kitchen science’ if this fundamental work had been done by a man.

Hmmm, what possible could have caused drowning, and/or ash from volcanoes killing so many fossils?

BTW, do you know of any dinosaur fossils at exactly the same level as the K-T iridium clay layer?

Nature is cruel? Duh.
And dooooo-gooders would rather let deer die of starvation and disease due to overpopulating their range, rather than let hunters cull the herd.
Ever see that video of the killer whale tossing the seal up in the air, like a cat playing with a mouse?
Never mind this. It's ok if Nature is far more cruel than humans. Nature, Good. Humans, BAD.

What ever happened to rigor mortis? Seems like a perfectly acceptable constuct to me.

They would. The term describes experiments not done in a lab with formal funding. It’s been in use for years.

My gosh! Scientists still haven’t even figured out if dinosaurs were cold-blooded or warm-blooded, and yet they tell us about all of these other details that they supposedly know. What other basic information don’t they know, and why should I trust them?

Okay, this is just a guess, but maybe they got too close to Al Gore?

wouldn’t it be stupid to hypothesize that every human skeleton dug up had died at the same time , or even within the the same decade or century? If dinosaurs supposedly were around for 10’s of millions of years, then many, many more individuals would have died one by one over that time than would have died in some “final cataclysm.”

"asphyxiated by volcanic gases or ash falls, poisoned by unknown toxins or drowned in swamps or deepwater lakes." Or drowned in a BIG flood.
