"Give or take a few years" recalls Helen Thomas.

700,000 years is 70% of one million.

When talking about 64-67 million years ago, less than a single million is an “error” of less than 1.5%.

Not sure how confident I would have to be about the tolerance range of such numbers before going to publication, but that is just me.

Did make the news though..... rather weak sauce if you ask me.

Obviously they will need to revise their theories. It wasn’t not uniform around the world obviously

“this particular plant eater was alive about 700,000 years after the mass extinction event many paleontologists believe wiped all non-avian dinosaurs off the face of earth, forever.”

But he was reeeeeaaal lonesome...

Bob Bakker is right. The “mass” extinction was really a major extinction event amid a long slow decline.

[Snickering Hound]

There goes THAT theory...

These dinos lasted 700,000 years past the supposed K-T event

All other dinos died 300,000 years before the supposed event

Birds, Sea Turtles, Alligators + Crocodiles, All Freshwater species, Honeybees and Photo-plankton lived through the supposed K-T event as if nothing happened (Even though they would be the organisms that should have been the 1st to go).

It's looking more & more that the K-T event was a non-event

Yes I know, An asteroid falling out of the sky and killing the big bad dinos sounds really, really cool, but sorry the evidence shows it just didn't happen.

Alternatively the fellows who kept track of the dinosaur parks on Earth came around to do a survey and found all their animals had been killed ~ so, being good stewards, they brought in some newbies!

They came back 32.785 million years later on their regularly scheduled rounds only to find that LOCAL FAUNA had taken over and eaten all their hadrasaurs. They got so upset they nuked half the new animals.

I fail to see the importance of this. I am nearly 68 years old. I will probably live into my 80's.

So something that lived 64.5 million years ago just isn't relavant to my survival or really needed in my sphere of relavant knowledge.
