Yale Scientists Discover what they think may be the Last Living Dinosaur

There. Fixed it. :-)

One specimen and they project it as “proof”?

Imagine the nonsense you could postulate if one specimen were scientifically sufficient?

Well, Human beings are not going to be found in the proper geological layer either.

Those not killed by the first strike might take a while to die. It could have taken hundreds of years to kill them all.

I think there was more than one reason why the giant reptiles and giant mammals died out. Of course, the asteroid/comet ? could have caused several effects.

It’s a good thing they are all dead. Can you imagine having to pick up the POOP?

What happened to Gansus, a duck like bird supposedly living 110 million years ago and considered a relative of modern birds?

A fossil discovered in Montana has given new momentum to the hypothesis that dinosaurs were thriving right up until a devastating meteor hit Earth 65 million years ago, causing their extinction.

I'm not sure finding one is evidence that they were "thriving". I'm of the mind that they were on their way to extincton and the asteroid impact was the tipping point.

"Tyler Lyson’s general research interests are focused around his field work in the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of southwestern North Dakota."

Looks like they may have moved to SE MT - Glendive.

My personal theory: the meteor event had an effect on the Earth's oxygen levels, lowering them for some long while.

Dinosaurs, being warm blooded, needed a minimum oxygen level. The avian dinosaurs had evolved bigger lungs to cope with the increased oxygen demands of flying, and so were better able to cope with a lowered oxygen level.

How else to explain dinos all dying off, on separated continents, even dinos that spent all their time in the ocean?

I’m sorry but I’m gonna do it.. Is it Larry King or Helen Thomas?

[qam1]

he absence of fossils, some paleontologists say, indicates dinosaurs were already extinct when the cosmic impact occurred......Yale paleontologist Tyler Lyson, lead author of the study, says the new discovery proves otherwise...."To all of our surprise the boundary was no more than 13 centimetres above this horn,

OK so this last Dinosaur was found thousands of years before the KT boundary, so that proves the meteor killed all Dinosaurs thousands of years before it hit??

uuuum OK,

So let me guess, That Wooly mammoth from 10,000 years found frozen in Siberia proves all Woolly Mammoths were driven extinct by the Tunguska impact in 1906

This Dino killed by the Meteor thing has ceased being science a long time ago

In Science you gather data and form a hypothesis

In fake science like this and global warming you form a hypothesis and try to shoehorn all data to make it fit.

They apparently have a picture of this creature.

Now that Bobby “Big” Byrd and Uncle Teddy are gone, who is the last surviving dinosaur?

[Echo4C]

Pfft, everyone knows that Denver was the last dinosaur.

This should have been posted under Comedy.

Don’t tell the alligators that.
They might not take it well... and po’d gators can really wreck your day...
