GGG Ping?
I'm sticking with the flood idea...hehehe
I always thought it was Doug McClure with a spear.
it was emission from pre-historic SUV's (known as mammoths and the large amounts of methane they released, as well as they took up the da*n smokin habit)...
Makes sense. Any one event is probably not enough to cause a worldwide mass extinction -- unless it comes at just the worst possible time because of other events which happen to be taking place at the same time and already putting a strain on the ecosystems. In that situation, it'd be the last straw, but all the events would be contributing factors.
Global warming; who would have guessed?
(Gen 7:10 KJV) And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
(Gen 7:11 KJV) In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
I know I'm beat BUT

BLAME BUSH
Try 40 days and nights of rain and floods!
I get tired of all this bickering over how many million years ago something happened. I say let's just build the time machine and go back and settle this once and for all.
maybe the work of a serial killer?

Wasn't Chicxulub that annoying little guy who used to mess with Superman - the guy you had to say his name backwards to make him go away?
Vindicating Gore and increasing his chances for a 2nd presidential nomination...
He was right, he was there!
Perhaps its a fact of life on an ever-changing planet.

I would go with the simple notion that a meteor that large could have created a caldera where it hit. Then, in a relatively short period of time the caldera would have erupted in a supervolcano, wiping out all nearby traces of the meteor hit.
The location of that crater could be narrowed down by the only places on Earth without an Iridium layer attributed to that meteor.
Was the Deccan event an asteroid impact? There was another massive lava event in Siberia. Was that also an asteroid impact?
Growing? I don't think so. It's already grown, The evidence has been overwhelmingly against an impact wiping out the Dinosaurs since day 1
according to a paleontologist who says multiple meteor impacts,
More & More Epicycles!!!!
Give it up already, I know the big bad dinosaurs getting wiped out by an asteroid just sounds so cool, but there's no such evidence of an impact or impacts having any kind of significant effect.
massive volcanism in India, and climate changes culminated in the end of the Cretaceous Period.
Makes much more sense
Marine sediments drilled from the Chicxulub crater itself, as well as from a site in Texas along the Brazos River, and from outcrops in northeastern Mexico reveal that Chicxulub hit Earth 300,000 years before the mass extinction. Small marine animal microfossils were left virtually unscathed, says Keller........
What the microfossils are saying is that Chicxulub probably aided the demise of the dinosaurs..........
The second part contradicts the 1st,
Gee, these impact scientist are almost as bad as the flood "scientist"
