Ice Pirates??? Holy Cow. I didn't think anyone would remember that one, my brother was the assistant producer.

Firefly.

Two suppositions I find troubling; 1. If ALL dinosaurs were wiped out, then why didn't ALL life get wiped out? Why not turtles? And alligators/crocodiles? Many fish species disappeared but not all fish species. Fossil evidence shows many dinosaurs already extinct at the time of impact and many...

Not at all an issue with asteroid causing volcanic reactions.... the issue I have is what really caused the total extinction. Basically total extinction of the dinosaurs being the operative issue. Asteroid alone? No. Asteroid + volcanoes? Maybe, not likely. Cooled earth from asteroid +...

Try reading what I wrote again.... I'm working on a complete hypothesis, it HAS to include all the variables. All of them. The article didn't exclude the asteroid did it? It specifically centered on the K-Pg event. Yes? No?

I think I covered most of your points: given the asteroid and the volcanic action cooling would occur. Major cooling. Evidence doesn't yet show an ice age however lowering the entire planet a few degrees C would surely be a hit to climate eco-niche plants and dinosaurs. But fossil evidence...

I work in one of the smallest of space; cells. My field is cellular metabolics. I have a PhD and use that work to discover, design and develop cancer adjunct therapies. I recently lost to cancer the one true love of my life, after 43 years of sharing everything together...24/7... we worked...

That's the funny thing about trying to hypothesize about the past; who knows? Why: no one knows. So let's try this one for size; asteroid, volcanoes cool the earth, not much, a few degrees. The impact crater isn't large enough to cause an extinction event. In the cooling, a new enemy emerges...
