Hey RockWhisperer, I was they too. The halls were indeed alive with great theories. And Dewey was always interesting to me though many feared getting “trapped” in his office. Good times. Go Turtox Pigs! Though I just read several articles that suggest that volcanics cool the earth (Moore, 2007) I so want Dewey to be right.

this is interesting infomation, but the only problem is if a series of volcanic eruptions occured to cause the KT extinction then the sulphur dioxide would be trapped in the atmosphere it would cause a massive global cooling. and turn earth into a snowball planet. but this theory can’t be true because if it did the a small layer of the planet would have snow particles in it. >.<'

This is an interesting theory, along with others, but so far, Gerta Keller has been the professional in recent years to endorse this theory, seeing as she was the one who presented it. According to her reasearch, the main argument against the Yucatan impact is that it predates the dinosaur extinction, but only record of that(the extinction) is from dating dinosaur fossils, and 300,000 years is a short time in geological terms, and I doubt fossil dating is accurate enough to completely affirm the date of the final ‘extinction’. Remember extinction is a process, and not a single instanetaneous event, and a study of extinction does not exist, as it is a hard subject to study.
