Dinosaurs in NE Asia not killed by asteroid smash -- study
A new China-led study by 30 scientists from eight different countries has yielded powerful evidence challenging the dominant, decades-old scientific theory that dinosaurs were wiped out after an asteroid collided with the earth.I want someone to explain to me how a 100-meter drop in sea level would cause the dinosaurs to die.

Among conflicting and controversial hypotheses explaining dinosaur extinction, the asteroid theory is the only one that has been proven by scientific evidence and is universally recognized by scientists, Sun said.

Regions in northeast Asia had similar geographic environments 65 million years ago, where volcanic eruption, climate cooling and up to 100-meter drops in sea-level might have been the major factors that wiped out the dinosaurs, said Akhmetiev M, a Russian geologist who participated in the program.

The 100 meter ocean drop closely matches the 130 meter drop during the last Glacial-Interglacial change, 12,000 YBP. Therefore the BIG cold blooded reptiles didn't make it.
Interesting fact...."the fixed parameters of flight are lift, drag, thrust and gravity....Pterodactyal had 11 meter (36 ft) wingspan and Peruvian Condors have a 5 meter (16 ft) wingspan...the obvious conclusion is that there was TWICE the atmosphere in the Triassic Era"....from Slaying The Sky Dragon.
Assume gravity and 'thrust' from bone muscle and skin constant over this period, then the only variable is 'lift' from atmospheric density. This is cross species as the 65 million year old Meganeura Dragonfly has twice the wingspan of the Atlas moth. Nothing in the universe is as static as the brains of the Warmists and their Lukes.
