I believe that the dinosaurs became extinct due to climatic change and not by an impact of a comet or a large meteorite! The demise was of the dinosaurs was mainly due to the drying up of the shallow sea ways and other climate changes! If a bolide impact destroyed the dinosaurs it would have wiped out every living thing not just dinosaurs! Many organisms survived the K/T boundary mass extiinction! It is as if the comet had the name dinosaur because it only destroyed them and not other forms of life! The effects of a bolide impact as described would have wiped out all animals and certainly more species than survived the K/T boundary extinctions! What is the current thought on this? Regards, Mike! :) :)
