What killed the dinosaurs?

What did it? Debate that here. Here is my theory:

Its a normal day in the Yucatan Peninsula, 65 million years ago. You look up and see many shooting stars, during the day. Then, you see a big one, and it looks to be coming towards the earth. Then, you know it is, you begin to run. A few minutes later, you here a huge explosion. Behind you, a cloud of dust and fire, equal to an eruption of the Yellowstone super-volcano, is flying in the air, you are whisked into the air and are choked to death by the ash.The sun begins to become blocked out. It is dark, and cold. The plants are dieing, along with the the herbivores, it becomes an all you can eat buffet for the carnivores, as the sea animals go on with their normal lives, since the impact did not affect them as much, and the mammals eat whats left of the other dead animals. But, after about a year, the carnivores are just about all out of food. They resort to cannibalism. Soon, with the helping hand of the highly volcanic terrain of the Late Cretaceous, the dinosaurs, finally, died out. After years of darkness, the sun finally shone through, the world was much different. Huge hairy Animals like the Mammoth, the Mastodon, the Giant Ground Sloth, and the Short faced bear roamed the earth. Giant birds hunted while cat with huge teeth hunted the giant birds. And, monkey like animals, that walked upright, Hunted them all. They, were humans.

Thank you.

Hmm,oh,uhh,a metor umm came,and killed all the dinos,and there you go,the sun was covered by dirt.

i don't like to think about it poor dinos

the metoer peed on them the were sqished like a pea ramed over by a car wheel T.T or maybe they were frozen to death nah i think the meteor hit them and fried them like our MC.donalds french fries but turn into skeleton

i really don't take it much when they say, dino's were killed by a massive rock from space. i prefer to understand malcolm's theory.

some guys say is the gaint valcano full with lava.well since its in pherictoric time its bigger and better

well. i think a giant volcano is not enough to obliterate almost 99.5% of life on earth in the prehistoric times.

I think that on the Ark the dinos got some sort of chemical or toxin, and all died. idk! its a guess

yea your guess is true for me

Please don't one word post.

oh ya ha, well its waaaaay to complicated for us to ever REALLY know what happened. or will it..............

ok ok im back

like i said, we will never know for sure.

bull crap we alreaddy know its the meteor

I mean dinos evloved into birds.

I don't believe that it exactly was the "all-you-can eat buffet;" the carnivores would eventually have a depleting food source because the herbivores would die while the plants died. Therefore, the feast didn't last forever. However, it is most likely true that the remaining carnivores had to become cannibalistic to survive.

I never said it would last forever. the food would run out after a year or so.

ROTFL, I never suggested that, either. Or, at leat, not directly at you. I was simply quoting over the "all-you-can eat" part... It brought my attention, for some reason.

Ya, a carnivore is walking around. "Hmmm, what should I have, some fried gallimimus or a roasted triceratops?" lol

where's the duck-bill ribs? lol.

It was probably a multitude of events, occuring over a long period of time that killed of the dinosaurs

THe meteor helped, but wasn't soley responsible. It probably lowered the tempreture, killing of the larger creatures so only the smaller, feathered dinosaurs and insulated mammels survived.

Definetly wasn't a global flood to kill of evil man though. We might not know what did it, but we know what didn't do it, and that didn't

but we know what didn't do it, and that didn't

What, my rersponse? Mine is perficaly logical.

I Think Nova was trying to narrow it down.

I agree with allo on this. His explanation makes sense to me.

Why then, did crocodiles survive, but plesiosaurs die out?

Why did sharks survive, but icthyosaurs die out?

A meteor was involved, we know there was an impact. But to say that it was solely a meteor leaves a few questions unanswered

They were larger than the crocs, so they need more food.
