David
Frank's paleontologist friend who he can always turn to for any really difficult questions or problems. Currently he has a shed full of boxes of dinosaur fossils to catalog and categorize.
Garrett

Could the avian dinosaurs have landed on the Moon?
If you believe in evolution, this is not only a distinct possibility, it may even be inevitable.
Evolutionists don’t really know how the birds survived the 66 Ma K-Pg Extinction Event and freely admit this.
“only the birds made it through the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous - but nobody is quite sure why”, “why these bird groups survived when other dinosaur groups didn't is a good question, and one that hasn't been answered satisfactorily”.
Though some novel suggestions have been made: The avian dinosaurs [birds] could “dive, swim, or seek shelter in water and marshlands, build burrows, or nest in tree holes, or termite nests” though this stretches the imagination when you realize the meteor impact may have released the energy of about 138 billion Hiroshima A-bombs, along with “a trillion tons of carbon dioxide, ten billion tons of methane, and a billion tons of carbon monoxide” and blasted “ten trillion tons of sulfur compounds aloft. The sulfur combined with water to form sulfuric acid, which then fell as an acid rain” which hammered down on the surface “killing plants and animals and even dissolving rocks. This rain would have been as corrosive as battery acid”. After some years of this Pangea would have been completely stripped bare of any vegetation. Also "the event rapidly acidified the oceans" and we could expect that only the hardiest species survived there also.
All land and river species most likely perished. And some dissenting evolutionists have suggested as much:
“Birds, tortoises, and mammals live on land and breathe air: the evidence from the K-T boundary shows that they survived the K-T boundary event. Therefore they and the air they breathed weren't set on broil for several hours. To put it simply, these scenarios did not happen.”
“There must be some explanation for the survival of birds, turtles, and crocodiles through any catastrophe of this scale, or else the catastrophe models are wrong.”
“some extreme impact scenarios postulate extensive acid rain bathing the earth for a long time after the impact. However, the survival of amphibians shows that this is simply a fantasy … If the entire earth had been subjected to a huge acid bath, there simply would not be a frog or salamander alive on the earth today.”
And we are told:
“what really killed the dinosaurs was sulphuric acid”
If sulphuric acid killed the dinosaurs, then it definitely would have killed all the birds, frogs, and salamanders!
Yet in all of this there is still one question that has not been addressed. There were many non-avian dinosaurs that looked like birds. If the birds survived, then why didn’t they?
So we have an interesting set of questions:
Why and how did the birds survive the K-Pg extinction event?
If the birds did survive, then just what really killed the bird-like non-avian dinosaurs?
And just how did the turtles, crocodiles, tortoises, mammals, frogs, and salamanders survive?
In fact, given the unbelievable devastation, how did even just 25% of all species survive?
This story gives a possible answer to all these questions.

Cropped to Cretaceous period.
The Cretaceous pic is stated for 65 Ma. But with current thinking perhaps this should have been 66 Ma? And was the pic constructed for exactly 65 Ma or just the end of the Cretaceous which is now considered to be at 66 Ma? Just some curious thoughts.

Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado has numerous dinosaur fossils, including bones and tracks. The most common track type at the site is Caririchnium leonardii, which was made by an iguanodontid dinosaur.

The birds are avian but these footprints may not be but they look OK. And Ornithomimus is a bird-like non-avian dinosaur. So again, it's close enuff!

English? It doesn't matter. I could have used a language scrambler and then use the font, but really at the end of the day this just didn't really matter.
An Ma date? Sure, like someone trying to sell old Roman coins with a B.C. inscription--you know they are fake. This is just for us. And hey, it is just a story. Enjoy!
