The extinction of the dinosaurs
Non‐avian dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago, geologically coincident with the
impact of a large bolide (comet or asteroid) during an interval of massive volcanic eruptions …

Location, location, location: The variable lifespan of the Laramide orogeny
The Laramide orogeny had a spatially variable lifespan, which we explain using a

Dinosaur biodiversity declined well before the asteroid impact, influenced by ecological and environmental pressures
The question why non-avian dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago (Ma) remains
unresolved because of the coarseness of the fossil record. A sudden extinction caused by …

Ecological niche modelling does not support climatically-driven dinosaur diversity decline before the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction
In the lead-up to the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction, dinosaur diversity is argued to
have been either in long-term decline, or thriving until their sudden demise. The latest …
