That guy is lying!  The meteroids took out the dinosaurs.  The ice age was much later.  Meteriods slammed into the Earth, kicked up a huge amount of dust into the sky.  From there, the sun couldn't get through the dust in the atmosphere.  Lack of sunlight killed all the plants and did make it a lil colder.  Plant eating dinos died first.  Then the carnivore dinos lost animals to hunt and kill because they weren't there to eat.  No food supply led to a slow death of them and most other animals on the planent at that time

In 1908 a violent flood ripped through the Paluxy River Valley, near Glen Rose, Texas. The next summer, a local teenager named Ernest "Bull" Adams was wandering in a tributary of the Paluxy called Wheeler Branch, when he came upon a series of large, three-toed footprints in the limestone floor of the creek (Andrus, 1975). Similar tracks were evidently known in Texas from even earlier times by native Americans, who reportedly called them as "giant turkey tracks." However, local schoolmaster R.E. McDonald soon identified the Wheeler Branch tracks as dinosaur footprints, possibly based on early reports of similar dinosaur tracks from New England, where they were also initially mistaken for ancient bird tracks. Later geologists more precisely attributed the sharp-clawed, tridactyl (three-toed) tracks around Glen Rose sites to bipedal, meat-eating dinosaurs known as theropods (Shuler, 1917), and in recent years have identified the large theorpod named Acrocanthosaurus as the most likely trackmaker candidate (Langston, 1974). However, the Paluxy would also revealed other types of footprints, which took considerably longer for locals and scientists to understand. \n\nAround 1910, another local youth named Charlie Moss and his brother Grady were fishing in the Paluxy River itself when they came across a trail of three-toed dinosaur tracks on a limestone shelf, along with a series of even more curious, oblong footprints (Andrus, 1975). Described by Charlie as "giant man tracks," these large, elongate footprints (typically 15-18 inches long) were as yet unknown to geologists, but evidently were soon accepted as genuine human footprints by many of the townspeople. For many years most locals seemed to regard these tracks as minor curiosities--evidently not realizing that the immense scientific implications of finding human and dinosaur footprints in the same rocks. Indeed, if confirmed, such a find would dramatically contradict the standard geologic timetable, which holds that dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, whereas the first human remains are only a few million years old (a gap of over 60 million years). Moreover, the track beds in Glen Rose are now assigned by mainstream geologists to the lower part of the Cretaceous period, at or near the Aptian/Albian boundary, dated at about 113 million years (Young, 1974; Bergan and Pittman, 1990). \n\nIn the 1930's at least one Glen Rose resident, Jim Ryals, began chiseling out dinosaur tracks from the riverbed, and selling them to tourists and passersby (Bird, 1954). Ryals also reportedly cut out some "human" prints, but evidently no one took photographs of them, and their present locations are unknown. \n\nAround the same time another local resident, George Adams (Ernest Adams’ brother), is known to have carved and sold at least several "giant man tracks" and dinosaur tracks on loose slabs of rock. George's nephew Wayland once even related his uncle's carving technique to a group of creationist researchers, noting that his uncle would start with a suitable sized block already containing a depression, and then carve in human features at his leisure under the shade of a tree (Morris, 1980, p. 110-126). Evidently this technique involved less chance of breakage than chiseling and transporting real tracks from the riverbed, and allowed one to readily add print details that were typically indistinct or lacking on real prints. On the other hand, Adams was evidently handicapped by his limited carving skill; of the several loose "man tracks" which still exist and are generally attributed to him, all show serious anatomic errors, including misplaced ball and arch, and excessively long, misshapen toes. \n\nBoth Adams and Ryals probably had economic rather than anti-evolutionary motives for their track activities (which occurred during the Great Depression, when jobs were scarce). Ryals may have believed he had cut

The largest dinosaur currently known is Argentinosaurus, from the Cretaceous of Argentina (strangely enough).\n\nIt was a huge, sauropod dinosaur (brontosaur-type, skinny at one end, thick in the middle, and then skinny again at the other end).\n\nEstimates of its size based on the morphology of the bones, and comparing it with other species of sauropod indicate that Argentinosaurus was up to 120 feet long, and around 100 tons in weight.\n\nTyrannosaurus was one of the larger carnivorous dinosaurs around (some, such as Spinosaurus and the recently discovered Mapusaurus were even bigger), but these carnosaurs didn't get above about 8 tons in weight.\n\nThe largest critter what ever lived is the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) which can be up to 150 tons, and happily still survives today.

The geosaurus was a reptile that lived in the seas. It's fossils have been found in Europe and South Africa, with the best preserved fossile was found in Germany.

Well, I gotta tell you that there's a lot of them.  The paleozoic spans a period from roughly 560 million years ago to roughly 240 million years ago.  There's a LOT of them - the periods are the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, and the Permian.  Then we go into Mesozoic life.\n\nI guess maybe an answer would be the types of fossils we find: multicellular organisms, with amphibians being the dominant land animal in the later part.  Dinos don't come around much until the Mesozoic.\n\nOther than that, you get all types of sedimentary rocks and forms as you do now.  Hope that sort of answers your question!

Why did all of the remaining dinosaurs die out suddenly at the end of the Cretaceous period? There is a short answer and a long answer to this question.\n \n2     Here is the short answer. No one knows for sure.\n \n3     Here is the long answer. There are a number of theories. Some are scientific, and some are ridiculous. Most scientists believe in one or two main ones, but no one knows for sure.\n \n4     The reason no one knows for sure is because the whole thing happened about 65 million years ago. No one was around to see or hear what was going on back then, and no one was around to keep records.\n \n5     What we do know comes mainly from fossil records. Scientists study the fossils themselves, and they study the rock in which the fossils are found. Fossil records haven't given us definite proof for any one theory. This is because there are some problems with fossil records. For one thing, most fossil evidence of dinosaurs has been found in North America. We don't know as much about dinosaur activity on other parts of the earth. Another problem is that it is very hard to date fossils. Dating fossils means determining how old they are.\n \n6     One really interesting thing about the big dinosaur question is that scientists from many different fields are working to solve the problem. Astronomers, physicists, geologists, paleontologists, ecologists, chemists, geologists and others are all gathering evidence, experimenting, and researching to try to solve the puzzle.\n \n7     The most popular theory is called the Alvarez Hypothesis. This hypothesis says that, 65 million years ago, a big asteroid hit the earth. This asteroid crash scattered dust high up into the atmosphere. It blocked much of the sunlight and caused the earth to become cooler. The crash also started huge fires, high winds, and violent storms that killed some of the dinosaurs. The lack of sunlight and warmth caused many plants to die. This shortage of plants for food caused the rest of the dinosaurs to die out.\n \n8     The second most popular theory says that activity on the earth itself caused the extinction. As the supercontinent of Pangaea was breaking up, movement of the earth's giant land plates caused volcanoes to erupt and the climate to change. These changes affected the earth's atmosphere and temperature, and the dinosaurs died out from the cold or from lack of plants to eat.\n \n9     Other theories suggest that dinosaurs became so big that they couldn't move, or that there were too many dinosaurs and they ate up all of the food.

The popei plant came around right as the dinosaurs were going extinct... most dinosaurs has really small nasal cavities...\nmakes you think....

Dinosaurs first appearing approximately 230 million years ago and at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago. That is alot of weather. For the most part..., it was warmer but depending on where they inhabited..., the era and the climate..., it covers such a wide range...\n\nHumans could have lived but things would have been rough..., not too many mammals around at the time..., just mostly what looked like rats...

-they were excellent mothers\n-the most ferocious lived in the cretacious period in the ocean.\n-a t-rex bite was so powerful, scientists have found teeth marks on fossils.\n-when brontosaurus flicked its tail, the sound was so crisp, it broke the sound barrier.

I presume you mean what fossil dinosaurs have been found in the state? In which case it's Hadrosaur, ankylosaur & plesiosaur. On the other hand it could be a 'living fossil' thats seven foot long, 250 million years old, and currently lurking in the depths of Oregon's Rogue River? It's the green sturgeon, the craggy, shark-like fish that has quietly eked out a living since the time of the dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.\n\nDinosaurs were not wiped out by a meteorite or a planetary catastrophe but by a serious flatulence problem. Dinosaur wind contained a high proportion of methane gas - powerful enough to penetrate the ozone layer. \n\n"The animals, weighing from 80 to 100 tonnes, would eat on average between 130 and 260 kilos of food every day. They would fart non-stop." \n\n\nDinosaurs became extinct after more than 160 million years on earth\n \nDuring the dinosaurs' time on earth "the atmosphere became charged with methane, which finally damaged the ozone layer and brought about great changes in the vegetation." \n\nThe changes caused a food shortage which eventually wiped them out. \n\nThe ozone layer protects the atmosphere from the sun's ultra-violet rays. \n\nThere are numerous theories as to why dinosaurs died out. \n\nThe most common are: \n\n\nTheir was a Plague of Caterpillars that ate all the vegetatian\n\nDinosaur AIDS\n\nThey all developed cataracts and couldn't see where they were in order to eat\n\n\nWho Knows?

Perhaps... the weather during the early part of the Cretaceous was warmer than today (and more uniform.)  I'm actually in the process of writing a paper exploring the possibility of hadrosaur hibernation in northern Alaska.\n\nI took a tour of a dinosaur resource center today.  The tour guide said that ability to adapt is what saved KT survivors.  Crocodiles can go months without eating.  Birds migrate.  Fish could swim to deeper water.\n\nIt is still highly debated to what caused the Cretaceous Tertiary extinction.
