85 percent of all species died in the K-T extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period. This article provides information on the geological setting, the species affected and the possible causes of the event.
From the Classroom of the Future website. Includes an introduction to the major theories on the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event.
An original, serious and well-argued theory by F.Malmartel explaining dinosaur extinction, especially why dinosaurs disappeared when other reptiles survived.
Information on current and past hypotheses on dinosaur extinctions from the University of California Paleontology Museum.
Essay by Richard Cowen about the mass extinction of many species that occurred at the end of the Cretaceous Period and how the catastrophe hypotheses hold up to scrutiny.
Article by Pete Goddard on this subject covering the sea, the land and the air, and coming to the conclusion that the evidence points to a single catastrophic event.
After the extinction event, the dominant life form was the fungi that thrived in the dark. Researchers have constructed a timeline of the fungal takeover and eventual replacement by resurgent plant life.
