Dinosaur Killers

**An asteroid killed off the dinosaurs?

*Are you kidding me?

In this riveting nonfiction book, Alexander Popoff

explains how the asteroid and volcano theories, which are prevalent

among scholars, are not viable because they can't explain many specifics

of the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction: the presence of

extraterrestrial amino acids in the soils for tens of thousands of years

before and after the catastrophe, the loss of part of Earth's

atmosphere, the multiple spikes of iridium and extraterrestrial amino

acids in the K-Pg boundary zone, the extraterrestrial soot and elemental

carbon in the boundary layer, etc.

Dinosaur Killers also resolves the longstanding riddle of why

some species died off while others survived. In the words of the

paleontologist Dr. Robert T. Bakker in The New York Times, "It is as if

nature aimed a smart bomb at the animal kingdom, designed to kill off

only certain groups."

   The K comet extinction theory explains the killing mechanism behind this Cretaceous smart bomb.

One of the most hotly contested questions in paleontology revolves

around the three-meter gap in the fossil record immediately prior to the

boundary layer, representing about 100,000 years. Most often, it is

assumed that the dinosaurs were already extinct at the end of the

Cretaceous. As a matter of fact, the dinosauria was still alive and

kicking when the catastrophe killed off most of the species on Earth.

You will find the conclusive answer to this riddle in the book.

Popoff also presents a theory on the 1908 Tunguska meteorite

mystery in Siberia, which can help us better understand the K-Pg mass

extinction and the loss of atmosphere during that catastrophe.

   The book explains also why the huge dinosaur species did not need

to be truly warm-blooded and why warm-bloodedness would have killed

them in the hothouse Mesozoic world.

Dinosaur Killers presents fascinating details about the ancient

atmosphere, which determined some specifics of the Mesozoic world,

making giant flying reptiles and 50-ton dinosaurs possible, and explains

why such extraordinary animals could not live today and why it is not

possible to reconstruct the original authentic Mesozoic world in an open

habitat, including the dinosaurs, as Michael Crichton did in his

fiction book Jurassic Park.

Dinosaur Killers skillfully integrates elements of a research

book with the narrative of a scientific detective story. The K comet

extinction mechanism is an exceptional contribution to the study of

dinosaur demise and the implications for the survival of humanity.

Many scientists believe that if dinosaurs had continued to

develop, they probably would have evolved sophisticated brains and would

have created a civilization, landing on the Moon and roaming the Galaxy

sixty-five million years before humans.

The book also gives an overview of 146 other dinosaur extinction theories, some outlandish, some not.

The dinosaur extinction mechanism is finally revealed.
