[@billr6983]

I think it was both an asteroid AND volcanic activities. I watched a video (Demolition Ranch) where he shot a large solid glass ball with guns. One bullet hit the ball on the front, causing a nice crater. Then they noticed on the other side of the ball, exactly opposite the bullet crater, a small roughly circular area of cracks. The interveving areas of glass were unaffected. It was like a shock wave went around the glass and focused on the opposite side, magnifying their power to cause the cracking. I think the same thing happened to earth when the asteroid hit, causing the traps volcanism.

[@jack1701e]

Huh, that's interesting! I have seen on another video, Atlaspro's video on Mars, about how the large martian volcanos line up with large craters on the opposite side of the planet. Hell Hawaii here on Earth lines up with a massive and ancient crater in Southern Africa. I wonder what volcanos were triggered by this impact, wonder if there's evidence of it too!

[@erichtomanek4739]

This is shown on Mercury. I don't remember the names, but there's a big crater and at the antipode a mass of jumbled terrain.

[@JimmyOwen0992]

You are describing the theory of antipode eruptions post impact. This is a common theory for a lot of impacts and one that was brought up with this one linking the Deccan traps together as the traps were pretty much on the opposite side at the time. However, there are basalt deposits from the Deccan traps that predate this impact. But another more prominent theory is that it was a double hit to life. It started with the enormous volume of greenhouse gasses expelling from the Deccan traps and then this impact. The meteor impacted in a shallow sea which had a thick floor of carbonate rock. The impact valorized a crazy amount of this carbonate rock and released massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Coupled with the months of fire raining down onto the surface and the years of nuclear winter afterwards, the final nails were hammered into the coffin for dinosaurs.

[@eamonia]

I can't help but watch these videos with child like fascination. I keep catching my face striking these silly expressions that only stuff like this could manifest. Your worlds are a wonderful place to escape to, Alex.

[@IreneSalmakis]

the problem with the flood basalt hypothesis is that it took several million years for the Siberian traps to cause the end-permian extinction, and it happened in waves. By contrast, the K-Pg extinction happened almost instantaneously, pointing to a cause much more immediately catastrophic. It seems most likely that the Deccan traps were weakening ecosystems, and made the impact even more devastating than it would otherwise have been.

[@zeff8820]

I agree

[@cenotemirror]

My problem with it has always been the presence of the asteroid itself. Expecting anyone to believe that a massive asteroid hit the earth at the same time as a sudden and abrupt mass extinction, but WASN'T THE CAUSE, always struck me as incredibly silly without some pretty compelling evidence.

Most of the newest evidence says that the asteroid weakened the whole ecosystem but the volcanoes slowly chiped away at the dinosaurs for around 200k or even a million years before most of them became extinct, but there are still debates if the volcanoes were caused by the impact or if they were active well before it and it just happened for a huge metheorite to strike at that time.

There's a lot of Star Trek novels out there, but there is one that I read last year called "First Frontier." The story is batshit crazy. In a nutshell, descendants of dinosaurs who were seeded on another planet and have since developed into intelligent and technologically-advanced species, travel to earth, go back in time and prevent the asteroid from hitting the planet, thus essentially erasing humanity from existing, and therefore, no Starfleet. Kirk and co. are in a temporal anomaly on the other side of the quadrant that is a direct result of the timeline being altered, and they survive the changes. They go back to earth, beam down to Starfleet headquarters, and all they see is a grassland area. They also encounter Vulcans and Klingons, but both races are vastly different than what they know them as. Kirk and his people end up having to go back in time to prevent the dinosaur people from averting the asteroid impact. One of the final scenes ends with them in orbit of earth as the asteroid makes impact. Just an absolutely crazy premise for a story, but if you're both a Star Trek fan and a dinosaurs enthusiast, you will love "First Frontier."

something thats never been mentioned before, is there were ALOT of animals that survived the asteroid that ate eggs, mammals snakes reptiles etc., a huge factor determining what species survived the years after was whether or not they laid eggs and if they did how well were the eggs protected from predators, birds kept them safe in trees, dinosaurs would have had a hard time protecting them from small predators unless they were in marshy areas like alligators
