Dinosaurs
The
Dinosaur Mailing List: I founded it
Here
is my own summary of Bakker's 1986 book including three open questions
The
Dinosaur Interplanetary Gazette
Dinosaur Extinction: Actually,
I feel that the Volcano-Greenhouse Theory is responsible for the K-T boundary
but that NEITHER the Volcano-Greenhouse Theory NOR the Asteroid Impact Theory
were responsible for the dinosaur extinction. Moreover, you should read
The Great Dinosaur Extinction Controversy and find out what "pathological
science" is. Here are some interesting reviews:

2,
3, 4.
