    The only thing that has changed for the dragonfly in the last 300 million years is their size. They used to be massive, but their structure and proportions are still exactly the same as their fossils.
    A system that wires their flight controls directly to their eyes doesn't need change. It's why they have the highest strike-kill ratio in all of earth's history. It's like their muscles can see the food in their airspace and instantly do the math required to eat it.

    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.

      I wonder what volcanos were triggered by this impact, wonder if there's evidence of it too!

    • @JimmyOwen0992
      @JimmyOwen0992 8 місяців тому +23

      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.

    @IreneSalmakis 6 місяців тому +15

    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.

    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

    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.

      @Karl_Jayce It probably did make a mini ice age, but for few years max, if it was only an asteroid there would be a mass dying but not on such a huge scale. Even older models acknowledged this but they thought the asteroid triggered the vulcanism and had a much bigger impact on the extinction then what is now though.

    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."

    We were also taught that they speculate the dinosaur population at that time could have been struggling due to disease as well. So if you combine the Deccan Traps, asteroid impact, and disease it makes it a lot easier to see how a group that was around as long as the dinosaurs were all managed to disappear.
    Obviously, that's speculation too, but I liked the multiple causes explanation because it just seems to feel more realistic than a single event wiping out all the dinosaurs. You'd think if such a single event was that catastrophic that it would have been a lot less discriminating and likely left the "New World" with a lot less diversity in its plant and animal life.

    My biggest question is, if the sky was blacked out for fifteen years, how did any plants survive at all for things to eat? For fifteen entire years? What was the plant extinction rate, and was it only some plants that survived through a very minimal amount of light while others died out? It's just such a long time with a blacked out sky. Or maybe our definition of blacked out isnt right and it was more of like a dark partially cloudy day foe 15 years
