This didn’t get a ton of discussion in 2021 when it was reposted—does anyone know how the claims/research have held up in the paleontology community?

- DannyBee 4y agoLooking at the wikipedia article/etc, it looks like the answer is "reasonably well" IE repeated papers in Nature, no obvious rebuttals/etc, invited talks at lots of places.
- goatlover 4y agoThe obvious rebuttal would be that other animals survived that day, and it's hard to believe that no non-avian dinosaurs would have been adequately sheltered across the entire planet. The land masses didn't become entirely devoid of life, which one would think would be the case for something that could kill off the dinosaurs in a day across the world.
