Uncle Siphuncle Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Dinosaurs, ammonites, probably lots more. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The Wikipedia entry might not be comprehensive enough for your purpose, but it is a broad view, and there are links which might prove useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous%E2...xtinction_event "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Auspex Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Dinosaurs, ammonites, probably lots more. One class of Dinosaurs survived; most of them taste like chicken.

LanceH Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I was surprised to learn Inoceramid oysters didn't make it. They are ubiquitous around here in our Cretaceous deposits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evans Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 JP, One of my favorite books is The Eternal Frontier by Tim Flannery and it describes the ecological history of North America starting at the end of the Cretaceous and with the death of the dinosaurs. It goes into great detail about what did and did not survive and at what locations. It also describes how and when what critters repopulated the continent.

Boesse Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Keep in mind that plesiosaurs and mosasaurs went extinct as well, and probably other groups of marine reptiles too. Also, pterosaurs kicked the bucket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
