But none of them are dinosaurs. We have a good fossil record showing the connection of current gators, crocs and sharks to their ancestors during the age of dinosaurs.

I understand none are dinosaurs. My point was to say that there are species that certainly have survived.

We're not in disagreement- some species did survive, including some pretty large species (such as crocodiles).

There was probably more going on than just the meteor that hit the Yucatan. Rather than just one cause of their demise, there were probably several factors that created a perfect storm of extinction for dinosaurs (who were already probably slowly dying out).
