No way that they know that for a fact. That’s only 1/2% error. Even carbon 14 is not that accurate.

If you really want to hear a paleontologist hissy fit, ask about Paleocene dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs were well on their way out long before the asteroid impact. From what I’ve read the number of species had dwindled to a tiny fraction of what they were a million years before.

Climate change probably played a big part. Also there’s evidence that there may have been some kind of intense radiation burst from space around that time as well.

As Bob Bakker says “I don’t buy that an asteroid could take out a T-Rex but leave a turtle untouched”.

We all know that an asteroid did not wipe out the dinosaurs. The evidence clearly shows that they all died out after electing a third generation Marxist who immediately spent the world into insolvency, seized control of the banks, and implemented single payer dinosaur health care. Within a few years, they were all dead.

Actually, I saw a recent and very good program on what caused the Dinosaur extinction. They didn't have an answer, but they showed how the science of sudden extinction from an asteroid had a lot of holes.

The story here is, Gerta Kelly has been peddling this for years, has been wrong about it, and tries to push it through with press releases.
