Forty million years ago, the global climate changed from the steamy world of the dinosaurs to the cooler world of todayI was under the impression that the dinosaurs went Kaput a little longer than forty million years ago.

"I was under the impression that the dinosaurs went Kaput a little longer than forty million years ago." Yup. 65 million years ago with the meteor that impacted at Chixlub(sp), Mexico.

I was under the impression that the dinosaurs went Kaput a little longer than forty million years ago.I think what they are saying is the climate did not change across the K-T boundary until about 40 million years ago. The asteroid came, the dinosaurs went, but the climate stayed warmer for 25 million more years...
