Experiment Do you know how we know that an asteroid killed dinosaurs?

[Caesercel]

Let's see how many of you can tell the reasoning behind this without looking it up. If you have your own creative schizo theory on how they found out an asteroid did it, then post it. Or any other theory of dino extinction for that matter.

Edit:
Since no one gave the correct answer here is the explaination:

Iridium is an element that is not naturally found on earth. But it has been discovered on asteroids from outer space. They discovered a layer of iridium in the geological layers that mark the boundary between cretasceous and palogean period. This layer can be found in the same geological spot all over the planet. And the corresponding time period of the layer matches the time around which dinosaurs disappeared from the fossil record. Hence it's theorised than an asteroid took out dinosaurs

It's just a theory. They didn't find it out, and there is no finding out

Hypergamy killed dinosaurs

Evidence is pretty strong I would say

I don't know of other explanations either. That doesn't mean the evidence equates to proof

 

[retributor]

it definitely didn't wipe them out instantly

 

[retributor]

my schizo theory is that maybe some other ecological calamity was occurring at the same time the asteroid struck

They saw the crater left by the asteroid

 

[Caesercel]

They saw the crater left by the asteroid

I might be wrong but I think that the crater was discovered after we already knew that asteroid took out dinos. So they must have come to that conclusion in some other way.

We don't even know for sure that dinosaurs actually existed.

I don't know honestly

Theory has a different meaning in science than in everyday use.

it is not only assignable to science but yeah sure you are right

Another idea I've heard is that it was a plague. Some hungry carnivore ate a diseased carcass of an herbivore and it spread quickly. I suppose you could still blame an asteroid if it brought the germs to Earth in the first place.

Wtf did you make it?

However, this iridium layer is not as well-defined as previously once thought. There are currently over 100 known iridium anomalies. There is much circular reasoning about the K-Pg boundary. That is, dinosaurs died out at the K-Pg boundary. How is this defined? Simple: any rock layer with dinosaur remains or tracks proves that it’s below the boundary.2

Ironically, there is hardly any iridium in the site of the ‘smoking gun’ itself, or in the ejecta claimed to be directly caused by this gun.

 

[RuudVanNistelrooy]

For example, if an asteroid hit the earth leading to a nuclear winter, how did the photosynthesis-dependent plants survive? Why did delicate bees and moths, or even sensitive amphibians such as frogs and salamanders survive? If volcanic activity and toxic gases filled the earth after an extinction event (such as with the volcanic or carbon dioxide theory of extinction), then why did the birds survive? Birds have a unique and very efficient lung design, but that makes them more vulnerable to toxic gases (cf. canaries in coal mines).
