Nobody knows the answer to this, but it is worth seeing what others think.

Ammonites were the totally wiped out by whatever caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Ammonites were those round, spiral shelled molluscs that prior to the extinctions swarmed in the oceans by the billions. There are fossils of them an inch across, and others 4 feet across. They were incredibly successful, and the hundreds of different species existed for hundreds of millions of years.

But they all disappeared 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs went. Not one is left. Not even a descendant. At least they think the dinosaurs gave rise to birds.

Then if the event, whatever it was, could kill off all these fairly small sea creatures, how come huge sharks survived in the same oceans? Lots of other shellfish survived. Why were these ones wiped out?

In its way, it is a much bigger mystery than the dinosaurs. It is just that we find dinosaurs much more exciting creatures.

I am seeking information on how to reach people inside these agencies. Any links or contacts would be helpful. I am discreet if you email me.

This experiment they are doing off the coast of hawaii is an attempt to identify dark matter? If I am understanding this correctly if I am not just disreguard. If you can give me a quick run down on that I would appreciate it. I am just trying to understand this more, if they do identify dark matter how does this effect Neuton and Einsteins theories?

I have had experienced contact with aliens. Who could I contact? Besides area 51, are there any other known agencies like SETI? Out of curiosity, do you believe right now living aliens of any form could be living among us, dealing with governments and people, studying and communicating with us right now? If so, how long do you think they have been here? Do you think they came after the first radio signal left Earth?

This is not a question ..

Thought this might be interesting to post for the Pluto debaters ..

another important factor to consider is before it was discovered by clyde Tombaugh and labeled a
planet .. it used to be a moon of neptune, broke away from it's gravity & then got caught in the sun's
gravity & orbited around that . It used to be that a planet was clasified as orbiting any star . Now it's the make up and size of a planet .

I am an avid reader of SpaceWeather.com and I follow the sun's status faithfully. An article stated that there was a "backward sunspot" I know WHAT a backward sunspot is (where the polarity is opposite of what it should be) but HOW in the world do they determine the polarity? How can they tell this?
