The K-T event is a mass extinction, which killed the dinosaurs and 90% of all species, the 2nd largest ever (to the Permo-Triassic), is famous for the large bolide (extraterrestrial object) impact that occured off the Yucatan, creating the Chixulub crater. Glass from the crater is dated to 64.98 +/- .01 million years ago.
This event caused global devistation, evidenced by:
1) Differing Sr ratios from global wildfires
2) Microdiamonds from fried Carbon
3) Tsunami deposits found all over the southeast US
4) Stishovite (a variety of quartz which forms in extreme pressures)
5) Worldwide Iridium anomaly. Ir is usually found abundantly in space, but it is very rare on earth. All over the world, at the K-T layer, the amount of Ir is much higher than normal.
It is theorized that the impact created magnitude 12 earthquakes and blocked the sun for as long as 9 weeks.

There is much more to this than meets the eye at first glance. The standard answer will be something like a huge meteroid hit the earth long ago (i.e. Millions of years) and caused mass extinctions. However here is something that shows some major problems with that theory.
In Mexico there was a very advanced culture named the Chupicauro people that lived from about 800 BC to 200 AD. They lived in the region called Acambars. One of their legacies was the ceramic models that they produced. Several cashes of these models have been found. The Mexican museums have about 35,000 authentic models. Included in these models are models of over 75 different dinosaurs. There are no dinosaur grave yards anywhere in the vacinity. How did these people know what dinosaurs looked like unless they had seen them?
On the other side of the world, in one of the palaces of the Ankor Wat complex that was built about 1000 years ago in the rain forest of Cambodia there is a column with carvings of various animals that were indigineous to the area at that time. Included in these carvings is a Brontasuarus. There are no dinosaur graveyards there either. How did these people know what dinosaurs looked like unless they had seen them?
All of our lives we have been brought up with the idea that dinosaurs went extinct over 100 million years ago. It seems that this is not the case. How did they become extinct. Possibly by over hunting. They were big creatures that could wreck havoc. If they were systematically hunted down extinction would be the result. We need to go no further than the Passenger Pidgeon to see that over hunting causes extinction.

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.
II Pet.3:5-7 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
……………………………………….
THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.
………………………………………………………………
BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
AND THE EARTH WAS
The word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
AND THE EARTH BECAME
WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.
………………………………………………………………………...
BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen.1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.
