as the others mention....there has been clear evidence of a very catastrophic Trauma to the planet some 65 million yrs ago...........believed to some as to have formed the gulf of mexico. The resulting effects from it trickled down the chain until only the smallest mammals were left to tell the tail. The planet has been reborn many times since its conception and will so again. As for your flood theory....it wood take the total melting of both polar caps to produce it , and the specimens wouldnt have been so concentrated from such a flood , they would be dispersed more so.Maybe the dinos to which referred were victims of a mudslide , flash flood or something of that nature. Here in NM they also found on a ranch a substantial gravesite so to speak of dinos like yours who were thought to run alone.......not in packs and they are also puzzled by it. I do believe though there is enough water to flood the entire globe, because I've seen theories that at one time the earth was a giant snow ball caught in eternal freeze because of light being refracted back to space and later greenhouse gasses thawed us, so who knows....good luck hope I could help.

I believe that the Dinosaurs died out during a global flood.

>Dinosaurs appear suddenly in the fossil record, with no links to any ancestors before them. They multiplied greatly, then became extinct.<
>On this point the Bulletin of Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History states: “Species appear in the sequence very suddenly, show little or no change during their existence in the record, then abruptly go out of the record ... .”<
However, there have been discoveries near the poles of large herds of various animals, all quick-frozen, often with green food still between their teeth & in their digestive tracts, that has not broken down. These included mammoths ...
>The quick-frozen carcasses of >tens of thousands< of animals, including huge mammoths, have been unearthed in the far north. What brought their sudden death? Was it the earth-wide flood of which the Bible speaks?<
>In the days of Noah, the Bible says, a great flood covered earth’s highest mountains and destroyed all human life that was outside the huge ark that Noah built. (Genesis 7:1-24) Many have scoffed at this account. Yet seashells are found on high mountains. And further evidence that a flood of immense proportions occurred in the not-too-distant past is the great number of fossils and carcasses deposited in icy, mucky dumps. The Saturday Evening Post noted: “Many of these animals were perfectly fresh, whole and undamaged, and still either standing or at least kneeling upright. . . . Here is a really shocking—to our previous way of thinking—picture. Vast herds of enormous, well-fed beasts not specifically designed for extreme cold, placidly feeding in sunny pastures . . . Suddenly they were all killed without any visible sign of violence and before they could so much as swallow a last mouthful of food, and then were quick-frozen so rapidly that every cell of their bodies is perfectly preserved.”
This fits in with what happened in the great Flood. The Bible describes it in these words: “All the springs of the vast watery deep were broken open and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.” The downpour “overwhelmed the earth,” being accompanied no doubt by freezing winds in the polar regions. (Genesis 1:6-8; 7:11, 19) There, the temperature change would be the most rapid and drastic. Various forms of life were thus engulfed and preserved in frozen muck. One such may have been the mammoth that was uncovered by excavators in Siberia and that is seen in the accompanying illustration. Vegetation was still in its mouth and stomach, and its flesh was even edible when thawed out.<
> If we grant that a great flood could have happened, why have scientists found no trace of it? Perhaps they have, but they interpret the evidence some other way. For example, orthodox science teaches that the surface of the earth has been shaped in many places by powerful glaciers during a series of ice ages. But apparent evidence of glacial activity can sometimes be the result of water action. Very likely, then, some of the evidence for the Flood is being misread as evidence of an ice age.<
>Concerning the time when scientists were developing their theory of ice ages, we read: “They were finding ice ages at every stage of the geologic history, in keeping with the philosophy of uniformity. Careful reexamination of the evidence in recent years, however, has rejected many of these ice ages;"<
> Another evidence for the Flood appears to exist in the fossil record. At one time, according to this record, great saber-toothed tigers stalked their prey in Europe, horses larger than any now living roamed North America, and mammoths foraged in Siberia. Then, all around the world, species of mammals became extinct. At the same time, there was a sudden change of climate. Tens of thousands of mammoths were killed and quick-frozen in Siberia. Alfred Wallace, the well-known contemporary of Charles Darwin, considered that such a widespread destruction must have been caused by some exceptional worldwide event.
Many have argued that this event was the Flood.<

No - it appears to be the result of the impact of an asteroid. There is not enough water on earth to even come close to flooding the earth and the geologic data has no hint of that happening..

No. The evidence is persuasive that their demise had to do with the impact of an asteroid just north of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, 65 million years ago. The exact mechanism is uncertain, but a flood would have had nothing to do with it -- not enough water.

They most likely died from the inhibition of sunlight due to an asteroid hitting the earth and throwing up a lot of soil/particles into the atmosphere.

In a place called Dinosaur, Colorado there is an exhibit that shows several Allosauras skeletons stacked on top of each other as if they had been dumped there.

no, I saw on the discovery channel that if there was a huge flood the atmosphere would become much more acidic than it is now.
