Does anyone know what the event that wiped put dinosaurs from the earth called?

Answer 1

Mesozoic Extinction. 65,000,000 years ago a large asteroid hit the Earth on the Yucatan Peninsular in the Gulf of Mexico.

Answer 2

There have been many thousands of scientific papers written that include that subject, so it has been called many things. It's very common for it to be called the K-T Boundary Event or the K-T Mass Extinction Event. When they talk about the asteroid that hit at that time, they usually call that the Chicxulub Bolide Impact.

Enough people have written about it it has been officially called many names. Most of them try to call it something that doesn't suggest anything about exactly what it did or how it did it because if they did, new discoveries about what happened could affect the standing of their paper even if it didn't directly pertain to what they were talking about.

Answer 3

There was no such single event.

Many dinosaurs were killed by the global flood - any buried aong with billions of other creatures in the sediment, to be found as fossils.

Those that think the dinosaurs died out millions of years ago are perhaps unaware of the large amount of evidence indicating that they lived recently alongside man.

There are many written accounts and depictions of dinosaurs.

Remember that the word dinosaur was invented in 1841. Before that people used names like dragon.
People from all over the world have accounts of dinosaurs: the Chinese who have incorporated it into their lunar calendar, The Welsh who have the dragon in their flag; The account of the Saxon Beowolf; The native american thunderbird; and other stories from many other nations. The Romans even made mosaics of them.

Furthermore, dinosaur fossils have even been found containing blood cells - hardly 65 million years old.
