There aren't any recent Dino extinction theory threads, so:

Where did the dinosaurs go? How did they disappear? Did some (specifically theropods like the velociraptor) evolve into birds?

Discuss under standard rules.
 
I prefer the meteor hit, threw dust in the air, plants died, dinos died, more dinos died. The scavengers lived off the carcasses.
 
Chuck Norris went back in time and killed them.

I go with the theory that an Asteroid hit the earth causing global climate change.Large dinosaurs with their long life spans could not adapt quick enough to the rapid changes in climate compared to the small mammals with shorter life spans who can span many generations over the lifespan of one single dinosaur.
 
Asteroid comes... KABOOM!

Pretty simple really...
 
One of them gained clairvoyance, saw the world as it is today, told the rest of the dinosaurs, and they all decided to kill themselves.
 
The dinosaurs became so numerous their bodily gases killed them all. /Half sarcasm as it was proposed once by a scientist.

I go witht the meteor and a slow die-out over thousands of years as the climate was affected and few larger land animals were able to survive.
 
I heard they recently discovered the link between birds and dinosaurs. So, most dinosaurs died out because of the meteor hit and those that survived evolved into birds. The end had come for large, land-based reptiles.
 
either a meteor hit or a big ass volcano erupted...iono history channel is interesting though
 
Meteor. Big ones die. Small carnivores eventually evolve into birds.
 
Meteorite for me too. It's more epic than diseases or weather.
 
Metor theroy. It does explain a lot, and it wiped out the plant eating dinos, and then the meat eaters.
