The main item that no one seems to point out in lit is the fact that mammals could have caused the dino decline. They did a number (according to paleo types) on the monster pred birds of South America. But didn't cuase the demise of the Moas or Elephant Birds. Strange inded the problems one comes up against. But this is all so off topic (except the K-T Boundary parts). And I'm curious as to why no one has used a magnometer on these lake sites. Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: Sterling K.
