***Exactly what was going on with the dinosaurs is rather
hard to know but no evidence suggests that classic dinosaurs were
around after the impact.***
There is some evidence that some dinosaurs may have hung around for a
while in the Paleocene. Quite a few dinosaur bones have been found
above the KT boundary in strata that are unquestionably Paleocene.
Some are probably reworked from Cretaceous strata. Some do not appear
to be reworked and at least one femur is so big that it is maintained
that it is simply too big to have been mechanically transported to its
current situation in Paleocene beds in the Ojo Alamo formation in New
Mexico.
But there is little doubt from current evidence that even if a few
dinosaur species survived the KT transition, they weren't exactly
thriving and died out within a few million years at most.
