Cretaceous Dinosaur Extinction

Evolution, 1968
The reign of dinosaurs, dominant on land for about 150 million years, terminated at the close of the Cretaceous. They did not all disappear at precisely the same moment, but from a peak of about 120 genera near the middle of the period, dwindled in numbers down to the end of Cretaceous at which time a large number of genera became extinct (Newell, 1962;

Are Dinosaurs Extinct?

Foundations of Science, 1995
It is widely believed that empiricism, though once dominant, is now extinct. This turns out to be mistaken because of incorrect assumption about the initial dominance of logical empiricism and about the content and variety of logical empiricist views.

Dinosaur physiology. Evidence for mesothermy in dinosaurs.

Science (New York, N.Y.), 2014
Were dinosaurs ectotherms or fast-metabolizing endotherms whose activities were unconstrained by temperature? To date, some of the strongest evidence for endothermy comes from the rapid growth rates derived from the analysis of fossil bones. However, these studies are constrained by a lack of comparative data and an appropriate energetic framework ...
