I've got to admit that eating some poor creature that looks like a prosthetic cock, just stone cold raw off a plate seems like a scene from a Hieronymus Bosch themed restaurant!

...temperature estimates for the End-Permian mass extinction and its aftermath strain belief. In the Karoo Desert, as rivers stopped winding, insects stopped buzzing, and mass death swept over the land, the temperature might have jumped as much as 16 degrees Celsius. On Pangea, 140-degree-Fahrenheit heat waves wouldn't have been unusual. In the tropics, ocean temperatures skyrocketed from 25 degrees Celsius-similar to today's oceans- to perhaps upwards of 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). This is the temperature of a hot tub, or as End-Permian expert Paul Wignall puts it, that of "very hot soup." Multi-cellular life simply can't exist in this sort of globe-spanning Jacuzzi. The complex proteins of life denature-that is, they cook. The language of academic papers is typically measured and sober, but even the peer-reviewed science literature describes the early Triassic period that followed this worst mass extinction ever as a "post-apocalyptic greenhouse."

what if it wasn't the asteroid: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/09/dinosaur-extinction-debate/565769/
"Before the asteroid hypothesis took hold, researchers had proposed other, similarly bizarre explanations for the dinosaurs’ demise: gluttony, protracted food poisoning, terminal chastity, acute stupidity, even Paleo-weltschmerz—death by boredom (…) She* argues that the mass extinction was caused not by a wrong-place-wrong-time asteroid collision but by a series of colossal volcanic eruptions in a part of western India known as the Deccan Traps—a theory that was first proposed in 1978 and then abandoned by all but a small number of scientists."
* = Gerta Keller of Princeton, who "says she’s been called a 'bitch' and 'the most dangerous woman in the world,' who 'should be stoned and burned at the stake.'" lol rational academic debate eh
― mark s, Wednesday, 29 August 2018 10:24 (five years ago) link
I think she might be right about the Deccan Traps playing a bigger role in their extinction than the Chicxulub jobbie. All the other major extinction were during hothouse or cooling earth periods, why should this one have been any different?*

pplains, I disagree. In my opinion, any pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at erupting volcanoes should go in the "pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at erupting volcanoes" thread.
