The question then becomes, could any

American west, in Australia, etc.) Right off the bat, it doesn't

plausible.

Throw in the demonstrated fact that dinosaurs were living in
mid-Arctic latitudes in the mid-Cretaceous

How do you know they were living there? Their bones are just lying
there right now. That's all. Never heard of continental drift? Once,
Alaska, Antarctica, and China were closely justaposed, in around
(relative to each other) where China is now - with the big bone beds of
the Americas very closely (on a smaller Earth) along strike. (Earth
expansion retrofit)

The geiolgists say that North America and Antartica are about as for North
and South then as now. The temps at those locations didn't get that cold at
the time in those locations based on what was living there. At worst it was
like coastal North Carolina. That doesn't mean you can live in modern
Anarctica or Northern Greenland.

and it gets very hard to argue
that there were *no* dinosaurs in upland areas in the summer
hemisphere at
the time of impact/ tsunami, and it gets really hard to sustain the
argument.
The point for the asteroid impact hypothesis is that a
"asteroid
winter" could last *several years*.

Not nearly as long as the million or two from the BIG LIPS, that was
happening right under the Dinos feet. Tsunamis for sure, ...washing
them up creeks and backwaters by the score. Seen the way they have to
dig out the motor cars after the Aceh one? And that did happen on
Tuesday (well, Sunday)
