A new paper about the direct dating of dinosaur bones, has been published online in advanced of its publication in “Geology.” It is:
Fassett, J. E., L. M. Heaman, and A. Simonetti, 2011, Direct U-Pb dating of Cretaceous and Paleocene dinosaur bones, San Juan Basin, New Mexico. Geology, first published on January 5, 2011, doi:10.1130/G31466.1 http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/early/2011/01/05/G31466.1.abstract http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/current Based on such dating, they argue that within the area of what is now New Mexico, dinosaurs survived the K-P impact and became extinct within the Paleogene.
