If the fossils are 95 million years old, how could their burrowing behaviour have anything to do with surviving "the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs nearly 65 million years ago."? 202.76.142.198 00:03, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It can't , the researchers only make the general remark, that as dinosaurs burrowed, some may have survived some initial phases of the meteorite impact, 30 million years later. As in : not only mammals . (There is an obsure paleontological point of 'will we find remains of burrowing dinosaurs , that survived the impact a few weeks or a year and can tell us more about the circumstances prevailing'). The 'hindu' article however says something else interesting, it is a distant relative of the iguanodon, i wonder if they mean of the iguanodon specifically or as in 'of the salamander/chicken'. I guess it's the creationists elements screwing up again, it is rather an evolutionairy truth that they wud burrow like that or still better 30 million years later, in the eyes of some , and maybe it is just a tad to related to the iguanodon.80.57.243.16 11:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
