A challenge to Paleontologists...

Today,when I was browsing through my english T.Y.S, I suddenly thought of a topic that me and acenitez had discussed over the phone a few days ago. We talked about the Bermuda triangle,Lochness monster...so and so. Then all of a sudden, something strolled into my mind.



I was beginning to wonder. Even as a student myself, I should not be doing irrelevant research like 'Dinosaurs' as it is not related the the subjects that I am taking. But here's my question I have to both the scientists and Paleontologists of the modern century. HOW FAR CAN YOU PROVE THAT DINOSAURS ARE EXTINCT?...



Let me present my case...

As we all know, Dinosaurs such as the tyranosaurus rex had been extinct as long as 65 million years ago. It was caused partially by the comet and the climatic changes the dinosaurs had faced. Due to the shortage of food during that period,the land dinosaurs went extinct. I did understand the fact that all land dinosaurs went extinct...there is clearly no visible sight of any dinosaur on land...however,can the Paleontologists ever prove the fact that dinosaurs in the sea are totally extinct and vanished from the face of dear mother earth. As we all know, the land makes up approximately 1/3 of the earth's surface...by that, the scientists and Paleontologists can definitely uncover the fact that land dinosaurs were totally extinct...but however, on land, there are still millions of different species of creatures that are yet to be discovered. Since on land, the scientists and Paleontologists have not found out the existence of other species of creatures as it was difficult,therefore,we can conclude that the creatures at sea are much harder to uncover. The sea and ocean cover approximately 2/3 of earth's surface. Since on land, the creatures are already difficult to be discover,it will definitely be much harder to search for much newer species of underwater creatures. The sharks had been living in the earth's tropical waters ever since before the time the dinosaurs roamed the planet. If dinosaurs in the ocean had gone extinct,how can the sharks be still swimming happily in the ocean? The entire ocean is so huge and the scientists can never finish exploring...therefore they cannot conclude that all dinosaurs are extinct. Scientists in our modern society had gone across oceans to study different kind of fishes and just by coincedence,they discovered new species.So my point is that,the scientists cannot really find out whether all dinosaurs in the sea went extinct.If they were extinct then what about the sharks??Sharks are still here. Recently in the strait times,it was said that the Paleontologists uncovered the skeleton of an ancient fish which was said to be the fish during the late jurassic period. How can they find a skeleton of a million year old fish? I think that the fish must have died rather recently.If the fish had died for millions of years ago,the skeleton had already become fossil fuel deep down the seabed. This could be a prove that dinosaurs are not truely extinct. We cannot totally assume that dinosaurs are gone. There is not enough prove that they are gone. We have to prove something in order to make something seem logical and scientific.Apart from evolution, we cannot make a judgement that dinosaurs are extinct.The lochness monster was seen in the tropical waters of scotland.I think that it is the plelosaur...it cannot be an elephant swimming. We can totally see that the dinosaurs are not totally gone or forgotten but are still around us waiting for us to discover...they are waiting.
