And as for not finding bones at the KT boundary it's pretty apparent to anyone that studied the impact that the entire surface of the earth was incinerated in ways you have to study to understand. Surface of the earth was probably around 25000 degrees for a period of time. Only underground and deep ocean animals survived.

Bakker was on a recent episode on Discovery Channel... I think it was Discovery. He stated the 20 million year extinction was mainly due to disease spread by parasites and insects.
