The "Exploding Dinosaur" Theory


Dinosaur...Dinomite...the next logical conclusion is that dinosaurs all spontaneously exploded, causing the mass extinction of 65 million years ago. Ok, that's not really what the article is about, or how you spell "dynamite", but I'm sure you could convince someone of it....

Anyway the real "Exploding Dinosaur" theory deals with the fact that many adult dinosaurs were fossilized intact while their embryos lay skattered across the ground around them. The theory was that gases built up during decomposition, causing the dinos to explode....ew. Well that's not the case anymore. Swedish scientists say they've debunked that theory and come up with a much more plausible, but not nearly as exciting, theory. Check it out
