To mainstream scientists, cryptozoology occupies a spot somewhere near the fringe of science; it is often classed as a protoscience or pseudoscience, bracketed with ufology and parapsychology. One writer comments: "This is a field that has carved a strange path between relative respectability and derision in the last century.... Quasi-academic articles often try to claim for the field a level of scientific rigour that denies the clear links between certain writers in the area and 'fringe' paranormal beliefs."<ref>Day, Peter (2006), ''Vampires: Myths and Metaphors of Enduring Evil'', [http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN9042016698&id=vAMRyvJR5bkC&pg=PA99&lpg=PA99&ots=nF9bU3K2a3&dq=cryptozoology+paranormal&sig=HvyoxVGvVosUIG8KR29F0dD4z94 p. 99]</ref>

A significant reason for this skepticism is Darwinist dogma that dinosaurs (as well as other creatures) became extinct 65 million years ago. The indisputable findings of [[soft dinosaur tissue]] upset this assumption as well as the great number of documented living fossils.
