Evolutionary biologists and geologists generally believe that a mass extinction of [[dinosaurs]] and other organisms happened 65 million years ago at the end of the [[Cretaceous Period]]. The primary cause of this extinction is generally believed to be an asteroid or comet impact, linked to the large crater found off the Yucatan Peninsula.<ref>[http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/SIC/impact_cratering/Chicxulub/Discovering_crater.html Chicxulub Impact Event: Discovering the Crater.] Accessed April 24, 2007.</ref>

Some creation scientists believe that virtually the entire geologic record within which fossils, including dinosaur fossils, are found were laid down during the Flood or its immediate aftermath, thus there was no K/T event. <ref> [http://www.trueorigin.org/cfjrgulf.asp Assessing Creationist Stratigraphy With Evidence from the Gulf of Mexico.] Accessed February 24, 2008.</ref> Every dinosaur kind was created by God during creation week approximately 6,000 years ago, and Noah may have taken dinosaurs with him on the Ark.
