* That dinosaurs are not known from the fossil record above the [[Cretaceous]] strata is not reason to believe that they have not survived until more recent times.

* Some have said that the fact that non-avian dinosaurs are not known from the fossil record above the [[Cretaceous]] strata is not reason to believe that they have not survived until more recent times. Usually, though, they are ignoring that 65 million years separate the K-T boundary and the present.
