Diseases & K/T Extinction

["McKee, Joseph" <J.McKee@gns.cri.nz>]

I agree with Nick Longrich, diseases did not cause the extinction of the
dinosaurs at the K/T bouandary. The NZ Dinosaurs were in isolation from the
rest of Gondwanaland sometime between 85 - 90 million years to the end of the
Cretaceous, so a disease theory would not hold water!!! We also have some of
the highest iridium levels in our K/T sites, including Woodside Creek, one of 
the
three original sites of the iridium discovery.
