JOURNAL ARTICLES
Many journal articles on dinosaurs can be downloaded using Academic Search Premier on the online resources page of the Jernigan Library. Interesting and useful examples include
The National Museum of Natural History (a.k.a. the Smithsonian) presents evidence for a catastrophic impact causing the extinctions at the K-T boundary
Norman McLeod argues that the K-T extinction was not the result of a catastrophic impact
Dewey McLean makes the case for greenhouse warming as a result of Deccan Traps volcanism
Visit the Hooper Virtual Natural History Museum to learn about mass extinctions through geologic time, including Cretaceous Extinctions
