[dinosaur] Would non-avian dinosaur survive through the whole Cenozoic?



Good day,

in his book "Dinosaurs Rediscovered", professor Mike Benton states that even if non-avian dinosaurs survived the K-Pg event, they would probably eventually perish some 50 or 40 million years ago (due to climatic changes and/or other perturbations). This is because of their limited ability to evolve new species in the last millions of years of the Cretaceous. What do you think about this? Thank you very much! Tom
