Another paper that seems to be out of touch with the actual inferred ecology of 
the Mesozoic (i.e., it once again assumes that the K/T event was the end of the 
dinosaurs, instead of the end of 75% of all life on Earth). 



Also, no mention in the news story about how other reptiles were able to 
survive the K/T, or why viviparous plesiosaurs and mosasaurs bit the bullet.
