G.
Several groups of dinosaurs survived that extinction, and the footprints show that new groups 
emerged soon afterward. Before the extinction, about one-fifth of the footprints were left by dinosaurs; after 
the extinction, more than half were from dinosaurs. The changes, the researchers said, occurred within 
30,000 years geological blink of an eye. The scientists postulate that the asteroid or comet impact and the 
resulting death of Triassic competitors allowed a few groups of carnivorous dinosaurs to evolve in size very 
quickly and dominate the top of the terrestrial food chain globally. 
H.
Among the creatures that disappeared in the extinction were the dominant predators at the time: 
15-footlong rauisuchians
 
with great knife-like teeth and phytosaurs
 
that resembled large crocodiles. 
Dinosaurs first evolved about 230 million years ago, but they were small, competing in a crowded ecological 
niche. Before the extinction 200 million years ago. the largest of the meat-eating dinosaurs were about the 
see of large dogs. Not terribly impressive." Dr. Olsen said. The dinosaurs quickly grew. The toe-to-heel 
length of the foot of a meat eater from the Jurassic period was on average 20 percent longer than its Triassic 
ancestor. Larger feet can carry bigger bodies; the scientists infer the dinosaurs doubled in weight, eventually 
evolving into fearsome velociraptors, Tyrannosaurus rex and other large carnivorous dinosaurs. 
I.
The spurt in evolution is similar to the rise of mammals after the extinction of dinosaurs. Mammals, 
no larger than small dogs during the age of dinosaurs, diversified into tigers, elephants, whales and people 
after the reptilian competition died away. The success of the dinosaurs after the Triassic-Jurassic 
extinction may be why they did not survive the second extinction. "Small animals always do better in 
catastrophic situations. Dr. Olsen said, because they can survive on smaller amounts of food." He also 
pointed out that scientists now believe the small dinosaurs did survive. "We just call them birds," he said.
