Subject: [ RadSafe ] Dinosaur Bones

Dear Radsafe,
 
     Hope you are well.  According to television  (Ancient Aliens show) 
Dinosaur bones are quite radioactive
(Calcium, K-40, Radon, what else???).  Anybody ever count any???   What 
were the radionuclides
present?????
 
    They also suggest, possibly, that nuclear warheads were  also a 
possible mechanism for ending the dinosaur era.  Wonder who nuked
them????  I 
guess some dinosaurs survived the bombing (birds, some  reptiles, some 
dinosaurs, Nessie (Loch Ness), Coelocanths etc.).  I guess  Ocean water
would be a 
pretty good shield against nuclear blasts.
 
    I guess other mechanisms for dinosaur destruction were  
comets/asteroids, volcanoes, etc.
 
    If nuclear bombing of the Earth did occur, then one  wonders how 
completely (by surface area) the Earth's surface was  destroyed.  Is the
iridium 
layer observed worldwide rather continuous in  extent and thickness, and

could it have been produced by nuclear warheads?   Or is the Iridium
layer 
distribution more pointlike
(i.e. indicated by circular areas on the Earth's surface, i.e. kindof
like  
a Poisson Distribution???).
 
    Maybe some of you can stop laughing/guffawing now.   Time to get
your 
favorite Geiger counter or portable MultiChannel Analyzer and  Germanium

detector and count some bones at your local museum.
 
    One Ancient Alien Archeology site had traces of  radioactivity, but
the 
buildings etc. were still standing.
Did someone have a neutron bomb way back when????  Of course, the
Ancient 
Alien shows never tell you the activity levels present or the
radionuclides 
which were present.
 
    Regards, Joe Preisig
