Talk:Kerguelen Plateau

message: Sure would be odd for dinosaurs to be living on Kerguelen 50 million years ago, considering they died out 15 million years prior... 68.8.108.62 12:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Well, it can't be correct.  There could not have been dinosaurs there 50 million years ago, since they were already extinct.  I think that source needs to check its facts more thoroughly.  There may have been dinosaurs on Kerguelen, but they would have had to have been there prior to 65 million years ago.  I think we should look for a more reliable reference before re-inserting the material.  Thanks.  --Seattle Skier (talk) 21:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with you Seattle Skier, I'll try and find more about the dinosaurs thing sometime. However, It doesn't say the dinosaurs existed 50 million years ago, the ferns and plants existed during that time. Black Tusk 09:25, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  But the sentence "Small dinosaurs..." comes between the two sentences "Fifty million years ago..." and "Twenty million years ago...", which implies the dinos were there sometime between 20 and 50 million years ago.  --Seattle Skier (talk) 01:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Your right, I didn't notice it was in order before. That's weird, I would think they would know dinosars were extinct during that time. Black Tusk 10:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

text: There is a theory that dinosaurs survived for a few million years after the yucatan impact in Australia,  this article has some references to the typed " polar dinosaurs "  Being that they are supposedly at one point connected,  antartica, australia, even kerguelen,  its possible they survived under this theory in this location as well. --Loganis (talk) 21:41, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dinosaurs

message: I have chosen to remove the preceding sentence because of its vagueness and because it contains a logical fallacy, to wit an appeal to authority: 
Scientists hope that studying the submerged Kerguelen continent will help understand the break-up of Australia, India and Antarctica.
Which scientists? --Paul from Michigan (talk) 11:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The article states that the Kerguelen Plateau is 1 to 2 km (0.6 to 1.2 mi) below sea level. This may be so for the southern half of the plateau but much of the northern half is shallower than that. Volcanoguy 22:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
