Another more recent Huffingtonpost article that I found. Quoted from HuffingtonPost: 'Did the first mammal with a placenta live alongside the dinosaurs — or did it emerge after a gigantic asteroid wiped them out? This is the subject of a heated debate that pits scientists who contend that fossils are the ultimate timekeeper of life’s history against researchers who say that genetics offers more reliable dates.' 'Such disputes have been waging for decades... ...But the skirmish over placental mammals — animals that give birth to live offspring that are in late stages of development... began with a paper published early last year, arguing that the group diversified only after those dinosaurs that did not evolve into birds went extinct, 65 million years ago.' Read the rest at the link below: Did First Placental Mammal Live Alongside Dinosaurs? Scientists Can't Agree
