The lecturer disputes the author's suggested causes of the mass extinction in the Triassic period. She provides several concrete reasons to cast doubt about the author's claims.
First, according to the author the cause of massive species extinction was the decline in sea water level. However, the lecturer disputes this cause. she contends that an abrupt decline in water level might cause this extensive killing, but, in fact, the decline was a gradual one. Thus, animals might have some time to adapt to this change.
Second, the lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that the extreme cooling in weather might have caused this extinction. However, the lecturer points out that this cooling in weather was only for few years. A few years decline in temperature is unlikely to cause killing of so many species.
Finally, the asteroid theory is also unlikely to be true because no crater was found in location which struck the earth. Theoretically speaking an asteroid cause a crater around the truck area, which did not happen. The only crater discovered was 12 million years before this event took place.
