Have you ever wondered what really happened to the dinosaurs?

Many have attempted over the years to explain what brought about the end of the “terrible lizards” that roamed the Earth roughly between 250 million and 66 million years ago.

  • Some suggest that a massive Extinction Event involved an Earthly collision with a large asteroid that dramatically altered the climate of our planet.
  • Another theory involves a wide-scale volcanic eruption that changed the chemistry of the living environment in which the dinosaurs had previously roamed.

But I think both of these ideas are just plain silly, and totally not based in any scientific fact. My better theory is that one day in the Late Cretaceous period, a pack of dinosaurs rumbled through a fairy village, flattening homes, bridges, gardens, and more, destroying everything and inciting the fairy inhabitants wielding their fairy wands to change them all into chickens. Yeah, that makes much more sense to me.

So what do you think really happened to the dinosaurs? Open the box using the code number zero, four, eight, and find out! You only need to sign the log to claim a find, but we invite you to share in your found-it log your favorite explanation about what you think happened to the dinosaurs.

 

The special stamper inside the container is not swag. It must remain in this letterbox hybrid cache so players of that game can stamp their name.
