“The Radioassic Age, of which we are just beginning to understand, is a geological era believed to have occured between the end of the Cretaceous period and the beginning of the Paleogene.

While this era, and fossils from it are still being investigated, what we do know has sent shockwaves through the world of paleontology: essentially, the dinosaurs did not go extinct after the Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction and the Chicxulub impact. Yes, there was a great dying off and some species never recovered. But some survived and adapted to this environment.

Essentially, for a hundred thousand or maybe even a few thousands years but not reaching a million years, there was one last great reign of the dinosaurs after the KT Impact.

Species across the world adapted to the new, likely highly radioactive and volcanic environment. Among these species were large pterosaurs, incorporating magma into their scales and even their flesh. Others, like the tyrannosaurs, survived and adapted to not only become highly resistant to radiation and other forms of energy, but to feed on it in some capacity. Both of these species are believed to be the have evolved over later generations into the Rodan and Godzillasurus races. Other notable new dinosaurs include the Angilasaur, an omnivorous variant of ankylosaur, one with a high resistance to the high and low temperatures that fluctuated around the globe during this time period. Another creature is the Titanosaurus Mafune species, which incorporated traits of both sauropods and spinosaurs to live a highly aquatic lifestyle, far beneath the sea.

[REDACTED FOR BREVITY]
-The first decades of the era were likely something out of an old stop motion movie, with the surviving dinosaurs battling each other and adapting in an blackened wasteland filled with ashen rain and rivers of lava. But as time went on, the dinosaurs adapted more and more to their environment, they weren’t alone in these changes. Another important change was in plant life.

After years of the world looking like an inferno, the vegetation began to absorb radiation like a sponge, using it in the vein of sunlight. For the rest of the Radioassic, the world flourished once more under the radiation, a feat that will possibly take more then decades for us to understand.

Great jungles and forests sprung up, providing food sources for the adapted herbivores, and the old and new carnivorous species that adapted. If you were to take a time machine and go the middle of this era, you would think the meteor had not impacted at all.

New species like the Shockirus louse, mistaken as a resurgent trilobite in 1954 by Kyohei Yamane, also came in to feed on the radiation resistant blood of aquatic creatures such as the Godzillasaurs.

Of course, the dinosaurs still disappeared with a few massive exceptions, but far later than previously expected.

So what happened?

The Graham Hypothesis states that radiation levels began to recede in the last years of the era, resulting in a large majority of megafauna heading deep beneath the earth to feed on or live in the radiation they had become dependant on near the core. Some of today's modern kaiju may indeed be remnants of this time who stayed close enough to the surface to be reawakened by the turbulence of the modern era.

Another school of thought believes that an extraterrestrial force caused the end of the Radioassic. It could have been something simple like an alien bacteria, or it could have been something far more dramatic, like a massive space faring predator or group of predators.

While the idea may sound over the top, the discovery of Taligon and the incursions of 1975 and 1987 prove that megafauna with the capacity of intergalactic travel are a very real threat.

Further adding to this alarmingly plausible theory is the recent investigation into the impact crater found in the North Pole, along with a prominent “Three armed Devil” from Muan and Infant Island theology-”
