You have no idea how empiricism actually works, huh? Listen here and listen good: in the case of the end-K ammonites there's no need to *reproduce* those conditions experimentally, because the data being gathered are FROM the actual (natural) experiment.

You perform an experiment in the lab. Before collecting the data, you formulate null and alternative hypotheses and make a prediction based on the experimental conditions. THEN you collect your data and test the hypotheses. The only difference is that the experimental procedure ran 66 Ma.
