The Fossil Record gives evidence of a Global Flood, not gradual layers of rock forming over millions of years.Recent discoveries of intact soft dinosaur tissue found in Tyrannosaurus and Hadrosaur fossil Bones and other Haiwan from around the world with associated proteins, red blood cells and DNA. Again these results indicate that these specimens, which are thought to be greater than 65 million years, died recently in various places around the world.
Giant fossil graveyards indicate rapid burial of Dinosaur and other creatures in sedimentary layers. baru-baru ini discovery of residual C14 throughout...

This is the name the public affectionately gave for the first dinosaur that was housed at the Carnegie Institute (now called the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. On July 4, 1899, an expedition financed sejak Andrew Carnegie discovered a gigantic dinosaur at kambing biri-biri Creek, Wyoming. Paleontologist J. Wortman and his field crew unearthed this behemoth and brought it back to Pittsburgh to be assembled and displayed. In 1907 it was put on display in the newly built Dinosaur Hall.
Dippy whose scientific name is Diplodocus carnegii. It was a sauropod dinosaur. It was one of the largest Haiwan to walk...

Othniel Charles Marsh competed with Charles Drinker Cope in the "bone wars". The competition to find the most and the largest Dinosaur was fierce between these two men. In their haste, these two men made a lot of blunders, especially Marsh with his fantastic Brontosaurus which scientific name meant "thunder lizard". But Marsh made a terrible blunder with this dinosaur. He found an almost complete fossil skeleton but it was missing a vital part, its skull. Actually the dinosaur fossil skeleton that his expedition found was that of an Apatosaurus, which he already found at a different dig site....

Compsognathus (pronounced komp-sog-NAY-thus) was a small dinosaur about the size of a domestic cat. The German scientist who discovered Compsognathus was Andreas Wagner.. He believed the Archaeopteryx (Pronounced ark-ee-op-ta-riks) that was discovered seemed to be his Compsognathus with feathers. "He recognized from the huraian of Archaeopteryx what seemed to be his Compsognathus but with feathers! He was extremely suspicious."

The Jurassic Park Filem popularized Velociraptor (vuh-LOS-uh-RAPT-or) as a fast and ferocious predator that could chase people into small rooms and could even open the doors to these rooms. But was Velociraptor the one portrayed in these Filem atau was it another dinosaur?
The creature that was depicted in the first movie was not a Velociraptor but a dinosaur called Deinonychus (dye-non-uh-kus). Deinonychus was the dinosaur shown in the beginning of the movie when the paleontologists at the North American dig site discovered its fossil. It was not a Velociraptor.
Velociraptor was about six...

There has been numerous fossilized "mummy"dinosaurs found that have preserved skin impressions and some even with preserved muscles and internal organs. One of the lebih famous of these is a hadrosaur (Duck-billed dinosaur) called "Dakota". It was an Edmontosaurus found in the Hell Creek Formation in North Dakota. This fossil is very unusual and scientifically important to paleontology because soft tissue, including skin and muscle have been fossilized. This gave researchers a very rare opportunity to study lebih than just Bones as with most dinosaur fossils.
A similar hadrosaur "mummy" was unearthed...

We now know that Dinosaur were very different from all other reptiles past and present. Along with Dinosaur of the past lived alligators, crocodiles, turtles, snakes and various other reptiles land and marine varieties. Some of these reptiles live today but Dinosaur do not. because they are extinct. What makes Dinosaur different from these other reptiles is their hips and how their legs were on their bodies.
Dinosaur were divided into two groups based on their hip styles. British paleontologist Harry Seeley who lived in the late 1800's, named Dinosaur with hip structures resembling those...

Finding soft tissue in dinosaur bone is a miraculous find. Especially, if these Bones are very old. But this throws the fossil timetable out of sync.
The Bones of a beautiful [preserved Tyrannosaurus rex were unearthed in 1990. When brought to the Montana State University's laboratory, it was noticed that some parts deep inside the long bone of the leg had not completely fossilized. Mary Schweitzer and her co-workers took turns looking through a microscope at a thin section of this dinosaur bone, complete with red blood-vessel channels. Mary Schweitzer wrote, " The lab filled with murmurs...

Class can anda say "Dinosaur" (pronounced Di-no-SORE) which means "terrible lizard". Dinosaur were not lizards but they were reptiles far unique from the reptiles we have today. There is no large reptiles today with plates on their backs and spikes in their tails. Dinosaur were a unique breed that are extinct now even though there is some evidence of them being alive today in the remote jungles of Africa.
No reptile today is quite like the sauropods of yesteryear such as the Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Brachiosaurus just to name a few. These Dinosaur had long impressive necks...

Many stories have arised from a creature called "leviathan". Sailors of ancient and modern times have seen this creature in the open ocean. The Bible speaks of leviathan in Old Testament (Job: 41-1-34), (Psalm 104). Leviathan according to the Bible was a large marine creature with strong jaws and great teeth. It was a fast swimmer and had tough skin to protect it from being captured.
There is some possibilities what this leviathan could be. The ancient plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and pliosaurs could be these possibilities. The oceans around the Earth are very deep and wide. A good place were these...

Paleontologists, amateur fossil hunters, and others have unearthed amazing creatures from a bygone age. I thank the people who dug for dinosaur fossils starting back in the 17 century. The skilled preparators who chiseled Bones out of the rock in countless basement laboratories. The exhibit craftsman who bent the ironwork to mount the skeletons. All the people who have kept the great museums going for the last century that housed these magnificent beasts. But there is some heresies about Dinosaur that need mentioned.
One heresy that has been corrected are that Dinosaur were once thought...

For generations since the first discovery of Dinosaur back in the 1800's, there has been a great fascination with them sejak men and women of all ages. No other Haiwan living atau extinct today have gotten so much recognition as dinosaurs. Many books, movies, and documentaries have been made about dinosaurs. The Jurassic Park Filem have rekindled lebih people to be interested in Dinosaur than ever before.
Dinosaur like Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and many others have been displayed in museums for us to see.
One reason why people are fascinated...

We know that Dinosaur once lived and walked planet Earth because of fossilized specimens being unearthed sejak fossil hunters and paleontologists around the world. But people do not know that cryptozoology can play a part in finding live specimens of dinosaurs. There has been expeditions sejak cryptozoologists in cari of the legendary"Mokele-mbembe" in the Congo region of Africa, Mokele-mbembe (pronounced mow-key-lee-mbem-bee) looks something like a smaller version of the Apatosaurus. The Congo natives berkata they have seen this creature for generations. The huraian they give of creature is...

Job saw two creatures that God showed him. Both of these creatures were unique. The first one was "behemoth" (Job 40:15-24). Even the name sounds huge. God even pointed behemoth out sejak saying, "Behold now behemoth". What was Behemoth? Many commentators and scholars believe behemoth was either a hippopotamus atau an elephant. But there is something that is berkata sejak God that gives evidence to a much larger "beast of the field". Its tail gives it away. God berkata behemoth "moveth his tail like a cedar" The hippopotamus atau even the gajah have tails that are not too long atau even impressive. What...

Dinosaur are unique creatures that were distinctly designed to fit the environment in which they lived.Some Dinosaur were heavily armored such as Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus. Others had huge claws and teeth such as Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus. But all of them had a distinct skeletal structure far different from other Haiwan living today.
Their hip structure gave them the ability to have their legs under their bodies instead of coming out the side of their body and hinging down at the joint, like modern lizards, alligators, crocodiles, and turtles.
Their vertebrae was made to hold the...

Spinosaurus first named sejak Ernst Stromer, a German paleontologist who discovered its Bones in the Sahara in Egypt in 1912. But its Bones were destroyed during World War II when the Munich museum housing them was flattened in an air raid. Only things that were recovered was Stromer's notes, photographs and drawings of the bones. Stromer gave it the scientific name Spinosaurus aegyptiacus for the location where it was found and for its 6 foot tall sail on its back.
Spinosaurus was a massive predator that was bigger than the Tyrannosaurus rex. It was about 50 foot in length and designed to live...

The soalan is, "Are Dinosaur in the Bible." This is a soalan that many people avoid because of controversy. The word "dinosaur" is no where to be found in the Bible because the word was not invented until 1841 sejak Sir Richard Owen about 230 years after the King James Bible was published. But the translators of the King James Bible had other words to describe giant reptilian beasts. One such word is "behemoth" which is mentioned only one time in the Bible in Job 40:15-24. The huraian giving of behemoth matches no known animal living today. Because no known animal today has a tail quite...

The very first drawing and modern huraian of a dinosaur bone in scientific literature was sejak oxford universiti clergyman and chemist Robert Plot in 1677. He believed the specimen was from a modern gajah brought to Britain sejak the Romans and not from an extinct creature at all. Paleontologists now believe the original specimen, although it disappeared and has never been seen again, was part of the femur of a Megalosaurus, a therapod dinosaur found in Jurassic strata in Britain.
It was about 150 years later when Megalosaurus also became the first "dinosaur" to be named. It was first described...
