Another chapter in a very contentious subject both within paleontology and biology and between science and some aspects of faith. It is long and a little geeky but worth a trip to the source and a leisurely read. Like that's likely to happen.

Perhaps the fossils are 6,500 years old, not 65 million?

a 65 million year old fossil

Or, treating assumptions as facts. The global warming worshipers are just carrying on a long scientific tradition.

That's not possible because phyletic evolution or punctuated equilibria couldn't happen in such a short time.

“As ancient astronaut theorists believe”.

I always chuckle at that made-up job description. I guess they figure it implies legitimacy.

Twenty years ago Mary Schweitzer found herself the closest that anyone has ever been to a living dinosaur.

Lazamataz hates people who write about themselves in the third person.

My late mom bought me these same pics as postcards on one of our trips to the Museum of Natural History in New York City. Talking about the 1960s here! It was really nice coming across these images on the internet a year or so ago. Brought back some wonderful memories.

Interestingly, much of how the dinos are depicted here has turned out to be incorrect. ie, large sauropods in swamps, dino tails dragging, upright position of the T-Rex type carnivorous (Allosaurus in this case)...
