#43, A Triassic Redbed quarry in Culpepper, Va. has scores, if not hundreds of dinosaur tracks on one level (that was the ground level many years ago.

You could see the dinosaurs that walked together mixed with those that crossed their paths.

These redbeds are in the northern/western part of the state beginning around Loudon County but the formations seem to go from NE to SW. Hopefully other formations will be discovered.

A few dinosaur footprints have been found in the Arlington, Va. area which is mainly Cretaceous but in some places overlain by a Paleocene layer with many species of sharks, fish, Ammonoids, etc. A dinosaur phalange was found in the Central Avenue/Landover, Md. whle others were found in Laurel, Md. including the hip bone of the largest dinosaur found on the East Coast.

[Then Ray Kroc founded McDonald’s and that was the end of them].

And there is claims that they have found C14 in remains.

So either claims about carbon dating are awry or the remains, “dated” by geologic strata which all is rooted in assumptions (guessing), aren’t that old.

Interesting.

I was telling a co-worker just today about the book of Job. He lost two of his children in two separate car accidents. He is looking for answers.

I didn’t say anything was this or that, only that something may be hinkey.

As for being full of it, hello: “Standup Philosopher”?

Aside: it took an amendment to the Constitution to tax income ... why didn’t it take one to levy a tax on not obeying a Rule or Regulation, a sort of imposition normally called a “fine” (for which there must be due process)? I wonder what Justice Roberts would think about that?

leaving their heavy tracks in the wet sands of a river delta

And then it never rained again?

Animals leave footprints in the ground all the time here, and a day or two later you would never know they had been there.

There is a subtle difference between the image of an known imaginary creature and a possible image of a known actual creature.

But, hey, they say the trilobite that got stepped on by a shoe isn’t what it seems to be either.

Nor the spark plug like object in the geode.

Nor the London Hammer.

“There is a subtle difference between the image of an known imaginary creature and a possible image of a known actual creature.”

Since no one now knows what the dinosaurs actually looked like your statement is nonsense.

And again you’d be wrong.

While we do have a few patches of fossilized hide, giving a sense of texture and occasionally some chemical hints at likely coloration, so you might say we don’t know what their specific coloration was like, we DO have reasonable ideas about how their muscles and therefore their bodies would have looked with flesh stil, on them.

And the carving you are fussing against gets pretty darn close to that.
