Young boys find T. rex fossil while hiking in North Dakota

Those were bad guys! Great find!

[TribalPrincess2U]

Oh, when will we produce more?

That was a family outing that turned into a fascinating discovery, one the boys won’t forget and will remember with great pleasure.

So different than the two week old story of the single Mom who took her five kids to the beach, where they found and collected over 50 ‘Sea Shells’.

Turns out some of those ‘Sea Shells’ were still occupied with oysters. There is a law against collecting that kind of shell. The Mom got fined big time for their error.

Cool.

Have it on my calendar to visit

When I was that age, EVERY fossil was a T-Rex fossil.

And all I ever found in upstate NY were trilobite fossils. But those were pretty cool, nevertheless.

The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago) and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic before slipping into a long decline, when, during the Devonian, all trilobite orders except the Proetida died out. The last trilobites disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 252 million years ago.

You could hardly avoid finding those little buggers! I never saw another one after moving away from the Finger Lakes.

Imagine a 250 million year run! Sure beats us puny humans.

Upstate NY is wonderful bottom-of-the-sea fossil hunting. Amazing how a mountain top was once an ancient sea floor.

It was also amazing realizing we had a FULL MILE of ice on top of us only 12,000 years ago and we could still see the striations cut by the glaciers on the rocks around Cayuga Lake.

[ViLaLuz]

Was it a mile thick? That is amazing. Around central NY there are still many salt water deposits left behind by the ocean.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I think that ice sheet was over a mile thick there.

We bought a north Idaho place six years ago and there is great geological history there, too. The Laurentide Ice Sheet was also a mile thick there!

There are huge salt mines (were?) under Cayuga Lake. Also under Lake Erie (or near there).

Thanks for the ping.

Those were bad guys! Great find!

[juvenile delinquent wrecks] I need TV when I've got T-Rex?

[ViLaLuz]

Amazing!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Isn’t it? Just think — ALL of Canada was covered in ice!

And those orange coastal strips on the map are land that was exposed because the ocean levels were 400 feet lower than today. All that water was stored in the great ice sheets.

At the end of the ice age, huge ice dams formed where Montana is today holding back the enormous glacial Lake Missoula which had half the water volume of Lake Michigan. Over 1,000 years, the dam failed and re-formed many times unleashing massive floods across the inland northwest. The evidence of that is all over Montana, Idaho, and Washington.

Or fancy stories and colored pictures designed to make you doubt the Bible and common sense.

These same ‘experts’ are now bringing us climate change.

Did you know there are many more young ages (6k years) natural clocks? Did you know that all DNA deteriorates, and the rate of accumulated DNA negative mutations only allow for any/all carbon based life-forms (reproduction no longer viable) of less than 20k years.

Give me a break - millions of years?! Really? No wait billions or years - or just lying cheating ‘experts’ making many math errors and overlooking all contradictory evidence.

There’s plenty of evidence for those willing to do their own research - most start out as genius level IQ - until public schools get finished with you.

Are you saying I doubt the Bible or believe in man-made climate change? Neither of those apply to me, at all. I’m certainly against the indoctrination in public schools promoting false religion. Let it be clear I’m certainly against false religious cults. My faith is in Lord Jesus Christ alone; Holy Father God who created the whole universe and the science inherent within it.
