Construction workers in California's Santa Cruz mountains were subject to a surprise delay last week when a team of archaeologists took over the site to remove an ancient whale fossil.
The project site was expected to have a high potential for archaeological finds, so a monitor was assigned to the Scotts Valley development and found the fossil amid construction vehicles on Sept. 4.
This project site is not the only one in California with fossils
...
Since the 19th century, paleontologists have been studying the “Sharktooth Hill Bone Bed” near Bakersfield, California, where fossils and bones of ancient whales, seals, dolphins, sharks, and fish have been uncovered.
...
At 25 feet long, the archaeologists assigned to the project believe the remains belong to a mysticete whale, an ancient ancestor of the baleen whale.

Aquatic teeth just laying around loose near the surface? Yeah, something doesn’t sound right there.
If it was uplift, stuff that was loose on the surface (including the sand itself) should have rolled right down to lower elevations).
It’s a neat animation, but the problems associated with the physics of that idea are completely insurmountable.
Not sandstone, sand.
That loose surface sand may simply be erosional sediments from underlying sandstone (bedrock). Such sediment is called regolith. The surfaces of the moon and mars is covered in it.
Yes... Old Testament... Talks of YHWH 'heaping up the waters in storehouses'... I'll try to find it... probably Job or Psalms...
Duh - obviously whales can fly.
This may be the passage you are thinking of roamer:
Psalm 33:7
He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
Here are some other relevant passages:
Genesis 1:6-8
Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.
The firmament mentioned above is the first heaven, which is the sky. Second heaven is outer space. Third heaven is the heaven of heavens which is where God’s throne is. Clearly, at creation God placed water above the atmosphere.
Genesis 2:5
before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;
Genesis 7:11
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 8:22
While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease.
The passage above shows the seasons began at the flood. Other things changed such as granting people to eat meat for food, instituting the death penalty for murder, and the shortening of the natural human life span.
2 Peter 3:5-6
For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.
The expression “out of the water and in the water” above refers to the earth having oceans and seas (and also before the flood something called the “great deep”) and a mass of water above the earth (i.e. above the atmosphere.
Because hippies secretly carry beached whales up there for pagan BBQs.
One of my favorite quotes, but I cant’d credit where I heard it...INaccurate assumptions based on INcomplete inforation.
Same applies to almost anything the Dems propose.
pretty much...
Psalm 33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses.
Yup... That's the one... Sure sounds like a lot of ice to me : )
Sorry I couldn't find it for you, but I am running around with my netbook, which I just loaded Linux Mint onto this weekend, and I haven't yet loaded a Bible on it...
Here are some other relevant passages:
Certainly relevant, but not necessarily effecting the interpretation I see in Ps 33... Of course, one solitary verse is not necessarily enough to define a thing. But there are some which do so - 'He sits above the curve of the earth' comes to mind in defining the earth as being either round, or a disk... And 'He turns the earth upside down' describing pole shift... Dunno, but I put such things in my pocket...

I am aware of that theory, but I don't know it to be true (I worry about exegesis)... I very much do believe the flood, and the method by which the flood occurred, created a substantial change in environment compared to antediluvian times, and in that, your proposition is a viable candidate.
Hey,
Got a shark tooth on the path to the front door.
Don’t want anything to do with a whale, specially fresh.
North Sunday...
D.
Be safe!
Erosion of previously covered layer after the uplift.
You have to think in terms of geological time frames.
What am I missing here?
You're missing that some take their own ignorance of plate tectonics as proof of a young earth creation account.
Just checking. I thought I missed something I should have learned back in High School, LOL!
You know, back when they TAUGHT us real world stuff versus telling us we’re all gay, that America SUCKS and how to put a condom on a banana.
*Rolleyes*
If it was erosion, why didn’t the water or wind carry the sand away? Seems unlikely to me.
