I think it would be great to put together a field trip to China to tour a lot of these fossil sites. Anyone game to look at the possibility?

Sadly, Chinese dissidents will become the fossilized remains for future study.

In other words, they've found evidence of a massive catastrophe, want to say it's volcanic but can't presume to explain the basalts and silting with a far away volcanic blast, and another set of theories has run aground on evidence that mucks up their postulations causing them to run about formulating new baseless theories to fill in where the old unproven theories used to be. The house of cards shifts and wiggles while they prop it up again and people are supposed to have confidence in these people who keep blabbing on about an ever changing pack of unproven theories. It's no wonder people want intelligent design, creationism and other alternatives taught. No confidence in paid hacks that couldn't identify a road if they were driving on it..

“The fossil-bearing tuffs at this locality lack obvious bedding planes, suggesting that this deposit resulted from a single, catastrophic mass mortality event.”

In addition, from their map, the catastrophe apparently occurred over a vast area. The Yixiang and Jiufotang formations cover half of China, southern Japan, all of Korea, and most of Mongolia.

What a remarkable opportunity to see a snapshot of life as it existed at one short period of time over 100 mya.

The size of the formation is quite large for an single explosive volcanic event there should be evidence in other parts of the world of such an event.

they also found the evolutionary link between primates and humans but they don't publicize it because it might upset some with religeous mythology that refutes that possibility

Famous dinosaurs found in the area include ......ankylosaurs...

Wow, Hillary sure got around!!

Earlier epochs were much richer in species diversity. By comparison, our world is impoverished.

And the evidence for this is?
