BREAKING NEWS: Fossilized snapshot of mass death found on North Dakota ranch
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Intrigued, DePalma kept digging, and found a dazzling assortment of fossils, very delicate yet wonderfully preserved. He found a jumble of wood, cypress tree bundles, tree trunks coated with amber and fish, all entombed together in muddy sediment that hardened over the eons into mudstone.
DePalma’s field assistant, Rudy Pascucci, was with him as he began to tease out the story the tangled fossils told.
Oddly, he realized that he found both freshwater and saltwater fish species in the layer of earth he was examining. As he continued to work the site, DePalma concluded that he would be able to safely remove complete fish if he did so painstakingly.

What we have apparently discovered is a layer of fossils comprised of both salt water and fresh water fish, trees and fauna which washed up on shore from both fresh water and later salt water tsunamis
possibly caused by the asteroid strike which is believed to be the source of the K-T line which corresponds with the end of the age of the dinosaurs, 65 to 70 million years ago.

A nice coincidence that we were conversing in another thread a few days ago
about the age of the earth according to the YEC's
as opposed to scientific observations and measurements.
The associated picture shows the K-T line clearly, and it can be found worldwide...
any thumper worth their salt would tell you that KT line is really the high watermark of the great flood and any dinosaur tracks found above it prove they were on the ark, as dino eggs, that would hatch within a few months of the ark making landfall.
Solar powered refrigerators & incubators?
a mated pair of every type of fowl, all letting maternal instinct overrule the intellectual concept of mass, and a few dozen really big nests. work with me. I think I've worked out a few believable solutions for some sticky issues that Ken Ham can put on answers in genesis. I borrowed the idea from GoT as I prepare for it's return to TV.
That reminds me...Mr Giggles needs to order HBO for the next 3 months
Cool.
That's about as intelligent as I'm going to get
Excellent article, I love this stuff.
I try but without knife wielding preachers or voter kissing politicians, articles like these fall off the front page in a matter of hours.
Even the progress of Boeing's MAX fix is old news.
Like China sneaking up on us in every way possible, with very few noticing...
Sadly that is the truth.
That is an excellent example of ''head in the sand'' or not caring because we are the greatest country on earth and nothing could go wrong or change that....
This is so fascinating. They have found glass balls in the fish gills - they think the fish might have died within minutes or hours of the asteroid strike. It's like going back in time and seeing the end of the Cretaceous era!
Too bad this won't change any of the young earthers' minds ... they'll claim it's proof of Noah's Ark.
I never even considered that. That's why I read the smart people like you.
Well, I read an article about this on livescience.com the other day which said that - that's how I knew
From the report, here is a picture of samples of the glass balls, many of which appear to have tails, presumably from the force of ejections at incredible speeds.
So....if an hydrogen bomb were to explode, would we expect to see glass balls in the eyes of living organisms in the vicinity of the blast?
Not necessarily. Especially in a detonation in the air, but definitely from surface and underground tests.
The asteroid, or remnants of it are presumed to be at least 6 miles down from the surface and it is believed to have punched through the crust into magma.
They are currently exploring a ring of pink granite on the floor of the Caribbean ( 2000 feet down) which they believe was pushed up from a layer of magma
and forms the ring of the crater, dubbed the Chicxulub crater.
I think these fish were something like 2000 miles away. Anything in the blast vicinity would likely be vaporized. In this case, apparently the glass balls were in the water and the fish breathed them into their gills.
holy shit!
well we can't be absolutely sure, but his theory is that there was an inland fresh water ocean in the heartland
The initial impact caused a seismic wave that went completely around the world liquefying soils as it went.
This caused a tsunami in the inland ocean to deposit trees and fresh water fish, unknown miles away in Bowman MT.
The impact in the Caribbean also created a tsunami there which according to this map from his paper, flooded the great plains depositing saltwater fishes on top of the fresh water fishes and flooding the Gulf shores, Florida and the east coast.
This stuff is so fascinating. Do you read livescience.com? That's one of my favorite websites.
Very cool fine, SP. I love this kind of stuff since I did start my college career as an anthro major.
