Robert sent in the link to https://crev.info/2025/05/dinosaur-bonebed-alberta/ … which is a different slant to my post on this last week. A huge dinosaur graveyard has been found in Canada. Evidence of a mass kill off event. We are told herds of dinosaurs, year after year, went to the same watering hole – and were repeatedly buried by flash flood after flash flood. I’m not sure the actual article is being cited here but probably includes earlier missives of explanation as they go on to mention the Old Red Sandstone beds of the Devonian Period containing entire shoals of fossilised fish. Robert adds to the confusion by saying the events can easily be explained by cataclysm. A terrestrial area that was overwhelmed by a huge tsunami wave.
The BBC reported on 19th May [2025] on the solution to the mystery of a dinosaur mass grave at ‘the river of death‘ in which thousands of large dinosaurs perished. Their bones were packed densely together and are preserved in rocks that stretch over an area of at least a kilometre – or several km, once the excavations continue. The link reads – thousands of dinosaurs were buried here, killed in an instant on a day of utter devastation. Most of them were related to Triceratops. There are up to 300 bones in every square metre of rock [and the rock itself represents the sediments in which they were buried].
Paleontologists have solved it according to the BBC – and other media sources. They said, we believe there was a herd on a seasonal migration that got tangled up in a catastrophic event. So far so good. All the evidence suggests it was a flash flood – a storm that sent an unstoppable torrent of water towards the herd, ripping trees from the roots and shifting boulders. This did not convince CREV. They are convinced it is evidence of Noah’s Flood. However, they are quite right to question the interpretation. Severe storms can cause a lot of problems – shifting sediments, especially downhill, and rocks and boulders too. However, the dimensions of this particular storm appear too immense to be attributed to such a storm as it was so devastating it overwhelmed an entire herd of animals and buried them in an instant. If it had anything to do with a flood, even one that lasted a mere 40 days and 40 nights, the burial would not have been instantaneous. They would have been drowned and their bones distributed over an area rather than tangled into a mass of disarticulated bones, welded closely together – as they were. In that sense, the mainstream explanation makes sense. However, it is the scale of the event that one must ponder. It is dated fairly late in the Cretaceous Period – coinciding with the demise of the dinosaurs. It is actually the evidence of how they died, or one way in which they died. It is only the uniformitarian dating of the Cretaceous sediments that disputes this idea. If dinosaurs could be buried quickly one can suppose there were a lot of sediments also created at the same time. Very quickly. Forming what beame rock layers that uniformitarian geology has spaced out over a long period of time. Similar dinosaur bone beds are known from Wyoming and Alaska – and elsewhere in the world. China, for example., and Patagonia. Where did all the dinosaurs go. A lot of them can be found in bones beds in numerous locations. However, these are the graveyards formed mostly by the power of water. Water on the move. Lots of it. Oceans spilling over the land. How can that happen? The asteroid strike. The asteroid actually broke apart into several segments, striking the oceans at different locations – such as Mexico, or the Gulf of Guinea. In this instance water from the Arctic Ocean, or Pacific, and water from what is now the Caribbean, or Atlantic, became massive tsunami waves that swept across North America – and most likely other locations around the world [not nvesigated as yet].
