* 432 Mammal Species in Dinosaur Layers: Dr. Carl Werner's research of the world's leading museums presents amazing findings. Did you know that mammals ate dinosaurs? Co-hosts Fred Williams and Bob Enyart discuss Don Batten's interview of Dr. Werner and the how museums downplay the 432 mammal species excavated by paleontologists from dinosaur layers. Fred is with the Creation Research Society, and on this episode of Real Science Radio the guys again draw from both the latest issue of Creation magazine, April - June 2011 and the Winter 2011 CRSQ Creation Research Society Quarterly.
* Dinosaurs ATE Birds :) In a related development, another dinosaur has been discovered with birds in its stomach, which is certainly interesting considering the claim that dinosaurs evolved into birds (like from Jack Horner).
* Mammals ATE Dinosaurs :) See below.
* 2015 UPDATE Now 433 Mammal Species in Dinosaur Layers: An 5-inch fossil skull excavated on Madagascar resembles that of a modern groundhog, only double the size. See this in the Spring 2015 Creation magazine and at the National Science Foundation's website.
* Dinosaurs Co-existed with Mammals: For additional perspective on our interview with Dr. Werner, from the 2013 Spring CRSQ, "even though evolutionists have grudgingly accepted mammalian and dinosaurian co-existence in recent years, they have not always done so" (Robert Brown, Otis Kline, et al. 2013. A Partial Mandible in the Stomach Contents of a Tyrannosaurus rex. CRSQ 49(4):265-280). RSR friend Kline and his co-authors also wrote that, "The [mammal prey] evidence, which revealed itself so quickly in this study, suggests that a biblical starting point would have advanced dinosaurian knowledge by decades."
* Mammal Species in Dino Layers Downplayed: From Dr. Batten's great interview of Carl Werner: "Paleontologists have found 432 mammal species in the dinosaur layers; almost as many as the number of dinosaur species. … But where are these fossils? We visited 60 museums but did not see a single complete mammal skeleton from the dinosaur layers displayed at any of these museums. This is amazing." See this documented in Dr. Carl Werner's tremendous DVD, Living Fossils!
* Evolutionary Paleontologist Describes Mammals Everywhere: “We find mammals in almost all of our [dinosaur dig] sites. These were not noticed years ago," said Dr. Donald Burge, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Prehistoric Museum of Price, Utah. Great quantities of hard data that don't fit the evolutionary bias can be almost invisible to the entire scientific community, as for example countless countradictory "radiometric" dates and galaxies worth of evidence against the big bang. "We have about 20,000 pounds of bentonite clay," continued Burge, "that has mammal fossils that we are trying to give away to some researcher. It’s not that they are not important. It’s just that you only live once and I specialized in something other than mammals. I specialize in reptiles and dinosaurs." That's not surprising. Specializing in Jurassic-layer mammal fossils would not exactly help a Darwinist's career! See rsr.org/slaughter.
* Mammals ATE Dinosaurs: Of course. Evolutionists are not surprised that
crocodiles ate dinosaurs. But that they ate birds (see above) challenges their birds-from-dinosaurs claim. And paleontology's "age of the reptiles" narrative leaves them needing to "revolutionize" their thinking when they realized, as reported in the journal Nature and in National Geographic, that
mammals ate dinosaur. (See excerpts
below including that while dinosaurs roamed, mammals were much bigger (of course) than the rodent-size claimed for them.
* Dinosaurs ATE Rice: Even though the Darwinist model claims that rice evolved millions of years later, paleontologists studying fossilized dung (coprolite) discovered that Titanosaurs ate rice plants! See in the journal
Science Dinosaur Coprolites and the Early Evolution of Grasses. (We added the italics there and note that this "early" means millions of years early!) And and you may especially enjoy the article
by Brian Thomas over at the Institute for Creation Research,
Dinosaurs Ate Rice.
* See Online Carl Werner's List of Living Fossils: Dr. Werner's List of Living Fossils was put online by RSR with the help of ICR's Brian Thomas. While Wikipedia's list of these "Lazarus" fossils is helpful, Carl's list is even more valuable because it records which layer or layers (i.e., "periods" or systems), the Triassic, Jurrasic, or Creataceous, that a fossil was excavated from. Our online list is nothing but text, whereas Dr. Werner's DVD has the highest production value and his hardcovered Living Fossils work is as beautiful as any coffee table book. Both the DVD and the book are filled with stunning photographs documenting the fossils and the living organisms. RSR highly recommends both of these valuable resources! You can purchase the beautiful Living Fossils book and DVD by clicking those links!
* The Pygmy Whale Living Fossil: In case you're interested, yet another living fossil was discovered, the Pygmy Whale, a member of "a group thought to have gone extinct 2 million years ago." This LiveScience article is also interesting for its acknowledgement of the extremely flexible methodology evolutionists use to try to show common descent. For example, note how Darwinists could select from DNA, or the shape of the snout, or to general similarities in the fossil record, or specifically to the skull, to make a claim of what evolved from what.
