A recent study published in Scientific Reports found strange globs of tree resin (amber) mixed within claimed ancient (Cretaceous) deep-water sediments on Hokkaido Island in northern Japan.1 This is the first reported instance of amber in what’s interpreted as a deep ocean setting.

A recent study published in Geology found that sedimentary rock can form in as little as 35 years.1,2 Before this, conventional geologists thought these types of rocks took vast amounts of time to erode, consolidate, and lithify. What they discovered along the coast of Scotland caused them to quickly change their minds.
Senior author Amanda Owen of the University of Glasgow said,

Recently, University of Kansas paleontologists discovered a fossil of what they think is a “near-marsupial.”1 It is called Swaindelphys and was found in Big Bend National Park, Texas. Conventional scientists interpret Swaindelphys as a large extinct possum.
The two researchers involved in this discovery stated in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology,

An allegedly vital piece of animal evolution was first discovered in 1984 in Scotland. Conventional scientists suggested the fossil of Westlothiana lizziae, a lizard-like reptile, is an example of an early stem tetrapod.
However, due to the fragmentary nature of the W. lizziae fossil, some evolutionists are unsure of Westlothiana’s phylogenetic (evolutionary) position. Regardless, a SciTechDaily a... More...
Two separate research reports arrived at a similar conclusion.1,2 Both found an episode of mysterious erosion had occurred near the end of the Tejas Megasequence. This event likely correlates to the final phase of water draining off the continents during the Flood. It also confirms a late Cenozoic end of the Flood boundary, called the N-Q (Neogene-Quaternary).3,4
In the 1990s, Australian paleontologists discovered fossil frog bones during a dig in Murgon, Queensland.1 This new species of frog—Litoria tylerantiqua—was subjectively dated to be 55 million years old.
Previously, evolutionists had dated the earliest Australian tree frogs from the Oligocene and the Early Miocene, at half that age. But “the discovery of Litoria tylerantiqua suggests tha... More...
