When in 1982 Dr. Dan Shechtman looked at a picture his microscope had produced, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Using electron diffraction, he saw a pattern of material with a crystal structure that had never been seen before, one that was considered impossible—patterns that didn’t repeat themselves. “There can be no such creature,” Dr. Shechtman said upon observing this. It questioned a fundamental truth of scie... More...
Scientists have discovered that virtually all fossils found in the Cambrian sediments of the geologic column appear suddenly and are exceptionally preserved. One popular example is the complex, extinct invertebrate called the trilobite, with its thousands of named species.1
[Trilobites are arthropods with paired, jointed appendages and] represent a major part of the great evolutionary mystery... More...
Paleontologists recently discovered the partial fossils of two new species of dinosaur just outside of Casablanca. As stated in a Science Direct article, they “report two new abelisaurid fossils from the upper Maastrichtian phosphates of the Ouled Abdoun Basin, in northern Morocco.”1
The University of Bath, England, press release stated:
Both were part of a fam... More...
Baleen whales (suborder Mysticeti) are amazing filter-feeding mammals of the sea. They belong to a group called the Cetacea. Evolutionists suggest they were mammals that “returned” to the sea about 60 million years ago in search of food. “But there remains intense debate about how and when cetacean ancestors returned fully to the water.”1 Now, new research that throws reptiles into that story will produce ...

A new discovery of a foot-long marine turtle fossil was announced in central Bavaria, southern Germany.1 The species, dubbed Solnhofia parsoni, was unearthed from the famous Solnhofen Limestone, a rock layer that has also produced exquisitely preserved fossil specimens, including all of the specimens of the bird Archaeopteryx.1
Fossils of the turtle Solnhofia parsoni have been fou... More...
