Tooth growth patterns in fossils of the mouse-like Jurassic mammal Krusatodon show that it grew slowly and had a “surprisingly long” lifespan compared to mammals of similar size today.1 A paper in Nature describes two “exceptionally complete” Krusatodon specimens, one an adult and the other a juvenile, that were found on Scotland’s Isle of Skye.2 The fossils are dated ...

Analysis of cut marks on Ice Age bones of a large armadillo-like glyptodont from Argentina suggests that humans killed and used these creatures for food.1,2 The cut marks belonged to fossil remains of a glyptodont in the genus Neosclerocalyptus that was discovered on the banks of the Reconquista River in eastern Argentina. By old-age reckoning, these bones are more than 20,000 years old. The cut marks were consistent with ... More...
There’s nothing more fascinating in the evening sky than the erratic flight of what looks like a bird but is actually a ravenous, feeding bat. Using their amazing sonar,1 they effortlessly capture their fill of insects in the dark.
The evolutionary explanation for bat origins is nonexistent. The fossil record contains no fossils documenting a non-bat ancestor becoming a bat. Paleontologists find only complete and... More...
Entomologists have long been involved in the rewarding field of butterfly research. Recent Lepidopteran discoveries have been incredible and have nothing to do with real, vertical evolution.1–3
Now, artificial intelligence (machine learning or ML) is being utilized to determine visual differences between sexes of birdwing butterflies of Australasia and Southeast Asia.4

Ankylosaurs are herbivorous dinosaurs found in flood rocks. They are classified in the reptilian order of Ornithischia or “bird-hipped” (having a hip design with ischium and pubis bones lying parallel and next to each other).
Their design is unique, with large and small bony shields (bony osteoderms) embedded in their skin and covering their sides and back. The small skulls have fused bony shields attached to the unde... More...
The effects of the Genesis Flood are seen worldwide with deposits of terrestrial animals, such as dinosaurs and many other kinds of animals, often mixed together with marine animals.1–3
Recently, an evolutionary story was published about ancient life along the coasts during the alleged “Age of Dinosaurs.” It included a new crocodilian animal unearthed from sediments in Nevada.4

The phylum Arthropoda is the largest animal phylum on the planet. These animals are designed with paired, jointed appendages and a chitinous exoskeleton. ICR’s Dr. Tim Clarey stated,
Arthropods represent a major part of the great evolutionary mystery called the Cambrian Explosion. In fact, they are one of the most common fossils in Cambrian system strata. They appear in the rock layers fully forme... More...
