A Jurassic graveyard in Patagonia, Argentina, holds more than 100 fossilized eggs and the bones of 80 Mussaurus patagonicus dinosaurs ranging in age from hatchling to adult. The trove of dinosaur remains suggests that these paleo-beasts lived in herds as early as 192 million years ago, a new study finds.

Rise of Higher Insects and Birds

Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you, And the cedars of Lebanon, Saying, ‘Since you were cut down, No woodsman has come up against us.’

(Isaiah 14:8) NKJV

Rise of higher insects and birds” is an example of Paleodoublespeak. Jurassic sediment contains the preserved remains of dead insects and birds. That’s not evidence of their rise. It’s evidence of their extinction.

Highly Similar Plant Communities

And the bramble said to the trees, ‘If in truth you anoint me as king over you, Then come and take shelter in my shade; But if not, let fire come out of the bramble And devour the cedars of Lebanon!’

(Judges 9:15) NKJV

Statements that the Earth had a uniform equable climate during geological periods are a little misleading. Sediments are assigned to periods based on their flora and fauna, so it’s just a little microcosm of circular reasoning.

Uniform, Mild Climates

He produced manuals on botany, describing every kind of plant, from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows on walls. He also produced manuals on biology, describing animals, birds, insects, and fish.

(1 Kings 4:33) NET Bible

The Triassic marks a return to the format which we saw repeatedly for the periods of the Paleozoic era. We know that these sediments were deposited during the deluge phase of Noah’s flood because of the climate statement.

Jurassic

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

(Psalms 104:16-17) KJV

We’re continuing our leisurely stroll through the periods of geological time, lead by our guide Wilson N. Stewart. We find once again that the period is question is really a collection of geographic locations where similar plant and animal communities, an ecosystem, occurs. The real similarity is the aspect and elevation of the original geography.
