Coprolites and Dicynodonts


Why Ancient Poop Fossils Challenge Noah's Flood

11:09 I wonder, why would the coprolites not have been laid down prior to the Flood?

They were deposed on a hill of sediment? Well, they were deposed on a hill of some kind of mudrock, but why would all mudrock be from the Flood and none earlier?

14:30 How volcanic ash gets preserved in a Flood?

Perhaps by mud being deposited over it?

14:51 You have STILL not explained why Flood geology implies this happened after the waters had already started rising.

15:45 Volcano goes off. Ashes are stiffened around the coprolites before the Flood water and mud arrive.

Problem solved.

19:34 Most creatures that died after the Flood didn't get fossilised, like most before it.

Triassic is a biotope of the pre-Flood world.

I've had this contested by other YEC on the supposal that we can't suppose things were deposed in situ, my answer is, sure, a T Rex skeleton could easily have been carried off 500 km, but it wouldn't look as a T Rex skeleton when arriving.

So, when we have an integral T Rex skeleton, it usually is where the T Rex was when it died and was covered in Flood mud.

19:43 Human fossils from the Flood?

Anything covered in volcanic lava and dated by K-Ar rather than carbon is arguably from the Flood. Tautavel man is arguably from the Flood.

Homo sapiens dated to 90 000 BP or 300 000 BP (if that's the latest limit from Morocco), were surprised by the Flood, they weren't buried by men. Hence the lack of cultural attributes.

20:12 "in post-Flood rocks"

Well, duh, how do you count post-Flood here, since YEC between them differ on the limits?

I would certainly count Ice age (one of them, and not to be diagnosed by "glaciation speces") and Younger Dryas as post-Flood, and anything higher, but that's about it.

The rest are pre-Flood biotopes.

21:01 Are there biotopes today with a preference for non-flowering plants? I think both ferns and mosses are non-flowering ...

21:38 "much further down in the fossil record"

It's not about levels of depth below earth surface, it's about abstract "levels" that could as easily be pre-Flood biotopes.

What kind of biotope today would have lots of ferns and gingkos, but no flowering plants?

Well, that's the kind of biotope these fellers lived in (and shat in).

22:17 Yes, you have STILL not explained why they would have been deposited a month after Flood waters started coming, in the Flood geology case.

Sure you are not making a strawman against Flood geology?
