Palaeontological Evidence(continued)

"The Bible excludes the possibility of a mere fortuitous combination of natural geologic causes here, for we are told that this involved, 'all the fountains of the great deep' and that they were all broken up 'on the same day', namely the seventeenth day of the second month .... this uplift of ocean basins, accompanied by enormous explosions of suboceanic and subterranean magmas and steam, together with the corresponding sinking of continents, continued for six weeks until the flood attained its maximum, mountain-covering depth (7:20) and this depth was maintained for another 110 days until the waters had destroyed every living thing on the continents .... 'And the rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.' This can refer to nothing less than the collapse of a stupendous transparent vapour canopy that existed only during the antediluvian period, for it required six weeks for this water to pour down on the earth." - Dr. John Whitcomb - The World that Perished p.35-36
             In the late thirties of the 19th century, geologist Hugh Miller made a special study of the Old Red Sandstone which covers the northern half of Scotland. "In the red sandstone an aquatic fauna is embedded. The animals are in disturbed positions .... strewed thick with the remains which exhibit unequivocally the marks of violent death. The figures are contorted, contracted, curved; the tail in many instances bent around to the head .... the fins are spread to the full, as in fish that die in convulsions .... what agency of destruction could have accounted for innumerable existences of an area perhaps ten thousand square miles in extent being annihilated at once?"     Immanuel Velikovsy: Earth in Upheaval p.27-28
"The Gobi Desert of Central Asia ... is a paradise for palaeontologists. Its eroding terrain exposes nearly complete skeletons of creatures hitherto known only through painstaking reconstructions from a few scattered bones. Our expeditions ... have excavated dinosaurs, lizards and small mammals in an unprecedented state of preservation. Freshly exposed skeletons sometimes look more like the recent remains of a carcass than like an 80-million-year-old fossil ... Among them are 25 skeletons of theropod dinosaurs ... We also gathered an unprecedentedly rich collection of small vertebrates: more than 200 skulls of mammals many with their associated skeletons - and an even greater number of lizard skulls and skeletons."

"One of the most remarkable examples of preservation of organic tissues in antiseptic swamp waters is a 'fossil graveyard' in Eocene lignite deposits of the Geiseltal in central Germany … More than six thousand remains of vertebrate animals and a great number of insects, molluscs, and plants were found in these deposits. The compressed remains of soft tissues of many of these animals showed details of cellular structure ... The stomach contents of beetles, amphibia, fishes, birds, and mammals provided direct evidence about eating habits."

Vanishing Wildlife

"The Siwalik Hills are the foothills of the Himalayas, north of Delhi; they extend for several hundred miles and are 2000 to 3000 feet high … unusually rich fossil beds … Animal bones of species and genera, living and extinct, were found there in most amazing profusion ....The carapace (shell) of a tortoise twenty feet long was found there … The hippopotamus … pigs, rhinoceroses, apes, oxen filled the interior of the hills almost to bursting." Immanuel Velikovsy: Earth in Upheaval p.76-77

Mammoth Find
"One of the most remarkable geological sights I have ever seen was at Mikulov in Czechoslovakia where an excavation in Danubian loess shows the remains of literally dozens of mammoths." Derek Ager The New Catastrophism (1993), p.52
