A Giant, 47 million-year-old snake fossils pulled from mine in India may be the largest snake ever, potentially surpassing Titanoboa by around 15 feet. The newfound snake was much longer than any living snake, including this green anaconda. 

“Scientists in India have discovered the fossilized remains of an ancient snake that may be the largest known serpent to ever live.”

The supersized serpent may have measured 15 meters or 50 feet  long — surpassing the current record-holder Titanoboa by around 2 meters or 6.5 feet, .

“The newly identified species, named Vasuki Indicus, takes its genus name from the mythical king of serpents in Hinduism, which is often depicted wrapped around the neck of one of Hinduism's main deities, Shiva.”

Scientists believe that the fossil is 47 million years old and it is a fully grown adult.

“V. indicus belongs to a group of snakes known as Madtsoiidae, which first appeared in the late Cretaceous period (100.5 million to 66 million years ago), in South America, Africa, India, Australia and Southern Europe.”

Evolutionists posit grave danger in dating methods

Millions of years is a touchy topic. Scientist evaluated the Ontong Java Plateau was formed during the Cretaceous Period.   

Evolution believing scientist think that it erupted 128 to 120 million years ago. 

However, Davidson et al. measured high-precision ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar ages that date it to a later time: 117 to 108 million years ago.

So, evolutionists have a problem with millions of years.

Evolutionists believe that some75 millions years agoa75 millions uears ago, Antarctica had fires, they believe that this took place when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth . 

According to a new study, published online Occtober  20 in the journal Polar Research finds. that Antarctica's James Ross Island was home to a temperate forest of conifers, ferns and flowering plants known as angiosperms, as well as to a slew of dinosaurs. But it wasn't a total paradise; ancient paleo-fires burned parts of those forests to a crisp, leaving behind charcoal remnants that scientists have now scooped up and studied.

They say that this happened during the late Cretaceous period (100 million to 66 million years ago), one of the warmest periods on Earth,

This study study brings to mind Noah’s Flood that ravaged the Earth 4,500 years ago. Before that, Antartica was probably  non existen. 

But they have found dinosaur bones in Canada as well as petrified forest in Antartica.

Paleontologists in Madagascar recently discovered an exceptionally well-preserved fossil of a new and extinct species of turtle, dating back to the late Cretacoeus period, which according to evolution, began some 100 million years ago. . .

The turtle was called  Sahonachelys mailakavava, which means "quick-mouthed frog turtle" in Malagasy.

Researchers say that the turtle is  an example of convergent evolution as it resembles another turtle of a different group.

Largest Dinosaur Found

Evolution believing scientist have found the largest dinosaurs ever. Found in 2012, in Neuquén Province of northwest Patagonia, but have still not been fully excavated that is until now. It is probably a titanosaur, possibly the largest one on record. Titanosaurs were amongst the largest sauropods — long-necked, plant-eating giant dinos — and lived from the late Jurassic period (163.5 million to 145 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago).

 

Scientist claim the discovery hails from 98 million years ago, meaning the creature lived during the Cretaceous period.

 

Now, how could such a dinosaur fit into Noah’s ark. Dinosaurs grew very fast during puberty. It is supposed that God only took the ones approaching puberty on board the vessel. They could then repopulate the world.
