The Cambrian fossil  Protomelission  may actually be a seaweed. Scientist thought that 515-million-year-old fossil may actually be a seaweed and not a not a bryozoan.  

It is quite hard to find the years a fosill with years marked on it.  Some of them were made in Noah's Flood when the Earth was subdued with water.

Some scientist say that the asteroid slammed into  earth some 66 million years ago and brought – according to evolution, the ageof the dinosaurs to a close, may have left an immaculately preserved dinosaur leg in in North Dakota

They think that the fossil is a  dinosaur leg belongs to Thescelosaurus, an herbivorous dinoisaur whose name means "wonderful lizard" in ancient Greek. 

According to evolution, it is also possible that the theselosaurus and other animals died days or years before the impact. 

But judging from a creations aspect, the dinosaur probably died in the flood of Noah days.

Old Squid Relative Takes Lunch But Then Something Happens

“A squid relative went fishing, but never got to eat its prey.” It probably got attacked by the Flood of Noah’s days that put an end to its ravages.

“This 200 million-year-old fossil was originally discovered in the 19th century, but a new analysis reveals that it's the oldest known example of a coleoid, or a class of cephalopods that includes octopuses, squid and cuttlefish, attacking prey.

That attack was vicious, said study lead researcher, Malcolm Hart, emeritus professor of micropaleontology at the University of Plymouth in England.”

The researchers named the creature Clarkeiteuthis montefiorei. The 40 centimeters squid long relative was eating a smaller herring-like fish, when something stopped what they were doing.

The study has been accepted by the Proceedings of the Geologists' Association and was presented May 6 as part of Sharing Geoscience Online.
