Fossils reveal what the fur of early mammals looked like

What did the early mammals look like, according to evolution? Some researchers say that the fossils say that they do like their ancestors of all today’s species.

But the fossils have many problems.  Some had said that the ancestor of all whales lived on land and then moved to waters.

“While many dinosaurs and pterosaurs flaunted flamboyant feathers, early mammals were a dull lot. A study of the fossilised fur of six mammals that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods has found they all had greyish-brown fur.

“They were dinosaur food,” says Matthew Shawkey at Ghent University in Belgium. “You didn’t want to be conspicuous.”

A study of the fossilised fur of six mammals from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods has found they were all greyish-brown in colour, which would have helped them hide from dinosaurs.

Lizards lived with the dinosaurs

Researchers have found lizards that are 50 million years older than they were supposed to be. 

“New resear published  on May 3rd,  in eLife by scientists from the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP) and the University of Bristol challenges the current consensus that the radiation of squamates happened in the Cretaceous period. This was when according to evolution, many terrestrial tetrapod groups like mammals, lizards and birds, apparently underwent a great diversification,”

It appears that the evolutionists were lying of the time that lizard arose,  They arose just in time to live  with the dinosaurs.The lizards were thought to live  the Jurassic between 201 and 145 miilion years, long before current estimates.

Researcher have found perhaps tens of thousands of marine invertebrates called echinoderms — meaning "hedgehog skin" in Greek, and including the ancient ancestors of modern starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and frilly-limbed sea lilies — immaculately preserved at all stages of their life cycles, the researchers said in a statement.

 

They were found beneath a limestone quarry in the U.K.'s Cotswolds region.


 According to evolutionists, the site dates to the middle Jurassic period, roughly 200 million to 145 million years ago, when dinosaurs ruled the world.
