The 57-centimetre-long fossil is between 100 million and 145 million years old, and was discovered by a farmer near the town of Lamadong in Liaoning, China.

Some Darwinist sat  that a bird like dinosaur was found in China,  it was was donated to a museum at Hebei GEO University in 2023, where Ji Qiang and his colleagues examined the exquisitely preserved specimen, complete with plumage, teeth, wings and articulated spine.

he researchers determined that the dinosaur was a new species, which they named Norellraptor barsboldi in honour of palaeontologists Mark Allen Norell and Rinchen Barsbold. It belongs in a group of small dinosaurs with both feathers and wings known as microraptorines.

Based on evolutionary relationships, the researchers found that around 30 per cent of anatomical changes in microraptorines also evolved in the bird lineage, but in a different order, providing evidence that the two groups evolved flight separately and for different reasons.

Analyses of N. barsboldi’s bone microstructure, its growth patterns and its evolutionary relationships show that the evolutionary sequences leading to flight adaptations in living birds and in bird-like dinosaurs were quite different, says Jacqueline  Nguyen.

This survey does not say that dinosaurs and birds are relatives.

Rhinos in Canada

Ancient 'frosty' rhino from Canada's High Arctic rewrites what scientists thought they knew about the North Atlantic Land Bridge

Rhinos were not supposed to life so far from the equator.  The evolutionists have a reason for this – they claim that the land bridge had brought the continents together, no mention of a global flood which is the more plausible examination as fossils from the flood could have brought to Canada.

Darwinists think that it took millions of years for these animals to reach Canada.

Scientists have called the animal Epiatheracerium itjilik, with the species name meaning "frost" or "frosty" in Inuktitut. These creatures were similar in size to modern Indian rhinos (Rhinoceros unicornis), according to a statement from the Canadian Museum of Nature (CMN). The newly identified fossils are the only specimen found to date and show that the animal died of unknown causes as a young adult.

"What's remarkable about the Arctic rhino is that the fossil bones are in excellent condition," Marisa Gilbert, a CMN paleobiologist and co-author of a new analysis of the remains, said in the statement. "They are three-dimensionally preserved and have only been partially replaced by minerals. About 75% of the skeleton was discovered, which is incredibly complete for a fossil."

The bones were preserved inside the 14-mile-wide (23 kilometers) impact crater thanks to it rapidly filling with water. The crater formed from an asteroid or comet around the same time that the Arctic rhino lived, which suggests the rhino died inside the crater before it became a lake.

The climate in this region was far warmer then than it is today, and plant remains show that the Canadian High Arctic — specifically, Devon Island in Nunavut, where the crater is located — hosted a temperate forest, according to the statement.

As the Miocene epoch (23 million to 5.3 million years ago) transitioned into the Pliocene epoch (5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago) and finally gave way to the last ice age, the fossils were broken up by freeze and thaw cycles and gradually pushed to the surface of the crater. Researchers then found the fossils in 1986.

Dinosaur fossil rewrites the story of how sauropods got long necks

Some Darwinist thinks that the evolution of dinosaurs followed a pattern of first small, then big.

A 230-million-year-old fossil found in Argentina shows that the evolution of sauropod dinosaurs’ long necks began earlier than previously thought.

High in the Argentinian Andes, a team of palaeontologists has found a small dinosaur fossil with the first hints of the extended neck that distinguishes sauropod dinosaurs like Diplodocus.

Named Huayracursor jaguensis, the fossil is a partial skeleton from a dinosaur that lived in the Triassic period, around 230 million years ago. It would have been around 2 metres long, weighing about 18 kilograms.

Later, sauropods such as Brontosaurus and Patagotitan would become some of the largest and longest-necked animals ever to have lived, reaching lengths of over 35 metres and weights of more than 70 tonnes.

Until recently, evolutionists  thought that the precursors of these long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs, known as sauropodomorphs, were small, short-necked and possibly omnivorous.

Other sauropodomorphs living at the same time as H. jaguensis were much smaller, around a metre in length, and showed no signs of the lengthening of the neck bones seen in the newly found species. It wasn’t until several million years later that sauropodomorphs began to significantly increase their body mass and lengthen their necks, palaeontologists thought.

The discovery of H. jaguensis at Santo Domingo Creek in north-west Argentina, made by Martín Hechenleitner at Argentina’s National Scientific and Technical Research Council and his colleagues, changes the evolutionary  story of how these dinosaurs got their long necks.

“Huayracursor breaks somewhat with this idea of a gradual transition, because it coexisted with its small, proportionally shorter-necked relatives,” says Hechenleitner.

The dinosaur had a small skull compared with its contemporaries, robust hind limbs, slender hips and short arms with fairly large, robust hands.

It demonstrates that increased body size and neck lengthening were already evident from the beginning of the evolutionary history of its lineage, says Hechenleitner.

“Huayracursor drags the origin of the long neck and larger body size towards the first appearance of dinosaurs in the fossil record,” he says. “It’s fascinating to think that giant animals up to 40 meters long and over 30 tonnes, like Argentinosaurus and Patagotitan, are part of a lineage that began more than 100 million years earlier, with bipedal forms just over a meter long and a mere 10 to 15 kilograms [in weight].”

A beautifully preserved skeleton found on the UK’s Jurassic Coast has been identified as a new species of the marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs

The ichthyosaurus was a predatory animal, that according to evolutionists live at the time when dinosaurs ruled the world.

The beautifully-preserved fossilised skeleton was found on the UK’s Jurassic Coast near an area called Golden Cap back in 2001, and sat for years in the collections of the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada.

“They knew it was something interesting,” says Dean Lomax at the University of Manchester, UK. “They were going to work on it but they just never did.”

Lomax and his colleagues have now prepared and identified the specimen, which has an enormous eye socket and a long, sword-like snout. The fossil also has “needle-like piercing teeth [that] are very much designed for feasting on soft-bodied prey like squid and fish”, says Lomax. “You can get a good sense of how this thing would have been in life, basically relying on really good vision to hunt, probably in dim conditions.”

The animal would have been around 3 metres long – about the size of a common bottlenose dolphin – and lived during an age of the Early Jurassic called the Pliensbachian, some 193 to 184 million years ago.

It has features that have never been seen in an ichthyosaur before, including a unique bone around the nostril called a lacrimal with prong-like structures. “The level of three-dimensional preservation, particularly of cranial sutures and delicate structures such as the lacrimal and prefrontal projections, is exceptional,” says Aubrey Roberts at the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo in Norway.

A dark mass between the ribs might be its last meal, but the team couldn’t determine what that was.

Dinosaur found with a crocodile in its jaws named as new species

Crocodiles are living fossils that are with us today. The dinosaur that nibbled it lived some 66 million years ago, before the extinction of the dinosaurs. That is what some evolutionists say.

A dinosaur that may have been one of the fiercest of the Cretaceous period has been excavated in South America – with an extinct crocodile’s leg in its jaws.

The remains of the dinosaur, named Joaquinraptor casali – a species of megaraptor that is new to science – were discovered in the headwaters of the Rio Chico river in Patagonia, Argentina, in 2019.

Now, Lucio Ibiricu at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council in Chubut, Argentina, and his colleagues have studied the fossil in detail, and were surprised by what they found in the mouth of the near-complete skull.

“The humerus, or legbone, of an extinct crocodile relative was between the jaws of Joaquinraptor and directly in contact with the teeth,” says Ibiricu. “This discovery is suggesting, though not proving, that the new megaraptor may have been eating the crocodyliform [the clade that modern crocodiles belong to] when it died.”

The researchers are still studying the crocodile’s humerus to determine how big it may have been, but preliminary work suggests it was large, says Ibiricu.

In addition to recovering most of the dinosaur’s skull, the team also excavated its vertebrae, feet, two claws, and an arm, leg and hand. The thumb claw, which is the size of a human forearm, would have been able to tear open the soft tissue of its prey, says Ibiricu.

Other megaraptoran fossils have been found in Asia, Australia and elsewhere in South America, but J. casali is the first to be found by scientists that lived so close to the end of the Cretaceous period and, also, one of the most complete.

The team determined the dinosaur would have been at least 19 years old when it died, based on the microstructure of its tibia. It also would have been about 7 metres long and weighed at least a tonne.

While Tyrannosaurus rex would have been larger and had a bigger head, J. casali had larger, more muscular arms, says Ibiricu. But both would probably have been the apex predators in their respective environments, he says.

Deflecting a deadly asteroid just got a lot less dangerous

Joel Kontinen

Our first attempt at shifting the orbit of an asteroid has provided crucial insight into how we could safely deflect a space rock that was hurtling towards Earth.

Some space rocks can be nasty. According to evolution, the asteroids caused the demise of the dinosaurs. That event was probably related to Noah's flood that caused some dino's and many other animals to die.

If an the asteroid was heading for a deadly impact with Earth, could we nudge it off course safely without making the situation worse? Yes, thanks to a new system for calculating the perfect spot to smack a space craft into an incoming asteroid.

Steering away an asteroid bound for Earth is a high-stakes endeavour, and we have not had much practice. In 2023, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) showed for the first time that we can divert a space rock by smashing a small proband e into the tiny asteroid Dimorphos, which orbits a larger asteroid called Didymos, and changing its orbit by 30 minutes.

Armoured dinosaur's 'crazy' spikes weren't just for defence

A 165-million-year-old ankylosaur from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco was covered in an array of extreme armour including body spikes fused to its skeleton, a feature never seen in any dinosaur before

When Adam and Eve sinned, the world turned around. The animals that could protect themselves  at times grew plates and spines so they would not be killed.

A dinosaur fossil found in Morocco may be the most bizarrely and elaborately armoured vertebrate that has ever walked the planet.

The first fossil of Spicomellus afer was discovered in Morocco and reported in 2021. It was only a rib fragment with fused spikes, suggesting that it belonged to a group of dinosaurs known as ankylosaurs. These short-limbed, wide-bodied herbivorous dinosaurs are characterised by their covering of plates and spines.

Then, in October 2022, a farmer in the badlands of Morocco’s Middle Atlas mountains began to excavate a much more complete Spicomellus skeleton. That fossil has now been dated to 165 million years ago, in the Jurassic Period. The creature was probably about 4 metres long and weighed up to 2 tonnes.

Armoured dinosaurs such as stegosaurs and ankylosaurs, like modern crocodiles, had bony plates that sat in the skin called osteoderms. But in the Spicomellus fossil, there are two different types of bony armour: osteoderms and spikes that are actually fused to the bone.

“It’s unheard of among armoured dinosaurs, and indeed anything that has osteoderms, which is totally crazy,” says Susannah Maidment at the Natural History Museum in London, a member of the team that analysed the fossil.

In total, the Spicomellus specimen has dozens of armoured spikes covering almost its entire body. Some spikes attached to a neck collar are nearly a metre in length. There are also fused vertebrae in the tail, indicating that it may have been a fierce weapon.

The creature was so bizarre, says Maidment, that she “ran out of hyperboles to describe it”. “You can’t use words like ‘crazy’ in a scientific paper, and I kept using words like extreme and elaborate,” she says. “Then one of my colleagues suggested another way of trying to get across the unusualness of this thing was to describe it in the study as ‘baroque’.”

Such extreme armour would have severely limited the species’ capacity to navigate its environment and would have made living anywhere with dense vegetation almost impossible, says Maidment. “It would have just kept getting stuck everywhere,” she says.

The armour is so complex that the researchers think it had another function in addition to defence, such as to attract mates. “Things that appear to be totally impractical in the fossil record almost invariably relates to sex in some way or other. And so, you know, we think it is most likely to be some sort of display.”

Giant meat-eating dinosaur skulls reveal ‘bone-crushing’ bite

Differences in the skulls of carnivorous dinosaurs suggest some dinosaurs ripped flesh while others crushed bones.

A closer look at the skulls of gigantic dinosaurs reveals some preferred to shred their prey, while others attacked with bone-crushing.

Andre Rowe and Emily Rayfield at the University of Bristol in the UK looked at the skulls of 18 species of theropods from across the Mesozoic Era. This diverse group of dinosaurs, which includes T. Rex, Giganotosaurus and Spinosaurus, walked on their hind legs and had large heads and big, sharp teeth.

Some evolutionists believe that the dinosaurs are divided into too many clans but now it seem that they have overrated it and that there are not so much different dinosaurs at all.

Enigmacursor darted around North America in the Late Jurassic 145-150 million years ago and its skeleton now be on display in London’s Natural History Museum

A newly discovered species of dinosaur is going on display in London’s Natural History Museum.

Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae was a speedy, two-legged herbivore, 64 centimetres tall and 180 cm long that lived about 145 million to 150 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic Period.

Its reconstructed skeleton will be on display in the museum’s Earth Hall from 26 June, alongside its contemporary, Sophie the Stegosaurus.

Susannah Maidment and Paul Barrett, both palaeontologists at the Natural History Museum, have analysed the Enigmacursor specimen, which was uncovered from the Morrison Formation in the western US in 2021-22.

Back then, it was thought to be a Nanosaurus – a poorly known species of small herbivorous dinosaur. The Enigmacursor fossil isn’t complete, but using the few teeth – which reveal it ate plants – and portions of the neck, backbone, tail, pelvis, limbs and feet, Maidment and Barrett have defined this fossil as a new species, placed it in an evolutionary tree and reconstructed it for display.

They have based the structure of missing elements, like the skull, on similar small dinosaurs like Yandusaurus and Hexinlusaurus. Generally, we know little about smaller dinosaurs, both because they are less likely to fossilise than bigger animals and because fossil hunters tend to seek larger, more valuable examples.

“This is a two-legged dinosaur and it’s got very small forearms that it probably would have used to grasp food to bring it to its mouth,” says Maidment. “And it’s got incredibly large feet and very long limbs. So, it was probably quite fast by dinosaur standards.”

That is where the “cursor” part of its name comes from: it means “runner”. Maidment says it was probably charging around in the shadows of behemoths like Diplodocus and Stegosaurus.

The specimen’s vertebrae weren’t fused, which implies it wasn’t fully mature when it died. “I think this animal was probably a teenager, but it may well have been sexually mature, so it might not have got that much bigger,” says Maidment.

“Enigmacursor represents one of the rarities from further down the food chain of the dinosaur era,” says David Norman at the University of Cambridge. “This newly described animal was clearly a small, wallaby-sized herbivore that scampered around the Late Jurassic countryside.”

The discovery sheds light on the early evolutionary stages of the herbivorous dinosaurs that would go on to dominate Cretaceous ecosystems in North America, says Maidment, and helps us build a more realistic ecological picture of the life and times of dinosaurs.

Can we spot every incoming asteroid before they hit Earth?

News of the asteroid 2024 RW1 impacting near the Philippines may have come as a shock this week, but space agencies and astronomers around the world are keeping an eye out to protect us.

Can we spot the asteroids that come to Earth, just as the asteroid that according to evolutionists took off the dinosaurs many years ago, or the many that have reached Earth in the past or the one that is promised  in the book of Revelation?

“The surprise discovery of asteroid 2024 RW1, mere hours before it hit Earth harmlessly this week, may have you wondering whether we are at risk of larger space rocks coming out of nowhere and wreaking devastation. Thankfully, our ability to track asteroids is on the rise, even if we can’t catch them all.

“We believe we know more than 90 per cent of the asteroids that are about one kilometre in size, where one kilometre is considered, not a planet killer, but something that would destroy a whole region or a whole continent,” says Ian Carnelli.

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.

Chicken sized dinosaur found in Wales

Joel Kontinen

Researchers in Wales have found a dinosaur that is some 215 million and 200 million years ago, during the late Triassic period. 

Called Pendraig milnerae They say that It existed at the beginning of the evolution of the meat-eating dinosaurs and was as small as a chicken. But it was not the size of a. T. rex. 

It was it about 1 meter or 3 feet  long, including its tail, and that it was a theropod — a group of bipedal, mostly meat-eating dinosaurs. 

 So some evolutionists believe that dinos started small and then grew to their size,  

However, the scientist who reported this dino say that it was dwarf, as Susannah Maidment says,: "Species which live on islands often tend to become smaller than those on the mainland in a phenomenon called island dwarfism.."

Great Fossil Graveyard in Wyoming Points to Noah’s Flood

A great fossil found fossil graveyard  in eastern Wyoming has yielded over 13,000 individual elements primarily of the hadrosaurid dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens, 

Almost all specimens exhibit exquisite preservation (i.e., little to no abrasion, weathering, and breakage), but they are disarticulated which, combined with our sedimentological observations, suggests that the bones were remobilized and buried after a period of initial decay and disarticulation of Edmontosaurus carcasses,

Forget the millions of years postulated for this find, This points out that the Flood of Noah’s time could most probably caused this preservation.

Evolutionists fall into their speculation, more dinosaurs exists in their story than in life

The fossil record can be a nightmare for Darwinian evolution, as animals often appear fully formed in the wrong places, don’t evolve for aeons and any assumed intermediate forms tend to be more or less suspicious. national geographic, in 2009,National Geographic reported that a third of dinosaur species never existed.

Dinosaurs Decoded is a documentary that challenges our views of dinosaurs. The film, produced by the National Geographic Channel, claims that a third of dinosaur species never existed.

Young dinosaurs differed in many ways from their parents. However, researchers have not always taken this into account. Science thus ”knows” species that have never existed.

Mark Goodwin of the University of California, Berkeley, and Jack Horne of Montana State University, are prominent palaeontologists who present their discoveries in the documentary. They suggest, for instance, that the relatives of T. rex were often classified as distinct species although they actually were juveniles that lacked the traits that are characteristic of adult Tyrannosaurs.

Nowadays many researchers regard Nanotyrannus as a young T. rex. They know that dinosaurs changed as they got older just like many present species do. For instance, deer get their antlers when they are full-grown.

Jane and Petey were terrible teens, it seems.

Two 6-foot-tall dinosaurs, nicknamed "Jane" and "Petey," have been confirmed as Tyrannosaurus rex teenagers with years of growth ahead of them, and not a pygmy dinosaur species as some had argued.

In 2015, science posted an article about nonotyrannos, (its in Finnish, but you can see it here ).

Both teenagers were 1.8 to 2.4 centimetres 6 to 8 feet in height, about 4.5 to 6 m (15 to 20 feet) in length, and they about 1,000 kilograms 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms).

Microscopic analysis of the bones from the two skeletons, both found in Montana in the early 2000s, determined that they were from two Tyrannosaurus rex juveniles, 13 and 15 years old at death — and not a new species named Nanotyrannus, which has been suggested.

"The research confirmed that these were immature animals," paleontologist Holly Woodward from Oklahoma State University told Live Science. "They were not full-sized."

This study shows that the creationist’s view of dinos is right. They would like God calling the dinos that were in their teens to climb on board Noah’s Ark.

Big Cretaceous Frog May Have Eaten Small Dinosaurs, Study Suggests

Dino eater's descendent? Image courtesy of Mauricio Rivera Correa, CC BY-SA 2.5.




Joel Kontinen

Named after an ancient Canaanite god, an extinct frog that lived in Madagascar could probably bite so hard that small dinosaurs were in danger of ending up on its menu.

'Bite force research reveals dinosaur-eating frog' was the title of a recent article in Science Daily.

The article is a report on research published in the journal Scientific Reports on how hard modern South American horned frogs could bite.

The study authors assume that the frog Beelzebufo lived some “68 million years” ago and resembled modern South American horned frogs in many ways.

They propose that it could have had a bite force of almost 2200 Newtons (N), which is roughly the same as that of wolves or tigresses.

Frogs have amazing design features and they confirm the after its kind principle introduced in the Book of Genesis.

The study shows that frogs, whether big or small, are frogs, and at least some frogs haven’t yet had the time to turn into princes.

Dinosaurs were supposed to rule during the Cretaceous Era, but research suggests that modern mammals and modern birds were also living at that time.
