Not even close, once the first group of us made it through and figured out how to navigate, its only a matter of time before they all get wiped out. The only thing that I would have loved to know is what they tasted like, I mean beyond the incredible view of seeing them in person.

Dinosaurs predated us. Do you understand carbon dating?

Please elaborate on this navigation technique.

Do you? Carbon dating only works back to 50,000 years or so.

Take a picture of it and post it. I am on the edge of my seat.

What's your trap check frequency laws? I'm thinking that if its 24 hours, your gonna be busy for a while.

Here’s the rock that’s in my basement…I circled the line of tracks

There is a big difference between adaptation and evolution.
Adaptation is merely the ability of a species to change its ways to make a living in the relatively short term.
Evolution is a result of random genetic mutations occurring over millions of years which renders a survival edge to some which is passed on to their progeny, while those which lack those genetic traits die out.
Most species today on the endangered species list are the ones which lack the advantage of the process. 99.9% of all known species on Earth have gone extinct. Those on the endangered list are merely next in line to join the 99.9%.
If we believe that God has better plans for human beings, we might want to start acting better to deserve it.

Here’s a better pic of the mine roof.


A different critter…



Me, pointing at the tracks…

There are other types of isotope dating that are used past 50,000 years. And other types of dating techniques.

Yeah I know but Chas apparently does not.

How would it get on the ceiling?

Well then quit posting and help strengthen the curve a bit. Take one for the Gipper.....

I don't believe any of that dating things back to hundreds of thousands of years is accurate. It's a hypothesis at best in my opinion. And my opinion counts because I've stayed at a Holiday Inn Express not once, but twice!!

I'd like to know where this bit of information came from.

The mine roof was once the surface of the earth. When these critters walked in the mud, they sunk in and made a track. Over time, more silt accumulated over the mud that the track was made in. Over time, the silt formed layers of shale. When the coal was removed, mine roof is shale. If some of the shale rock scales off, it exposes the tracks….no longer sunk in the mud, but rather raised tracks. That’s because the tracks filled with silt and are adhered to the layer of rock above it.

Thanks bigbrownie. I should of thought that we were looking at the underside of them. Very interesting.

Believe me, I had to think about it while back then to understand what I was looking at. I’ve known thousands of miners in my life, but none that I know of have ever seen anything like this. The folks from the universities were very excited….you could tell by their reactions it was something very rare to encounter.
How could something 400 feet underground once be the earth’s surface. Mind boggling stuff for sure.

I understand they carbon dated snails to be thirty thousand years old, and the place knew they were less than 30 years old. LoL

They carbon dated a fresh killed seal to be 1600 years old. ( Antarctic Journal of United States Volume 6 Oct. 1971)

Guess only, but would say glaciers or a great flood.
