    Scientists from the University of Bath discovered the fossil remains of a dinosaur species called Chenanisaurus barbaricus in marine rocks in Morocco. This discovery, along with other findings of dinosaur fossils in marine environments, supports young-Earth creationist views that dinosaurs were buried rapidly during a global flood around 4,500 years ago. Evidence that many dinosaur fossils are found preserved alongside marine fossils and in marine sedimentary rocks suggests they were buried together as flood waters rose and mixed terrestrial and marine species. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being strongest support, this article rates as a 4 in supporting a young Earth viewpoint.

    Dinosaur Fossils Found in Marine Rocks...

    Again

    What are the main findings?

    Scientists have been finding incredible dinosaur petrified bones and footprints for
    centuries. The university of Bath in the UK's Nick Longrich and his colleagues
    discovered Chenanisaurus barbaricus, a dinosaur that resembled Tyrannosaurus rex.
    From a jaw bone fragment discovered in the mines at Sidi Chennane, Morocco, he was
    able to identify the dinosaur. He came to the conclusion that the dinosaur was an
    Abelisaur, a theropod species related to the Tyrannosarus rex. The fact that so many
    dinosaurs coexist with marine fossils and are frequently discovered in marine strata,
    however, does not surprise creation experts. With all of these discoveries, it is clearly
    obvious that finding dinosaurs in marine rocks or combined with marine fossils is the
    rule rather than the exception.
    How strongly does these findings support the young-Earth view?  

    Brian Thomas, an ICR research scientist, uncovered some dinosaur fossils that date
    from 250 to 550 million years ago. The data unmistakably indicates to a short age for
    Earth and to the global Flood that produced the petrified remnants, immediately burying
    them in sediments about 4,500 years ago. It would be difficult for these highly
    degradable substances to last for more than a few thousand years.

    A summary the main finding(s) of the article.

    The fossil record, which includes bones, teeth, footprints, tracks, eggs, and skin
    impressions, provides the foundation for all of our knowledge of non-avian
    dinosaurs. People have been finding incredible dinosaur fossilised bones and
    footprints all around the world for millennia. One of the dinosaur species that
    Nick Longrich and his colleagues from the University of Bath in the UK
    identified is called Chenanisaurus barbaricus (1). From a specimen discovered in
    the mines at Sidi Chennane, Morocco, they were able to identify the dinosaur.
    They came to the conclusion that the dinosaur was an Abelisaur, a theropod
    species related to the Tyrannosaurus rex. But Longrich and his colleagues
    shouldn't be surprised to find a dinosaur in marine rocks because earlier research
    by a team of palaeontologists indicated that nearly all European Cretaceous
    dinosaurs were buried under marine rocks (2,3).
    A theropod dinosaur thighbone fragment was discovered in beachfront marine
    rock north of Seattle by a different researcher. Although the precise species is
    unclear, the fossil, which is also from Upper Cretaceous strata, was identified as
    the upper left femur of a theropod dinosaur with a size comparable to an adult
    Tyrannosaurus rex (4). The fact that so many dinosaurs coexist with marine
    fossils and are frequently discovered in marine strata, however, does not surprise
    creation experts. As the saline Flood waters enveloped the continents and mixed
    sediments, marine life, and terrestrial species together, dinosaurs were quickly
    buried beneath them. Phosphate mines in Morocco and other countries throughout
    the world have proof of the worldwide Flood.

    On a scale of 1-5 assess the article’s significance in its support of a young Earth. Where 1 -
    weakly supports the young-Earth view . . and 5 strongly supports the young-Earth view.
    The fossil record is considered irrefutable evidence of a global flood in relatively recent
    times by young earth creationists. I used to believe in evolution until I started learning
    about fossils and the very specific conditions that must exist for a fossil to form: the
    correct elements in the right amounts, under the right conditions, with enough of water.
    Nearly nowhere on Earth now, and very definitely not in the quantities seen in the
    fossil record, is this happening.

     A short concluding sentence or two.

    As a result of all these discoveries, it is now obvious that finding dinosaurs in


    marine rocks or combined with marine fossils is the rule rather than the
    exception. One way to explain deep time and evaluate life is through the fossil
    record.

    Give a rationale for your rating

    We can learn a lot about the history of life on Earth through the study of fossils. They can
    help us understand the origins of life and humanity, the evolution of the planet and its
    environment across time, and the once-connected nature of the continents that are now
    widely separated.
