“No human being hasever seen a live dino-saur.”

“Use this geoguidepage…to help cap-ture the interest ofyoung readers andstimulate discussionwith them.”

In Dr. Philip Kitcher’s anti-creationist booktitled Abusing Science: The Case AgainstCreationism (which renowned evolutionistStephen Jay Gould called a “brilliant book”),he claimed that solid evidence for the co-existence of dinosaurs and humans would“shake the foundations of evolutionarytheory, because, of course, the dinosaursare supposed to have been long extinct bythe time the hominids arrived on the scene”(1982, p. 121).

Natural BridgesNational Monumentis located in south-eastern Utah about40 miles west ofBlanding, Utah.

At Kachina Bridge,one can see numerouspetroglyphs and picto-graphs that date backto the time of theAnasazi Indians.

“There is a petroglyph in Natural Bridges NationalMonument that bears a startling resemblance to adinosaur, specifically a Brontosaurus, with long tailand neck, small head and all.”Fran Barnes, evolutionist and recognized authority on rock art ofthe American Southwest, Canyon Country Prehistoric Indians—Their Culture, Ruins, Artifacts, and Rock Art, 1979, p. 201.

“One of the most curious designs is a petroglyphthat resembles a dinosaur, which is apparently ofAnasazi origin based on its patination” (2000, p.105). NOTE: Slifer could not “explain away” thepetroglyph at Kachina Bridge!

•“They don’t really want to.”

•“It was too early to be a horse.”

•“Some people think it really is a picture of adinosaur, but they are crazy.”

• She indicated that there are petroglyphs that re-semble mammoths, so the petroglyph at Kachinabridge may be just “some monster” that the Ana-sazis carved onto rock.

When I asked a staff member at the NaturalBridges National Monument visitor center abouthow scientists and those knowledgeable in rock artexplain the dinosaur petroglyph, she stated:

Interestingly,Apatosaurusfossils were

discovered inBlanding, Utah

over fortyyears ago, andcurrently areon display atthe DinosaurMuseum inBlanding.

Stegosaurus

“Roundels on pilasterson the south side of

the west entrance areunusual in design. Inparticular…an animal

which bears a strikingresemblance to a

stegosaurus.”

Claude Jacques and MichaelFreeman, Angkor: Cities and

Temples, 1997, p. 213

“Among the vertical strip ofroundels in the angle be-tween the south wall of theporch and the east wall ofthe main body of the go-pura there is even a veryconvincing representa-tion of a stegosaur.”

PeruIca,Peru

Over 11,000 Ica stones have been foundin Peru since the 1930s.

Discovered byDr. JavierCabreraDarquea, IcaNationalUniversity;

Photographfrom Dr. DennisL. Swift,“Messages onStone,” CreationEx Nihilo,19[2]:20-23,March-May1997]

SeveralDiplodocus-like

dinosaurs on thestones have

what appear tobe dermal frills—something never

reported andverified by

scientists beforethe early 1990s.

Dermal frills were first found in modern times in 1992during an examination of fossilized remains of sauro-pods. In an article titled “New Look for SauropodDinosaurs,” evolutionary paleontologist Stephen Czer-kas noted:

“Recent discovery of fossilized sauropod (diplo-docid) skin impressions reveals a significantly dif-ferent appearance for these dinosaurs. The fos-silized skin demonstrates that a median row of[dermal] spines was present.… Some are quitenarrow, and others are broader and more conical”(1992, in Geology, 20:1068).

“Some arequite narrow”

“others arebroader”

Concerning sauropod dermal spines found in theHowe dinosaur quarry in Wyoming in 1992,geologist Ellen Morris Bishop wrote: “Thebiggest spines found were about 9 inches long,shaped a little like a shark’s dorsal fin. Thesmallest, at tail-tip, were about 3 inches high”(1993, The Oregonian, January 14).

ACAMBARO (Mexico) FIGURINES

ACAMBARO FIGURINE DATES

Eighteen samples of pottery and figurineswere subjected to thermoluminescencetesting by the University of Pennsylvania,and gave dates of approximately 4500 B.P.(before the present).

*These results were subsequently withdrawn when itwas learned that some of the samples were fromdinosaur figurines.

Tissue fragments from a Tyrannosaurus rex femur are shown atleft, when it is flexible and resilient and when stretched (arrow)returns to its original shape. The middle photo shows the boneafter it is air dried. The photo at right shows regions of boneshowing fibrous character, not normally seen in fossil bone.
