Description
“In eastern Montana, there is a controversy over whether dinosaurs lived into the Tertiary. The K/T boundary in this area is defined by a floral change, but it is also associated with a weak iridium anomaly (an original report of a significant Ir anomaly turned out to be contamination from a platinum ring worn by a technician preparing the samples for analysis). Dinosaurs have been found above the defined K/T boundary from at least six different sites, while ungulates, normally considered ‘Tertiary’, have been found below the boundary.” –The Extinction of the Dinosaurs; M. Oard; CEN Tech J., vol. 11, no. 2, 1997, p.148 {Gradual dinosaur extinction and simultaneous ungulate radiation at the Hell Creek Formation; Science, 232:629-633; Dinosaurs from the Paleocene part of the Hell Creek Formation, McCone County, Montana. Palaios, 2:296-302; Mass Extinction: fact or fallacy? In: The Mass Extinction Debates: How Science Works in a Crisis, Stanford Univ. Press, Stanford, Ca., p.233,234}

“…when someone finds a relatively intact dinosaur skeleton, for instance, consider that it had to be buried quickly to form in the first place. Consider also that most such fossils are found in huge graveyards, often within layers of rock (such as the Dakota Sandstone in the USA) that cover hundreds of thousands of square km. Then ask yourself whether we see things like that happening on the Earth today….a massive global hydraulic cataclysm is a much more logical explanation for the existence of ‘billions of dead things, laid down by water, all over the Earth.’” –Creation Archive, Vol.24 Issue 4, The Vanishing Giant

“To preserve such features, it is obvious that the creature needs to be buried quickly. Not just that, but the enclosing sediment needs to harden fairly quickly. If it stayed soft and unconsolidated for years, the fact that oxygen, moisture and bacteria could easily access the carcass means that one would very quickly have a disintegrated, stinking mess.…The silent testimony of the billions of well-preserved (fossils) is, by the most obvious common sense, to rapid processes—rapid burial and rapid hardening (of the encasing sediment). Sadly, the mindset of our culture is such that most people miss the obvious, and continue to think ‘slow and gradual’ when they see fossils—even beautifully preserved ones…” –Creation Archive, Vol.19 Issue 4, Fast Fossils

“Defining the K/T boundary based on the last dinosaur is also a circular definition, since scientists claim that the dinosaurs only lived in the Mesozoic when the presence of a dinosaur automatically defines the strata as Mesozoic. For instance, dinosaur remains from France and India were discovered in what were considered ‘Tertiary’ strata. The strata were subsequently redefined as ‘Cretaceous’!” –The Extinction of the Dinosaurs; M. Oard; CEN Tech J., vol. 11, no. 2, 1997, p.148 {Dinosaur Egglaying and Nesting in France; Dinosaur Eggs and Babies; Cambridge Univ. Press, London, p.57; Upper Cretaceous dinosaur eggs and nesting sites from the Deccan volcano-sedimentary province of peninsular India; ibid, p.208}

“Many fossils and artifacts have been found ‘out of place.’7 That is, they are in strata that the evolutionist says represent a period of time when, for example, that organism did not live, or human artifacts could not have been made. There are plenty of examples; some published in respectable journals before the evolutionary paradigm became locked in. Such examples do not get published in modern standard evolutionary journals, possibly because it is inconceivable that such could exist in the evolutionary worldview. In another context, Nobel Prize winner Sir Fred Hoyle said,

‘Science today is locked into paradigms. Every avenue is blocked by beliefs that are wrong, and if you try to get anything published by a journal today, you will run up against a paradigm, and the editors will turn it down.’ {Horgan, J., Profile: Fred Hoyle, Scientific American 272(3):24–25, 1995} -The Revised and Expanded Answers Book, Master Books Publ., 1990; Ch. 15

Although this picture was made independent of the very top article cited, I thought the general facts it presents fit rather well with the theme of this picture. Micron pens, Prismacolor pencils.
