... Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene periods are all contemporary with one another). Failing to grasp this, Velikovsky while at least cutting the time period down from millions of years to about 2000, has accordingly overrated the scale of the Exodus catastrophe. There is a slim possibility that Velikovsky might place the Flood at the time of the dinosaurs. This can easily be discounted. Stone Age Man could not possibly have survived in a world of flesh-eating dinosaurs like the 18 foot tall Tyrannosaurus Rex. Besides, in Kummel's book on p.37 we find a chart that clearly shows the dinosaurs drowned because of massive invasions of shallow seas upon the continents. The actual figures are ...

... new species could be more or less related to some still living ones, while others were widely divergent. For example, the first vertebrate animals (with backbones) are found only in the Devonian system. The first amphibia appear during the Carboniferous. Ammonites (a kind of Molluscs.) are not found before the Permian. The first dinosaurs and flying creatures appear during the Trigs. Some species utterly disappeared. For example, the end of the Cretaceous saw the extinction of all kinds of dinosaurs and ammonites. The woolly elephant (mammoth) utterly disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene. The examination of the world of fossils (incompletely summarized above in an over-simplified manner) ...

... settled down, the new inhabitants of an ecological niche have much in common with the former inhabitants, whether they are closely related to them or not. Jill thinks my example of ammonoids replacing ammonoids at the end of the Palaeozoic Era was a poor one, because of the close relationship involved, so let us consider what happened when the dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period. There were no survivors to stage a recovery, as happened with the ammonoids on the previous occasion, and their roles as large land animals were eventually taken over by the mammals. However, the body plans of dinosaurs and mammals had much in common, the main difference at the ...

... distant rather than a nearby supernova. The distant explosion falls short by a factor of 10^6 where a Velikovskian scenario involving a Saturnian nova would be of the right order of magnitude. CYANIDE COMET?- Nature (22/5 /80) vol.285 p.202. The latest catastrophic theory for the extinction of the dinosaurs involves cyanide poisoning! Comet nuclei are known to contain methane and ammonia: cyanides can be formed from such mixtures. Comet Kohoutek, for instance, is known to contain considerable quantities of cyanide. Instead of an asteroid, Prof. Kenneth Hsu of Zurich postulates a comet as his catastrophic agent in killing off the dinosaurs. Heat would ...

... than 10 km and impact energies of the equivalent of 100 million megatons of TNT within the past 500 Myr' This statement would have been anathema in 1950. In chapter 20 Palmer summarises the large number of minor catastrophes that have recently been accepted and the likely consequences such impacts may have had. Chapter 21 deals with the death of the dinosaurs and the iridium layer. Though they were not the first to suggest it, the publication in 1980 by the influential Alvarez team, father and son, of the idea of a major comet impacting the Earth in Mexico and causing the iridium layer and the extinction of the dinosaurs, was suddenly accepted. Catastrophism was victorious, at least ...

... claeys00.html When the sky Fell on our heads: Identification and interpretation of impact products in the sedimentary record by Nikos Drakos, CBLU, University of Leeds U.S . National Report to IUGG, 1991-1994, Rev. Geophys. Vol. 33 Suppl., (c ) 1995 American Geophysical Union. The big problem with the dinosaur extinction by meteorite impact theory was that 45 years ago people did not know what the signature for a large meteorite or comet impact would look like. Regardless of whether the Chicxulube impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, geologists now know what to look for in terms of evidence indicating such an impact. However, even though the Holocene ...

... in the media for alternatives to Lyell and Darwin will be welcomed by catastrophists, but this 30-minute documentary on the new Creationist movement was an opportunity missed. The giveaway clue was its production as a religious programme in the Everyman series, rather than under the editorial control of BBC2's Horizon science documentary unit, which produced "The Death of the Dinosaurs". While not overtly biassed against either catastrophism or creationism, this presentation lacked any hard discussion of the issues involved. The ubiquitous Stephen Jay Gould (surely biology's answer to super-star Carl Sagan) maintained a loyalty to Darwin, even while beating a retreat to his chosen ground of punctuated equilibria. A professor Smith of Sussex University squirmed ...

... contemporaneous, rather than sequential. But like the close of the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic upper boundary is marked by extinctions on a global scale, extinctions that uniformitarianism does not satisfactorily explain. Again we see preserved in the rocks the close of an apparent second phase of life and topography in the earth's history-a phase we know as the Age of Dinosaurs, some of those dinosaurs being the largest land-dwellers that ever lived. The earth was undoubtedly a long time recovering from its initial battering, but like the phoenix it continued to live in new form. And the biosphere took on an entirely new aura. Born somehow from creatures of the previous age bearing little or no resemblance to them ...
