... without reaching rock bottom. Entire forests have been found buried in this area, including plum trees complete with their leaves and fruits, to say nothing of palm trees and huge exotic ferns. . . . animals [have been] found buried in this muck, the most noteworthy and famous of which, needless to say, is the mammoth. Let's face it, as George Gaylord Simpson was astute enough to realize, catastrophic events at the end of the Pleistocene were not only much more severe in North than in South America, they also affected a much larger proportion of animals. AMY: Cardona quotes various researchers defining the puzzle of how so much surface material could have ...
82. Scientific Prehistory [Books]
... of the major sedimentary thrust basins discussed: 3. the physical chemistry of oil is better accounted for by this model than by any uniformitarianism theory; 4. anomalous pressures and pressure gradients are common in oil wells; the rock permeabilities are such that these could not develop gradually, or survive for more than a short time. Fossils and Mammoths A good case (similar to Velikovsky's) is made for a catastrophic explanation of fossils. Fossil wood specimens recovered from Precambrian deposits in an iron ore mine varied from bright, modern appearing wood, through darkened (some changed by heat) to typical fossilized wood, according to Cook, and showed radiocarbon ages of 4,000 years ...

... Northwest, by J.E . Allen et al. 1986, $14 95 The story of the fight J H. Bretz had in the 1920s with the uniformitarian geology establishment, and how his theory that the Pacific Northwest showed unmistakable evidence of catastrophic flooding following the breaking of great ice dams was eventually vindicated. The Extinction of the Mammoth, by Charles Ginenthal. 1997, $24 95. This is a special edition of The Velikovskian and deals in detail with the evidence that the mammoths were wiped out during a cosmic catastrophe. Picture Writing of the American Indians, by G.

... that natural selection has been the main but not the exclusive means of modification." This has been of no avail. Great is the power of steady misrepresentation... ' Gould, it seems, carries on the tradition. "It got colder", says Gould, pushing his interpretation of Darwinian evolution, "before the woolly mammoth evolved its shaggy coat."(5 ) Did it just? Is it not possible, perhaps even probable, that like the peppered moth an unfavourable mutation (the shaggy coat) occurred, was kept down by adverse selection, but kept recurring "as in the case of most genes" until a change in the environment conferred ...
85. talk.origins Frequently Asked Questions Archive [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... .html Holden and Megafauna Ted Holden, a talk.origins catastrophist, has claimed that dinosaur sauropods would be too heavy to carry themselves about in current gravitational conditions. He proposes that the "felt effect of gravity" was reduced in the not-too-distant past, allowing such large beasts to walk around. This FAQ explores Holden's claims. Woolly Mammoths: Evidence of Catastrophe? An examination of the catastrophist claim that preserved mammoth remains indicate the occurrence a great catastrophe (as described by catastrophist Immanuel Velikovsky). Is Venus Young? Is Venus the young planet the Velikovskians say it is? Could it be only a few thousand years old, as opposed to the few billion that standard ...

... the trees in the Fens, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Denmark which are cut through and aligned in a position facing North East as though suddenly shattered by a blast from the South West. Apparently the well known astronomer, Fred Hoyle has also voiced his opposition to the Milankovich theory on account of the discovery of the frozen and freshly preserved mammoths of Siberia. Mr Hoyle pointed out that if a reindeer from Greenland were to fall down a crevasse, its internal heat would be sufficient, even in such freezing conditions, to cause putrefaction rather than the kind of instant refrigeration evidenced by the Siberian mammoths. He ascribed this instant freezing, however, to the action of "frozen ...

... , but all over western Europe, are choked with bones of animals, some of extinct races, others, though of the same age, of races still surviving. Osseous breccia in the valleys around Paris have been described, as well as fissures in the rocks on the tops of isolated hills in central France. They contain remnants of mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, and other animals. These hills are often of considerable height. "One very striking example" is found near Semur in Burgundy: a hill, Mont Genay, 1430 feet high is capped by a breccia containing remains of mammoth, reindeer, horse, and other animals.6 In the rock on the summit ...

... Man(1863),p . 180.] An Argonaut expedition of hippopotami from the rivers of Africa to the isles of Albion sounds like an idyll. In the Victorian cave near Settle, in west Yorkshire, 1450 feet above sea level, under twelve feet of clay deposit containing some well-scratched boulders, were found numerous remains of the mammoth, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, bison, hyena, and other animals. In northern Wales in the Vale of Clwyd, in numerous eaves remains of the hippopotamus lay together with those of the mammoth, the rhinoceros, and the cave lion. In the cave of Cae Gwyn in the Vale of Clwyd, "during the excavations it became ...
