Giant predatory shark fossil unearthed in Kansas

"Kansas back then was smack in the middle of an inland sea known as the Western Interior Seaway that extended in a north-south direction across North America," says Dr Shimada.

The Great Interior Seaway


All over the mountains where I live in NM, the Sangre de Cristo range, aka the southern most Rockies, there are beds rich with marine fossils, very easily discovered. They are at least 60 million years old! I have some incredible "clam" fossils, some still have a pearly glow.

6. The best shark fossils in the world come from Montana.

Most anyplace else you just get teeth and spines, since sharks are cartilaginous and don't fossilize well well, but there's a spot there where whole sharks got buried suddenly and preserved in sediment.

7. That's interesting.

What would bury them suddenly?

9. If I remember correctly, the area wasn't real geologically stable,

so there were a series of undersea landslides (I don't know if there's a better term) probably after earthquakes and such.

8. That God, what a trickster!

Fooled the evolutionists again by creating fossils where they shouldn't be, just to confuse the gullible "scientific" types! Ah haw, haw, haw!

Does it even need to be said?
