Living Fossil Found AGAIN...Thought Dead 60 Million Years Ago.

I love cryptozoology. What continues to amaze me is how scientists keep finding animals they thought were extinct since the time of the dinosaurs. There's no telling what's survived we don't know about.

Haha I love it how they always find these 60 kabzillion supposed year old creatures alive and well. Perhaps the earth isnt really 60 trazillion years old. :winkwink:

Perhaps our dating techniques are all fucked up too.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Maybe there is a TRex living fossil somewhere.

Bet it would be good with some cocktail sauce.

If they were good enough for Fred Flintstone they're good enough for me. Get out the shrimp sauce!

looks tasty

The Asians will suck them up and it will be extinct again in no time

I cant wait until they bring back the dinosaurs. I'm going to buy one for a pet.

Surprisingly, not long ago scientists found soft tissue to a T Rex. That means some if not alot of DNA is available for sequencing. It was a remarkable find to say the least. Whether the DNA recovered is viable enough to clone or whether there's enough complete DNA data hasn't beed disclosed yet.

You do NOT want to clone one and let it loose. Those animals were highly aggressive hence the lesson regarding Jurassic Park. If you think Crocs and Alligators and Komodo Dragons can kick ass, can you imagine what a T Rex or Velociraptor could do?

Dont tell me, you believe its 6000 yrs old because thats what the bible says ?

owkay! how did they come with that kind of theory when they say that was 60 mil years ago?

Of course he does he agress with George Bush about everything. He's also a member of the Flat Earth Society. Fact is the earth is over 4 billion years old FACT. Jesus freak please explain why Genesis mentions small things like birds and bugs, but not DINOSAURS. hmmmmm. Oh wait let me guess, dinosaurs are fake too, right?

[QUOTE=stickyfingerzdotnet]Haha I love it how they always find these 60 kabzillion supposed year old creatures alive and well.

For real I would like to know that shrimp/lobsters secret :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That's a crazy shrimp! Looks like a small lobster :)

I love how they find these living extinct things and kill it, so they can study it.

[QUOTE=Warning Pages]The creature itself is not 60 million years old you twit.

I just love reading this reply over and over and over. It gets funnier every time.

The best line in the article..

With the Coral Sea discovery, "the group is less completely extinct than was thought," he said.

I always thought extinction was like a yes or no sort of thing.

Amazing find.

[QUOTE=GatorB]hhhmm seems some people don't what sarcasm is when it hit's them in the face

I eat those by the bucket with shrimp sauce. A few more years and they'll be all gone.

Because in those days, the Greeks and such would dig up bones from wooly mammoths and such, and make myths about them. Like the Cyclops was believed to have been inspired by the unearthing of a mammoth skull. The trunk hole in the center of the "face" was believed to be the single eye socket. They'd find things like mammoth leg bones and think it was giants. No idea they were dinosaurs. So the men who wrote stories like in the bible had no clue they should include dinosaurs in their own creation myths.

[QUOTE=GatorB]Umm according to the scientists that found fossils of the creature it DID go extinct 60 million years ago. Not been around for 60 million years, but went EXTINCT 60 million years ago. So that same exact species would in fact be OLDER than 60 million years old. Then they find soft tissue of a trex.... :uhoh Sure.... These scientists got it down. :thumbsup I know lots of soft tissue that can survive 60 million years. Yet I have to throw out meet that is in my refrigerator for more than 6 months because it starts going bad.. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Not saying what I believe, but there was a creature called a behometh clearly mentioned in the bible. A great large beast. :winkwink:

Interesting find

and here is a picture of the Fossil taking a picture of himself with part of the crew that found him

Interesting find.

Anywhere i can read more about it?

Its quite ugly though. You think it had no way of defending itself so it just scared other animals away?

I think my point was and as you point out is the MYTHS part. Anyone that think the Earth is only 6000 years old and not billions is an idiot in my book. I don't get people that always doubt science, but believe a book that was written by HUMANS( with agendas of their own ) THOUSANDS of years ago and believe every word of it without question.

Lol you say that in a thread where science was obviously completley wrong. :winkwink:

We have the same book:)

You should try Adult Friend Finder.. it worked for me

hmmm.. im allergic to shrimps

Happens all the time... goes to show you how little we know when we talk about what existed, how they existed, and when they existed.

T Rex soft tissue discovery

Good grief some people hop to conclusions pretty damn fast despite having hardly any relation what so ever.

We find a species previously thought extinct and wham it must mean that the earth is not as old as what scientists believe.

Lets jump back to what is known as reality for a moment. We know very little about our own oceans. Almost all of it is still very unexplored and the vast majority of it any at depth is still highly unknown to science. That combined with the fact that the oceans take up the majority of the earths surface space. We actually know more about the moon than we do our own oceans or even what lies beneath the earths dirt of about anything more than a mile down or so aside from a few core samples drilled.

Now understanding that small tidbit and that we do know more about say for instance the moon. We do know that the moon was formed during a planetary collision between the earth and another planet. (see the moon rock studies and so forth) This collision liquefied earth and the shattered remains and dust that remained in space yet in earths orbit eventually formed the moon. This is also what put earth on its tilted axis. Now we know it takes a lot longer than 6000 years let alone a few hundred thousand years for the moon to take shape and cool off to a solid rock formation. Then even when it did cool off the moon was a lot closer to earth than it is now. (you think we have big waves and tides now). At this time the earth was spinning a great deal faster than it currently is (again due to collision). The gravitational pull of the moon and the friction of the oceans crossing land eventually slowed the earths spin down to the one rotation every twenty four hours that it is currently at. Because of the spinning effect the moon naturally was slowly being flung further into space (centrifugal force and all). We also know that the moon travel about a half an inch away from the earth per year (check NASA for details). For the moon to have reached its current location that it is at (still moving away) it would again take additional tens if not hundred of thousands of years. That little part puts the 6000 year idea out the window.

Using that alone we have gone way past 6000 years and well the earth still would not be that habitable for anything more than microscopic life at best due to its climate. We still have to wait for more developed life to appear, then for life to leave the oceans, then everything else leading up to the impact near what is known as Mexico that wiped out the dinosaurs (look up shocked quartz). We still have a great deal more time to wait for the earliest ancestors of man to start roaming about and an ice age or two. Fast forward many tens of thousands of years and walla some of our ancient ancestors of yet still a different species of man started uses rudimentary tools and fire. Eventually they will have died off or we done killed them all when our species took over yet the ruled the roost for a great deal of time, longer than our species alone has walked this planet including up to today. That 6000 years was just a blink of an eye compared to what has transpired so far.

Don't trust carbon dating, then just look into arctic ice core samples, they also give a very long history of the earth, season by season, year by year.

Wonder if it taste like chicken ;)
