Marine fossils found 4000m above sea level in Peru: nice to see the sea high up there | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 29913020 United Kingdom 12/19/2012 06:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to researchnews.osu.edu] COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The latest expeditions to ice caps in the high, tropical Peruvian Andes Mountains by Ohio State University scientists may shed light on a mysterious global climate change they believe occurred more than 5,000 years ago. They hope that ice cores retrieved from two tropical ice caps there, as well as ancient plants retrieved from beneath the retreating glaciers, may contain clues that could link ancient events that changed daily life in South America, Europe and Asia. Something happened 5,200 years ago that was abrupt and very large-scale, explained Lonnie Thompson, professor of geological sciences at Ohio State and researcher with the Byrd Polar Research Center. |

Marine fossils were found 4,000 meters above sea level in the province of Caylloma, in Peru’s southern region of Arequipa, Mayor Elmer Caceres said. Forty fossils, such as winkles, shells, limpets and turtle shells were found. Caceres urged Arequipa's Regional Directorate to do some research in the area to determine scientifically the fossils' age. The exact location has not been announced yet to prevent looting. The fossils, which were discovered by a group of farmers from Caylloma, remain in the town hall and authorities expect to find a museum to display these pieces. (END) RMC/JOT/RZZ/MOC Once the ages of the fossils is known, we can then know that the moutains were under the sea at that time Once the ages of the fossils is known here's the weak link. what's the bets they'll add about 4 or 5 zeros onto the true age? |

That is because they are willingly ignorant of the Flood. Not just that but mainstream science is all purposely designed to make everyone feel comfortable, more or less. The whole idea of evolution is that geologic changes occur very slowly over time (wind and rain erosion mostly with some earthquakes thrown in for good measure). This makes people feel comfortable in their pens, the sheep must feel comfortable in their pen so they can continue their happy blissfully ignorant lives, portions of which are sheared off periodically to feed their masters. Cataclysmic geology is always ridiculed by mainstream science since it flies in the face of a "comfortable" and slowly changing world we live in. All you need to do is look carefully at our world and discoveries like this to see that this world is anything but predictable and "safe". |

MHz User ID: 25505891 Canada 12/24/2012 12:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The mountains are only about 200M years old. Look at this model of the earth and allow the water in the oceans to remain the same in volume, as the current ocean basins close up the water would be pushed up onto what we now have as dry land. From 200MYA to far previous to that the places that had not yet been uplifted would have been shallow seas. Alberta has mountains and plains, the plains are currently 2,000 ft above sea level and rather than being uplifted like the mountains on the west side, the waters receded as room was made available by the spreading oceanic rifts.
