Antarctica—Dinosaurs on Ice Clues to Extreme Change

 

[An excerpt Antarctica—Dinosaurs on Ice Clues to Extreme Change by Buddy Davis] "The words dinosaur and ice just don’t seem to go together. Dinosaurs and forests, yes. But not dinosaurs and ice. Yet the discovery of dinosaur fossils in Antarctica forces us to ask what extreme changes caused heat-loving dinosaurs to wind up on this ice-covered continent.


I had the privilege of hunting dinosaur fossils in the Arctic Circle of Alaska. Even in the summer months, it could get very cold. As miserable as I sometimes felt, however, I can’t imagine the challenges of those who dig fossils on the opposite side of the world—Antarctica...

There is good evidence that Antarctica was connected to Australia. For example, several geological details line up when these two continents are put back together. Yet the ocean floor between them does not have these features, indicating that the continents split apart.

If these continents were once joined but moved a great distance, Antarctica must have been closer to the equator, even if Australia moved farther, as the evidence is currently interpreted.

The mysteries of Antarctica challenge us to do more research on this mysterious continent and the fossils found there. The effects of the global Flood and the clues it provides will lead us to a better understanding of the pre- and post-Flood world of the Antarctic, and the dinosaurs that lived there..." full text:  Antarctica—Dinosaurs on Ice Clues to Extreme Change, Answers Magazine.
