I ran across this story and thought I would share it and give some opinion about it.
The back story is is pretty simple and believable.
Some miners were looking for diamonds and found this mummified creature deep in the mine. Reportedly the unknown creature was found in a sandy layer that dates from the Mesozoic, which would date the creature between 252 and 66 million years.
The creature, as seen in the picture, is described as being small with big teeth. The thought is that the creature became naturally mummified or preserved due to being buried and the surrounding conditions.
According to the report scientist are now trying to find out exactly what this creature might be. Some have suggested that it could be some kind of dinosaur while others have speculated that it some kind of ferret. To me, it could possible be a mink or something from the weasel family. It appears to have a tail.
Of course, this could all very well be nothing more than a hoax but it looks pretty real to me. If I was guessing I would say that it is actually a known animal and that the scientist will be able to find out what it is....but we probably will never hear about it.
Thanks

My biggest problem with scientific studies of ancient creatures is the age of which they state the creature actually lived. The creature above is stated to be (maybe) between 252 and 66 million years! Really?! Look at the condition in which this creature was found. Then try to fathom the amount of time, we are to imagine, in years, months and days that 252 to 66 MILLION years actually is. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...no human brain can comprehend that amount of time. That raises a credibility question about those that came up with these numbers. Here's a question: Could it be that such enormous numbers were conceived to boggle the mind so much, that no one would dare question the science behind the numbers or how they were calculated? An obvious question: How were these remains able to survive this long without completely desolving or breaking down to nothing but dust? Then, ask yourself again, can I actually perceive 252 to 66 million years?
ReplyDeleteTrue questions.
Deleteit is likethey not able to understand, that these creatures can also dig deep..
and if human is found 300 meters underground in next 5000 years, would be pretty weird to think, that they should use the ground hypotetical age to date the bonnes
