Every species of animal which God had created were preserved in the ark. The confused species which God did not create, which were the result of amalgamation,
were destroyed by the flood. (Spiritual Gifts, vol. 3, p. 75)

Amalgamation--a combining

“The typical dinosaur anatomy is a combination of the characteristics of several vertebrate classes, including reptiles, birds, and mammals. The dinosaurs, along with many other extinct vertebrates, such as
marine reptiles, flying reptiles, and mammal-like reptiles, appear to be amalgamations of
the characteristics of different classes of vertebrates.” (David C. Neal, Dinosaurs: An Adventist View, p. 491; emphasis supplied)

“. . . there are no remains of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, or mammal-like reptiles in any layer
of rock deposited after the Flood. . . .Had dinosaurs been taken aboard the ark and
reproduced after the Flood, we would expect to find at least some of their remains in post-Flood
strata. That no such remains have ever been found is compelling evidence that the dinosaurs
were not take aboard the ark and did not survive the Flood.” (Ibid., pp. 497, 498)

Soon after the flood the race began to rapidly decrease in size, and in
length of years. There were a class of very large animals which perished at the flood. God knew that the strength
of man would decrease, and these mammoth animals could not be
controlled by feeble man. (Spiritual Gifts, vol. 4a, p. 121)

But if there was one sin above another which called for the
destruction of the race by the flood, it was the base crime of amalgamation of man and beast which defaced the image of God, and caused confusion
everywhere. (3SG, p. 64)

Scientists had hoped to obtain DNA of dinosaurs from fossils and clone them and create a Jurassic Park, but they recently gave up
on that idea. Praise God!
