Fossil RecordFossils - A trace or remnant of preexisting life embedded and preserved in the earth’s crust.
Fossil Record -– A “recording” of history. – A record of the relative
times of death of preexisting life.

In most places sedimentary rock is hundreds of feet thick, and in other places there is kilometers of thickness.
Limestone exists in such vast quantities it has been used in the construction of tremendous monuments such as the pyramids and the sphinx, which are made entirely of this sedimentary rock.

Strata Formation
Layers form anytime particles are suspended in fluid then allowed to settle.

Several layers form simultaneously where sediments are flowing.

Stratified layers up to 400 feet thick formed as a result of landslides, air fall tephra, pyroclastic flow, and mudflows, during the Mt. St. Helens eruptions.

Fossilization
![Page 17: Fossils and the Flood of Noah](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681658e550346895dd85aff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Fossilizationaccording to uniformitarianism
After death, the ammonite slowly sinks to the sea floor. Scavengers feed on the fleshy body of the creature, and after only several weeks all that remains is the shell.

![Page 18: Fossils and the Flood of Noah](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081507/5681658e550346895dd85aff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Several months after death the shell gradually becomes covered with silt and sand. These layers continue to build, providing a shield around the shell and protecting it from damage. Time continues to pass and more and more layers are deposited. After a few hundred years the shell is several feet beneath the surface.

Gradually the chemicals in the shell undergo a series of changes. As the shell slowly decays, water infused with minerals passes through it, replacing the chemicals in the shell with rock-like minerals (Calcite, Iron or Silica). Over millions of years the original shell is completely replaced by the minerals and what remains is a rock-like copy of the original shell. The fossil has the same shape as the original object, but is actually rock.

Marine fossils are found on almost every mountain range in the world (Alps, Andes, etc.), and provide clear evidence that the oceans covered the continents.

Out of Place FossilsAssumption:
The last appearance of a fossil is the time when it went extinct.
The Coelacanth was thought to have gone extinct with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago until it was discovered off the coast of Madagascar.

Are Dinosaurs Mentioned in the Bible?
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. . . .
He moveth his tail like a cedar . . .
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
He is the chief of the ways of God;
Job 40:15-18

From the marrow cavity of a fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex thighbone, scientists have extracted soft tissue. The flexible tissue can be stretched (see arrow) and returns to its original form. March 2005.
Evidence of Rapid Burial
Geologists claim that fossilization requires millions of years to occur. However, many fossils have been found with fully articulated skeletons, hair, scales, feathers, and soft fleshy parts such as skin, cartilage, unborn fetuses and stomachs containing the animals' last meal.

Geological Column
Assumptions: 1) Fossil sorting is believed to
represent the history of life on earth.
2) Fossils in the lowest layers are believed to have lived before those in upper layers.
3) The first appearance of a fossil is believe to be the time when it evolved.
4) The last appearance of a fossil is believe to be the time it went extinct.
