Feathers Missing from 'Feathered Dinosaur' Display

The Museum of Nature & Science in Dallas is currently running an exhibit called "Chinasaurs" that features dinosaur fossils discovered in China. Some of these fossils supposedly represent transitional species from dinosaurs to birds. But these "feathered dinosaurs" appear to be missing a key feature…namely, the feathers.


Sedimentary Rock Does Form Fast!

A recent study published in Geology found that sedimentary rock can form in as little as 35 years.1,2 Before this, conventional geologists thought these types of rocks took vast amounts of time to erode, consolidate, and lithify. What they discovered along the coast of Scotland caused them to quickly change their minds.
