Recently, dinosaur fossils have come from an area in China, nicknamed “‘Chinese Pompeii’ because it was assumed the animals had been killed by volcanic gases and buried at the same time under clouds of ash from erupting volcanoes.” It turns out that they were buried by water-laid volcanic sediments. One researcher said, “It was difficult to distinguish the water-carried ash from airfall ash.”[i]
So here we have secular archaeologists admitting yet another example of fossils being preserved due to a catastrophic (even if “small”) water event. This is exactly what we would expect and I would predict that further research and data from this site would continue to confirm a catastrophic, worldwide event!
