Links to other Dinosaur research websites: ‘Dinosaurs: living evidence of a loving Creator,’an excellent and extensive website by Dave Woetzel, laid out like a dinosaurian theme park, apparently inspired by the movie Jurassic Park. It includes a lot of fascinating information not commonly available, but also covers the whole subject of dinosaurs, their extinction, Creation, the flood and the authenticity of the Bible. You could recommend this site to honest seekers with or without a scientific background, and you could spend quite some time browsing with the apatosauruses.

November 7, 2009""Dinosuar footprints" revealed in New Zealand Scientists have revealed that they believe they have found dinosaur footprints spread over six locations in the north-west of New Zealand's South Island. Up to 20 are at one site. Geological and Nuclear Science sedimentologist Greg Browne has been studying the marks for years and believes they were made by sauropods - plant-eating dinosaurs with long necks and tails, up to six metres in length and weighing several tonnes. In an interview with radio personality Kim Hill, Dr Browne said the prints were made in beach sand, then probably quickly covered by mud. "It's just a chance occurrance that they are there in the first place - almost always they'd be destroyed. In that sort of environment you've got tides, winds and currents, so the likelihood of any footprint being preserved on a beach is virtually zero." The footprints also provide the first sign that dinosaurs once roamed the South Island. New Zealand palaeontologist Joan Wiffen found the first evidence that dinosaurs had inhabited New Zealand after discovering fossil bones in Hawke's Bay in the North Island. However, no bones have yet been found in the South Island. In 1975, she found a fossil bone that turned out to be part of the vertebra of the first known terrestrial dinosaur from New Zealand - a theropod, a carniverous creature 7 metres long and 2 metres high that walked on two legs. New Zealand has a high concentration of marine repitile fossils, such as plesiosaur and mosasaur. Dr Browne has made silicon moulds of several of the prints and his paper describing the discovery will appear shortly in the New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics. Copyright photos may be found on Radio New Zealand's webiste here, but they may quickly vanish. 30 October, 2009 Two pliosaurs and a tiny dinosaur Palaeontologists have had a good year as they have announced the discovery and assembly of pliosaur bones from the Norwegian Islands of Svalbard and the English coast near Weymouth and a tiny dinosaur in Canada. Dorset pliosaur The recent discovery was announced in March this year of a pliosaur lower jaw and upper skull, found by a local collector, Kevan Sheehan. Mr Sheehan assembled 25 pieces of fossilised bone over five years, excavated with his bare hands over five years, returning daily to the task.He had spotted the fossils protruding from an erosion landslide on the Dorset coast, where other fossils are being constantly exposed. This pliosaur was an extinct, meat-eating ocean-going reptile, of about 12 tons (11 metric tonnes) with a huge skull, short neck and four flippers. The head is twice as big as that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Richard Forrest, a palaeontologist and plesiosaur expert, says the animal was enormously powerful, with a jawbone the strength of steel and jaws able to bite a small car in half. "It would take a human in one gulp," he told the BBC (picture, below).  People who dismiss the historical work attributed to Jonah could compare what he said with what Mr Forrest said. See the Bible, the book of Jonah Chapter 1 verse 17.  Svalbard pliosaur The remains of the Svalbard reptile was an estimated at 15 metres long and 45 metric tonnes in weight. A partial skull filled with a set of 12-inch (31-cm) teeth was recovered, with 20,000 other bone fragments. Said Espen Madsen Knutsen, one of the Oslo University discovery team: "This is really big. We have parts of the lower jaw that are huge compared with anything we've ever seen. It could have eaten anything it came across." Researchers spotted the remains in 2007 when they were excavating a smaller pliosaur, and returned in August 2008 to excavate. Tiny dinosaur At the other end of the scale, Canadian researchers have announced the smallest-ever discovered carnivorous dinosaur about the size of a small chicken, with a sickle claw on its second toe. This has been called Hesperonychus, found in the Dinosaur Park Formation site in 1982, but lain unstudied for 25 years. The pliosaur reports are full of speculation about the age of the dinosaurs, based on evolutionary conjecture. In the opinion of this website they are not credible, given the written history of the world in the old history book called today the Bible, a history written by eye-witnesses. August 6, 1998— Scientists have discovered the world’s largest collection of dinosaur footprints in Bolivia.Footprints up to three feet long were found in a limestone quarry, including one of a dinosaur estimated to be over 80 feet high. ‘There is no comparable site in the world,’ said Swiss paleontologist Christian Meyer. His team has been studying the site for the last two months, after a Bolivian scientists found it two years ago. Skeletons have also been found. The area is situated in a limestone quarry, with the prints embedded in the mountainside, at inclines of up to 70 degrees. The prints are whole and look like the dinosaurs might have been walking in a mud lake. Dinosaur experts are expected to converge on the area to study the remarkable collection. Scientists have identified several different species including it is thought a tyranosaurus. Dinosaur skeletons have been uncovered, including one or two giant dinosaurs which stood more than 80 feet high. Remains of fish, crocodiles and turtles have been found too. Scientists have warned that the prints could disappear altogether within 20 years because of rain and wind if efforts are not made to protect them from erosion and destruction. Limestone mining nearby makes the area even more precarious. Scientists are calling on the Bolivian Government to make sure it is protected. Source: BBC. A book for serious dinosaur researchers
Five Creationist websites:
http://www.christiananswers.net Why a page about dinosaurs? We believe that God created dinosaurs along with all the other animals living and extinct. We believe, therefore, that dinosaurs lived on Earth at the same time as early Mankind, that they were taken on board the Ark of Noah, saved from the Flood, and released into the world when the Ark touched land again. Because of many accounts of dinosaur-like animals in the Bible and secular literature throughout the ages we believe that dinosaurs are barely exinct, if at all. The Loch
Ness Monster, for example, is thought by many to be a colony of plesiosaurs*.
So we take any contemporary sightings seriously, until disproven. When evidence
of living dinosaurs is presented to science, the theory of evolution, introduced
in modern times by Darwin and used by haters of God as an alternative philosophy,
will be dealt what should be a death blow. We could pray that God would
present science with evidence of living dinosaurs it cannot reasonably deny.
We realise that only the Holy Spirit of God can convince anyone of God’s
existence, and their need of the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, but many
people have been set on the right track by creation evidence, later to be
converted to Christ. *One expert, John Kirk, says, however, that this is impossible since plesiosaurs are or were air breathing, and would need to surface frequently, generating many more sightings than what is the case.
