>Dinosaur footprints can survive 65 million years
They're literally laughing at you.
It is physically impossible for a single footprint, let alone many footprints, to remain undisturbed for even a week in nature, but they want you to believe a dinosaur footprint can survive for millions of years.
Not even a concrete sculpture lasts that long in outdoor conditions. Paleontology is a fucking scam.
>what is a footprint in mud
I have a bowl in my fridge that contains a tuna mornay i cooked in 2010. Given the right conditions some things can last a long time!
Do you even fossilized bro?

>mud
Go out and test it for yourself. Check back in a month and see if your footprint is still there.
you must show us this mystical tuna

Much of it is. Bones can survive a very long time, given the right circumstances.
Don't believe him, it's an old australian trick called the 'timeless tuna'.
Don't look further into it or you'll become a nog.
So the dinobro stepped in bud then within a short period of time the mud was covered in something that preserved it for 65 million years without disturbing it? Fossilization takes a long fucking time.
So just the dent of a single foot, not the entire body? Stop pulling explanations out of your arse.
god damn it
>Fossilization takes a long fucking time
not under the right circumstance. toothing stone is calcified, aka fossilized, plaque. it doesn't take long for that to form.
Fossilization occurs when something is covered over and cut off from oxygen in a low acidity environment then over millions of years it hardened
Now somebody has to post the really old thread of the guy who lived in filth and showed his fridge...forget which board; been here too long.
>what is a fossil
Creationist dipshits on pol??
They typically happen in what were otherwise arrid region (eg after a flash floods). The footprint dries in the sun, hardens and is filled with alluvial (wind-blown) sediment. Mudstone hardens over time to great extent. Eventually gets exposed again via wind or water action millions of years later.
There are delicate ripple surfaces preserved in rock in a similar way that are hundreds of millions to billions of years old.
i read a science book about this. the most likely reason for dinasaur footprints to be able to fossilize is in a flat earth scenario where water drains directly down in the impression. in a round earth scenario the water would drain at a slight angle which would gradually erode the topicals
So nothing else came along and trode on that exact spot the footprint was? No floods, no earthquakes, no landslides, no storms, no shifting in the earth of any kind? It remained absolutely still as if it were in a vacuum for millions of years?

No, it's a trace fossil. The footprint is created and then rapidly buried by new sediment, preserving it and eventually becoming rock.
In a sphere straight down is not at an angle you complete brainlette.
I think your getting it now
