500 Million Years of Natural History in Arkansas by Dr. Joseph Daniel

[@rossmetcalf4949]

Its really unfortunate that most of our fossils are in New York and that we don't have a whole lot of museums here. I never knew we had mammoths and giant sloths here, so it really changes my perspective on this area. We really need more funding in museums, especially with paleontology. Also, very interesting and informative lecture. While I never watched Bob Ross, it had the vibe when I watched it.

I live in the Batesville area and there is a 'mountain' near here called Jamestown Mountain and it is covered with fossils. I have fossils of lots of Crinoids, Brachiopods, Briozoans, and other fossils. I can pick up what looks to be a handful sized rock but it's solid fossils...neat. Yep, Arkansas has a very diverse Geological history. Also, some of the finest Black Marble in the world is found near Batesville...it's pure black..very few impurities in the better layers.

This was amazing! It's just what I was looking for to get a better understanding of the Geology in Arkansas. I'm in Northwest Arkansas and am glad have learned a bit about why the rocks around here are so interesting. There are lot of little seashell critters in the rocks. My dad has a fascination with nature and says it's from The Flood but it's cool to learn that this place used to be like the bahamas before the dinosaurs existed. He'll find that interesting when I tell him. Knowing this was a sandy beach type area back then makes sense for why there is so much sandstone, limestone, and shale around here. It's cool to think this sandy beach area hardened with time, was just lifted straight up into a mesa formation, and water has simply eroded it into the Ozark Mountains we see today. Part of the erosion into the limestone formed some of the neat caves found in places like Lost Valley near the Buffalo River. I have a new sense and appreciation for the rock layers found in the Ozarks. I hope this splendid idea for an Arkansas Museum of Natural History manifests. Maybe it will be in something closely aligned with Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville. Lately Northwest Arkansas gives me hope for a renewed appreciation of The Natural State.

@@selcouthconcepts there is a free app called ROCKD that can show you the rocks on the surface where you are but also has Paleo Maps 🗺️ that shows your location back in Time. If you choose 350 million years ago you’d see you’d be off the left coast, below the equator, on a vast shelf full of sea life.

Wish WalMart would fund a Arkansas museum !!!!!!

[@angelaholley5840]

I live in leslie Arkansas and I have found lots of fossilized plants and minerals in the mountains around my house

[@combatgmanofyah5813]

All the more reason to conclude there's a Supreme Creator! Great presentation..

[@tomcooper6108]

When there is proof of a creator, such as presented scientifically here, that will be the time to believe....not before.

[@ethereal72]

If you go to any Creek bank in Mountain View Arkansas. You can pick up fossils all day.

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

Cool, thanks for the tip.

[@angelaholley5840]

I've done that a lot it's fun

[@manifestingbeautifullife2187]

Great lecture! I've been looking for this specific info for a while now. I would be interested in hearing this speaker in person if you have a schedule to refer to. Thank you.

Science is awesome!

love this website!

[@redbrimdude]

I worked at a rock quarry in Hartman, lamar, and Knoxville. I saw alot of mineral deposits and weird fossil like rocks it was pretty cool

[@shermanatorosborn9688]

I can show you a large dino bone found in the middle of Hwy 71 at Springdale back in the 80's.

[@shermanatorosborn9688]

it was broken, rescued and brought home by my uncle

[@MrPhillip2]

If you listened to the lecture, NW Arkansas rock were deposited before dinosaurs existed, so it wasn’t a dinosaur.

[@shermanatorosborn9688]

@@MrPhillip2 I know where the bone is and you are welcome to analyze it. Not that I need your opinion to know what I'm looking at.

[@shermanatorosborn9688]

@@MrPhillip2 new findings have totally debunked this lecturer

[@MrPhillip2]

@@shermanatorosborn9688 I’d love to look at it. I’m just above Bentonville. The only dinosaur bones in Arkansas are in the SW part of the state (as the lecture states). I am a geologist (UofA ‘78) and have collected and studied the rocks of our state for decades. I’d like to figure out what it actually is, it could be from one of those aquatic fish like creatures he mentions. NWA has been above sea level for about 280 million years (erosion not deposition), so no rocks have accumulated here since before the time of the dinosaurs.

I know of a missing link in the education of geologists. They tell us that our planet Earth has the most to fear from an asteroid impact or volcano eruptions. But when we look at the many horizontal layers that we find everywhere on our planet, we clearly see the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books like the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Mayans and others. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters that separate the eras from the world. Certainly, regularly recurring global disasters cannot be caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. The only possible cause is another celestial body, a planet, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is close to the sun for a short period and after the crossing at a very high speed it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but it seems invisible. These disasters cause a huge tidal wave of seawater that washes over land "above the highest mountains." At the end it covers the earth with a layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of marine and terrestrial animals and small and larger meteorites. Forests that existed are flattened and because of the pressure from the layers on top the wood is changed into coal. These disasters also create a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its chronology and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

[@MrPhillip2]

Missing from geologic education because there is no scientific evidence of most of what you say. Geologists are scientists.

[@nibiruresearch]

​@@MrPhillip2 Thank you for your reply. There is no real scientific evidence for the story of geologists that tell us that the earth sinks below the sea for a hundred thousand years and rises exactly in the same horizontal plane as previous layers, strata. It is just anassumption. There are only two options: either this story or the seawater is pulled over the highest mountains for a very short period. And geologists have chosen the wrong story. Real scientists look down on you for the fairy tale you have made a dogma. I show not only evidence for the story about the recurring disasters caused by a planet, but also from its most astounding effect: the cycle of civilizations. With pictures and texts. You all should be ashamed.

Reducing a belief to something so inconsistent with what is reality and what is actually the case doesn’t prove your point, it only defeats it. Just saying.

It would be wrong for us to assign A manmade aspect of time, to God. God does not care how long it takes the Earth to go around the Sun, A-day to God good be a million or even a billion years Earth time. If we try to limit God's power,Then we will resist new discoveries.
