A great mystery......whales in the desert.

<More than 2 million years ago, scores of whales congregating off the Pacific Coast of South America mysteriously met their end.>

Sea animals.......preserved fossils...very interesting.

<Maybe they became disoriented and beached themselves. Maybe they were trapped in a lagoon by a landslide or a storm.>

Amazing how often the evolutionists appeal to a local flood to explain these mysteries.

<But somehow, they ended up right next to one another, many just meters (yards) apart, entombed as the shallow sea floor was driven upward by geological forces and transformed into the driest place on the planet.>

Sea floor driven upward...driest place on the planet was under water.....vellllllllly mysterious.

<Today, they have emerged again atop a desert hill more than a kilometer (half a mile) from the surf>

Maybe there was a windstorm that blew them up the hill.

<"I think they died more or less at the same time," said Nicholas Pyenson, curator of fossil marine mammals at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Pyenson and Suarez are jointly leading the research.>

A lot of sea animals died at the same time, you say? Hmmmmmmm.

<As for why such a great number perished in the same place, Pyenson said: "There are many ways that whales could die, and we're still testing all those different hypotheses.">

I am guessing there is one hypothesis they are not testing. But scientists are for the most part intellectually dishonest.

<Pyenson said the spot was once a "lagoon-like environment" >

Water...always the water. I do declare, whatever could have caused this?

<Hans Thewissen, an expert on early whales, agreed. Another scenario, he said, is that the whales might have gathered in a lagoon and then an earthquake or storm could have closed off the outlet to the ocean.

"Subsequently the lagoon dries up and the whales die," said Thewissen, a professor of anatomy at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He said the accumulation of so many complete skeletons is "a very unusual situation.">

Very unusual, yes. The conditions for fossilization are extreme, and yet we find so many of these whales that apparently died at one time and one place.

<"If this were a lagoon that dried up, you might see signs that ocean water evaporated," such as crystallized salt and gypsum in the rock, said Thewissen, who is not involved in the research. "On the other hand, if a giant wave or storm flung the whales onto shore, it would also have pushed the ocean floor around, and you would see scour marks in the rocks.">
