Hilda Bonebed Book - IAC Training Video

Our next prop we're going to look at is a book called New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs. Now this book's helpful when talking about fossils in the flood because it documents from a secular perspective a case in which a dinosaur bone bed was formed as a result of catastrophic flooding.

If you turn to page 495 in chapter 32 you can see the quotation. We infer that formation of the

Hilda Megha bone bed was initiated as more than 1 ,000 gregarious ceratopsians and other large terrestrial vertebrates drowned during a major coastal plain flooding event.

Further down it says stratigraphic and sedimentologic data and comparisons with similar bone beds at Dinosaur Provincial Park suggests that the

Megha bone bed assemblage was eventually buried during a subsequent coastal plain flooding event.

So here the evolutionists say that these dinosaurs were killed by a flood and that later they were buried by a flood. It's a helpful tool to have on hand especially if you're dealing with skeptics just to show them that even the evolutionists in some cases have looked at these fossils and say they have been formed by a catastrophic flooding.

As creationists we would look at the same evidence and we interpret it in light of the global flood. We'd say these dinosaurs were killed by the global flood and then later they were buried in sediment by the flood.
