Remember too, that for evolutionists, fossils are always the final determiner for the age of any and all rock layers. I hope you can see the circular reasoning involved here. This is because the K/T Boundary, by definition, represents the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs. From my research it seems that the most important determining factor for identifying the K/T Boundary is that no dinosaur fossils can be found above the boundary layer. It seems to vary in makeup and color from location to location. The reason for documenting these observations is to point out that the K/T boundary evidently cannot easily be determined just by looking at it. For photo 3: the colors of the layers are pinkish brown/ black/brown.For photo 3: the colors of the layers are light brown/ black/black.For photo 2: the colors of the layers are light gray/dark brown/light brown.For photo 1: the colors of the layers (in the order K/T layer/then layer above/then layer below) are light brown/black/light gray.The K/T layers are all relatively thin but not all have a measured thickness noted.In each example photo the sandwiched K/T layer itself, the layer above the K/T layer, and the layer below the K/T layer, all are hardened rock.In the above four examples we can observe the following: I will say that I believe I have seen other layers in the rock record similar to these that were not identified to be attributed to the so-called extinction event-at least to my knowledge. K/T Boundary section from Garfield County, Montana K/T Boundary section from Hell Creek formation in MontanaĤ. K/T Boundary section from Wyoming, (credit Eurico Zimbres)ģ. K/T Boundary section from Alberta, CanadaĢ. Usually they also identify the photos as representing the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.ġ. The four photos immediately below this paragraph are identified, by those who took them, as being of the K/T Boundary. I have seen photographs that are identified as showing the K/T Boundary. I personally have never actually seen the K/T Boundary in the rock record. Fossils: Description & Interpretation within a Biblical Worldview, p.Discovering the Animals of Ancient Oregon, pp 92-104.The Creation Dialogues-2 nd Edition, pp.For example, see in books I have written, as follows: I have written previously at some length that the Geologic Column and its interpretive cousin the Geologic Timeline do not represent observable reality, but are instead mental abstractions developed by evolutionists to attempt to sell the idea of organic macroevolution in the rock record. I will use K/T in this article since this terminology is more commonly seen in the existing literature. To confuse things even more the “powers that be” fairly recently renamed the boundary to K/Pg to represent the separation between the Cretaceous Period and the Paleogene Period. If you look at the chart above you can see that there are other periods that start with the letter ‘C’ so the boundary is K/T instead of C/T. The basis for the name of this marker as the K/T Boundary is that it also separates the Cretaceous Period from the Tertiary Period in the Geologic Column. This “marker” is said to be something that can be actually seen in the rock record* and separates the Mesozoic Era from the Cenozoic Era of the evolutionary Geologic Column.Ī Representation of the Geologic Column Mental Abstraction It is defined as a physical marker for an ancient extinction event in earth history. According to evolutionists, the K/T Boundary is a known geologic, physical, reality. Lately, I have been trying to wrap my head around the concept of the K/T Boundary.
