Abstract

Hundreds of skeletons of animals have been found in northeastern Nebraska, in an area known as Ashfall Fossil Beds State Park. The fossils are of various kinds of extinct and extant animals, including rhinoceroses, horses, camels, deer, birds, and turtles. The uniformitarian interpretation of the bone bed suggests that the animals were entombed by ash from a volcano that erupted in the region of Idaho approximately 1000 miles away during the Miocene Epoch. However, we interpret the bone bed and associated stratigraphy as a post-Flood/Ice Age paleoenvironment that was destroyed by volcanic ash and later covered by fluvially-deposited sediments no more than a few thousand years ago. We believe that the skeletal evidences found at Ashfall Fossil Beds State Park reflect catastrophic conditions that occurred within the time frame of the young-Earth Flood model. (The names of various uniformitarian geological ages are used in this paper for reference, but we do not accept the presumed long ages and evolutionary assumptions.)
