Serious Evidence
The Acambaro Dinosaurs- Yet More Hard Evidence
Waldemar Julsrud, a German hardware merchant in Acambaro, Mexico, was riding his horse on the lower slope of El Toro (The Bull) Mountain on a sunny morning in July, 1944. Suddenly, he spotted some partially exposed hewn stones and a ceramic object
half buried in the dirt.
..........................
Among the thousands of artifacts excavated were items that turned Julsrud’s mansion into “the museum that scared scientists.” Sculpted in various colors of clay were figurines of dinosaurs, various races of people: Eskimos, Asians, Africans, bearded Caucasians, Mongols, Polynesians, and objects that had cultural connections with the Egyptians and Sumerians as well as others.
Dr. Ivan T. Sanderson was amazed in 1955 to find that there was
an accurate representation of the American dinosaur Brachiosaurus, almost totally unknown at that time to the general public. Sanderson wrote about this particular dinosaur in the Julsrud Collection, “This figurine is a very fine, jet-black, polished-looking ware. It is about a foot tall. The point is it is an absolutely perfect representation of brachiosaurus, known only from East Africa and North America. There are a number of outlines of the skeletons in the standard literature but only one fleshed out reconstruction that I have ever seen. This is exactly like it.”
The collection at its largest numbered thirty-three thousand five hundred figurines including musical instruments, masks, idols, tools, utensils, statues, faces of races from many nations, and dinosaurs.
In 1968, Charles Hapgood returned to Acambaro accompanied by Earle Stanley Gardner, whose detective mysteries became the basis for the famous Perry Mason television programs. Mr. Gardner, trained in criminology and a past investigator of archaeological problems, was himself supremely impressed with the vastness and variety of the collection. It was quite clear that Mr. Gardner considered the theory of the collection being fakes completely asinine.
The radiocarbon 14 method of dating was still in its infancy, but Hapgood acquired specimens for C-14 testing. Gardner and Andrew Young (inventor of the Bell Helicopter) financed the testing. Hapgood submitted the samples to the Laboratory of Isotopes, Inc in New Jersey. The results were as follows:
Sample No. 1: (I-3842) 3590 + - 100 (C. 1640 B.C.)
Sample No. 2: (I-4015) 6480 + - 170 (C. 4530 B.C.)
Sample No. 3: (I-4031) 3060 + - 120 (C. 1110 B.C.)
The radiocarbon dates of up to 4,500 B.C. for Carbon on the ceramics would make the collection the oldest in the Western Hemisphere.
In 1972, Arthur Young submitted two of the figurines to Dr. Froelich Rainey, the Director of the Pennsylvania Museum for Thermoluminescent Dating. The MASCA Lab had obtained themoluminescent dates of up to 2,700 B.C. In a letter dated September 13, 1972, addressed to Mr. Young, Dr. Rainey said,
. . .Now after we have had years of experimentation both here
and at the lab at Oxford, we have no doubt about the dependability
of the thermoluminescent method. We may have errors of up to
5-10% in absolute dating, but we are no longer concerned about
unexpected bugs that might put the whole system in doubt. I should
also point out, that we were so concerned about the extraordinarily
ancient dates of these figures, that Mark Han in our lab made an
average of 18 runs on each one of the four samples. Hence, there
is a very substantial bit of research on these particular pieces . . .
All in all the lab stands on these dates for the Julsrud material,
whatever that means in terms of archaeological dating in Mexico, or in terms of “fakes verses authentic pieces”.
But when the lab at the University of Pennsylvania found out that dinosaurs were part of the collection, they conducted a retest and retracted the hermoluminescent dates as invalid. They came up with a ridiculous assertion that the ceramics gave off regenerated light signals and could be no more than thirty years old. A thermoluminescent technician admitted that no other ceramics existed, in his experience, that produced regenerated light signals, and no other thermoluminescent dating of ceramics had ever been done by utilization of a regenerated light signal. In short, the testing was a hocus pocus laboratory trick to avoid the obvious conclusion that dinosaurs and man lived together. John Tierney demonstrated the phoniness of the University of Pennsylvania’s thermoluminescent test. Tierney had two fragments of Julsrud-type ceramics excavated at El Toro Mountain in Acambaro, and in 1956, in Julrud’s presence, Tierney submitted these pieces to Dr. Victor J. Bortolet, Director of Research at Daybreak Nuclear/Archaeometrics Laboratory Services for dating. Dr. Bortolet determined the pieces’ upper limit of age to 2,000 years old. He definitely demolished the MASCA Report of the objects being made thirty or even a hundred years ago

Perhaps the same reason bull sharks do it, as well as crocodiles. Not odd behavior when you look at other large ocean predators who have the ability to cross over from salt to fresh water, and do so often.

According to a report in Papua New Guinea’s The Independent newspaper, a ‘dinosaur-like reptile’ was seen on two occasions in the Lake Murray area, in Western Province.
On December 11, 1999, villagers travelling in a canoe reported seeing the creature wading in shallow water near Boboa. The following day, a Seventh Day Adventist pastor and a church elder say they saw the animal not far from the first sighting. The creature was described as having a body ‘as long as a dump truck’ and nearly two metres wide, with a long neck and a long slender tail. It was walking on two hind legs ‘as thick as coconut palm tree trunks’, and had two smaller forelegs. The head was similar in shape to a cow’s head, with large eyes and ’sharp teeth as long as fingers.’ The skin was likened to that of a crocodile, and the creature had ‘largish triangular scoops on the back.’
So what did these eyewitnesses really see? The description does not seem to fit any species known to live on the earth today. However, its large size and crocodile-like skin certainly bring images of dinosaurs powerfully to mind.
The circumstances in which it was encountered are strikingly reminiscent of the river-dwelling sauropod-like animal known as mokele-mbembe, whose sightings in the vast, remote swamps of Africa’s Congo region have led even some evolutionist scientists to speculate that dinosaurs may still be living in the world today.
This is despite the recent discovery of the living Wollemi pine tree, also believed, from fossils, to have been extinct since the ‘dinosaur age’.

There is absolutely no evidence of tunnels linking Loch Ness to the sea - and the whole geology of the region makes it impossible.
During the ice age Loch Ness was buried in ice - indeed, it was a glacier which carved out the deep trench in which the loch lies. The sea has never seen encroached that far inland.
The only was Nessie's ancestors could have got there is by swimming up river after the end of the ice age. So why?
On the other hand, we do know that eels swim up the Ness and eunuch eels can grow very large indeed, especially in cold bodies of water like Loch Ness.
Congratulations people we made it in the ATS news section:
3. Every time I try to follow links and verify the OP I get led to some crap creationist site. Where are the photos of the elephants that time forgot?

The artwork demonstarted above, represents what appears to be a dinosaur similar to a T-Rex. It maybe hard to see, so a more of a disection needs to be done:

Many of those species never went through Mexico at ANY time
