On top of all of the geological context we have the types of fossils found here that must be considered. They are all extinct species of animals and most represent types of animals that do not live anywhere in Europe today. There are deer and horse-like creatures but not a single species, or even ones closely related, that we find today. Relating this back to some of my previous posts we can see some member of the early horse succession here (A horse is a horse of course: unless it isn’t a horse) including a small 3-toed “primitive horse.” The “bear dog” is a huge beast that shares features similar to bears and dogs. Creationist’s today believe that this was a unique “kind” of carnivore that existed as at least 50 different species within the past 4500 years but all those species are extinct today.
