The fossil record also tells us that no cetaceans (dolphin, porpoise or whale) have ever been found in rock older than 65 million years. Clearly identifiable cetaceans are only found in young rocks which young earth creationists claim are post-flood in origin. From the young-earth perspective the message of the fossil record is crystal clear: there is no physical evidence that any whale or dolphin was destroyed by the Flood. At the same time, the fossil record clearly indicates that not a single sea reptile – turtles excluded – survived the Flood. Yet, here we have a depiction of both types of animals peaceably swimming below the Ark. Given what happened to both how are we to believe that the Flood would have selected one sea animal for extinction while not killing any of the other? to confuse the matter, in this portrayal of the Flood the waters under the Ark are clear and the plesiosaur has plenty to eat. And yet they all died. From this image you would think the plesiosaurs would have no problem surviving the Flood and therefore might be living in Loch Ness in Scotland.
