I was visiting my brother in Elizabethton, Tenn. and went to the fossil site before the museum was built. At that time visiters could stand feet away from a RHINO being dug out of the earth, with a rope separating me form the "rhino pit". I got to question Dr. Wallace several times. This "sinkhole" was so huge, it's going to take them "over 100 years" to dug all the animals out. So far they found an ancient species of elephant, rhinos, gators, "short nosed" bears etc. It is truely fascinating.
i live in the Gray area.. and my class went on a field trip there last year and this year.. to me its only exciting when u go once i didnt really enjoy it the 2nd time. but what i did like was when we learned about astronomy. that was interesting. my favorite animal there is the red panda!.
This is very close to where we live. We were on the news coverage many times as they used the same footage over and over. This area was practically a death trap right up till they discovered it. Many car wrecks had happened in that exact spot. Many young lives were lost or devastated at that exact location, which is right beside Daniel Boone High School.
I love earth history, and being a Tennessean myself, I enjoy finding fossils of sea shells in the woods around here right beside fossilized plant life and fish bones. The sad thing is that these people still teach the lie that they're millions of years old when they're not.
And the dinosaurs were not here millions of years ago. The earth itself is not even close to being over a million years old.
I'm a geology minor at ETSU and therefore am rather familiar with the fossil site. It's definitely from the late Myocene era, which occurred at the end of the last ice age. No, there are no dinosaurs at the fossil site (nor will there ever be any found there) but this site IS millions of years old. Check your geologic Earth History facts.
Hi, nice to meet you. Given what I've learned, I have to stand by what I said. You see, I don't believe in any of the evolutionary steps except micro-evolution. That's a fact, while the others are simply unproven.

I have a fossil that I recently discovered while digging behind my home. It looks like a vertebrae. And it's about the size of my palm.

If I may ask, why is that so sad? What makes you so certain?
