The percentage of found fossilized animals is really low compared to, say, clams.
The reason for this would be the fact that dead animals would tend to float and be consumed by water creatures within the year that the earth was covered.
Only those that were rapidly buried would be preserved.
Yes. Flowing water and debris will always twist the neck up, never to the side and never down. In biblical physics.
And “billions of years physics” accounts for this “always twisting up” somehow?
Is it because they lay there for “boooooolllions” of years that the fossil twists up that way?
Nope. If you’d bothered to read the article, you’d know that the strong ligaments on the tops of the necks and tails arch the skeletons up when the countervailing muscles and gravity aren’t holding them down.
What kind of “actual” scientist are you again?
You could also infer that once the animal is “cast in concrete” (buried) any posture would be pretty much locked in.
As an exercise, estimate for me the time between death and burial. Reconcile your answer with a global flood.
