The California La Brea Pit is a huge deposit of tar and asphalt that is used to make roads. This pit is hundreds of feet deep and filled with the bones of all kinds of animals. Some of these animals have been extinct for a long time...and some live today. We know the animals did not just fall into this pit because the bones are broken and scattered...torn apart by some huge natural force. Human bones have been found under the bones of extinct animals. All of these bones are found in water-laid asphalt.

North of Mount McKinley in Alaska, there is a huge graveyard of animals. Gold miners dug through 140 feet of frozen gravel and muck to get to their gold. They found much more than gold. They found a water-laid graveyard full of frozen animals and mangled trees. Some of the animals still had ligaments and skin. It would take a monstrous flood to leave this kind of graveyard.

In the New Siberian Islands of Russia, there are so many bones of the extinct mammoth that it seems like the islands are made of bones cemented together with sand. Mangled animals were buried among twisted, splintered tree. Some of these piles are 300 feet deep. Some of the mammoths were frozen alive and still have undigested food in their stomachs and blood in their veins. The meat of these giants was like fresh meat. These animals suffocated or drowned. It sounds like this was caused by a gigantic flood.
