  Let's see...

  If we're talking about icthyosaurs....

  Here's a good Wikipedia article on them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyosaur

  And here's a website from an accredited college - Berkeley... http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/science/parks/berlin_ichthyosaur.php

  Their presence in Nevada would probably be in the Triassic period's sedimentary layers.... Between 250 million and 202 million years ago...

  Apparently a branch of the Pacific Ocean reached as far inland as Nevada - er, what would eventually become Nevada, at that time...

  Let me see if I can find a description of Triassic-era Nevada...

  Here's an online book with a chapter on the icthyosaurs of Nevada...

  http://books.google.com/books?id=MuLET-5HnNkC&pg=PA155&lpg=PA155&dq=Nevada's+Triassic+landscape&source=bl&ots=unBVstnHGR&sig=_kWqQ0HW4rAPIstAVRBIzXK7u58&hl=en#v=onepage&q=Nevada's%20Triassic%20landscape&f=false

  And of course, the Watchtower boys were mis-stating the situation...

  There's MORE than one icthyosaur skeleton at that "Berlin-Ichthyosaur" state park... In fact, there are at least 14 skeletons...

  In reading the descriptions of the fossils, one or two sources have stated that they don't quite know why so many ichthyosaur skeletons were located so closely together... I'd bet it was the result of an undersea landslide or slumping of sediments on top of a small pod of ichthyosaurs...

  Hope this helps...

  Guy Pierce never in a millennium would have ever imagined anyone in the audience fact-checking his dino story.

  Only evil apostates would do that!

  Interesting info... Thanks ZID

  Ichtyosaurs were magically killed by Jehovah and buried together, that's why there are a dozen of their skeletons in one place. And of course he buried them in America, which by the way didn't existed because it's not mentioned in the Bible. So it all makes sense!

  No wonder the organization is getting dumber. Look at the leaders.

  Remember Friends!

  Don't go to college, that higher learning will infect your brain tubercules.

  All you need to know is found in the pages of the Watchtower 2011-1950 and Awake 2011-1970.

  Did you know that the newest GB member is Brother Dumas Boxorocks?

  Reminds me of kingdom school class I attended. All the elders from my hall sat in the front row, less than 5 feet from the speaker. The elder from our group who sat directly in front of the podium fell asleep at the first talk & never woke up until the end. All the speakers were DOs, Bethelites, COs & the like. What a set of balls. I admired him from that day forward.

  This whole special elite ticket thing reminds me of Dr. Seuss's Sneetches

  The Sneetches, by Dr. Seuss

  Now, the Star-Bell Sneetches had bellies with stars.
  The Plain-Belly Sneetches had none upon thars.
  Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small.
  You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.
  
  But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches
  Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches.”
  With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort
  “We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!”
  And, whenever they met some, when they were out walking,
  They’d hike right on past them without even talking.
  
  When the Star-Belly children went out to play ball,
  Could a Plain Belly get in the game? Not at all.
  You only could play if your bellies had stars
  And the Plain-Belly children had none upon thars.
  
  When the Star Belly Sneetches had frankfurter roasts
  Or picnics or parties or marshmallow toasts,
  They never invited the Plain-Belly Sneetches
  They left them out cold, in the dark of the beaches.
  They kept them away. Never let them come near.
  And that’s how they treated them year after year.
