Q&A: How did the birds in sedimentary rock become fossils?

How did the birds in sedimentary rock become fossils?
An animal/bird must be covered with mud to become a fossil in sedimentary rock, right? If the flood was local, wouldn’t the bird simply fly to another tree and wait for the water to go down. The fossils of the birds that I have seen have all been arched back death stretch fossils. In other words, they are posed like they died in the mud. What would cause that?

There is a science section. Legitimate science inquiries go there. Nutty ramblings by creationists who think they know more than actual scientists go here.

Or it could have been wounded by a predator, and lost most of its strength trying to get away, and then struggling in the mud.

Are you trying to prove the flood? Why didn’t they all just stand atop the boat?


Whacked down by very heavy rain - ouch!!!


death comes from many reasons and dead birds dont fly away from local mud deposits anymore


They volunteered so future generations would know about them.
