An Earth-shattering Theory Copyright © Stephen Mark Alvis, 2011 Mesozoic Wonderments: How can the number of dinosaur tracks be in the billions when tracks disappear so easily? Why do we find dinosaurs with no heads at all or skulls without bodies? Did the dinosaurs perish from heat shock or drowning? What do dinosaur tracksites have to do with oil and metallic ore explorations? An expansive theory claims about 30 mighty convulsions of nature produced the geologic strata — 9 before the Mesozoic (Paleozoic strata) & 20 since the Mesozoic (Cenozoic strata), and one protracted, colossal event laying the Mesozoic strata of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. An editorial in the New Scientist (“Think Different,” 1 August 1998), asked the question: Lilimor Hubbard, “Roasting Rex” Copyright (1993) for S. M. Alvis “Is there anyone who wouldn’t love to come up with an earth-shattering theory? One that overturns established opinion, routs all opposing views and fits together the pieces of a scientific puzzle in a way that forever after seems just so obvious. A Nobel prize plus an institute named after you would be nice too. “The opportunity doesn’t arise too often. Really big, unexpected theories are pretty thin on the ground.” egiric Theory is a real earth-shattering theory. It is the key to earth history, meteor showers, Apollo Hasteroids, lunar maria and impact events, Venusian coronae and Martian topography, captured moons, and explosive episodes throughout the Solar System. The theory is comprehensive since it completely revamps the entire science of geology. Its coherence is demonstrable from its range of simultaneous phenomena emanating from the same cause—everything from radioactive dinosaur bones to ancient shorelines to fossil fuels to asteroid orbits and mountain births. Of such, BYU historian Hugh Nibley once remarked, “The less the evidence the more brilliant the theory.” Viewed in this light, it appears Hegiric Theory lacks the luster of pure imagination, surrounded as it is by a plethora of well-worn facts. Vectors of Destruction: Theoretical alignments of dinosaur tracksites, dinosaur entombments, ore-producing veins, and clusters of faults. Vectors often run for hundreds of miles and sometimes run parallel (or nearly so) to one another. The vectors indicate where plasma from explosions in the The rare 1991 edition now selling for hundreds of dollars upper mantle breach the crust. Bright flashes of radiation bursting from the earth baked dinosaur tracks, and shock waves blew them away like leaves. When plasma traveling up the faults is impeded, it fuses the country rock into veins of metal and plasma cools to quartz. The worldwide alignments of these fault clusters also influence the deposition of petroleum, where sufficient water was present in antiquity, as along A theropod track seen on Alvis’ Tuba City Expedition vanished geosynclines of the Paleozoic, epicontinental seas of the Mesozoic, and large lakes of the Cenozoic. In most cases, hegiric skyfall buried the victims and products of hegiric fusion. Because faults persist through geologic time, many were reactivated in subsequent Hegiric events, producing various levels of strata and tracksites and other deposits. Hegiric Theory is the first analysis to unite these diverse phenomena into a cohesive and consistent construct. Baking Tracks: Atop the upper boundary of the newly laid Mid-Jurassic Entrada Formation of eastern Utah and western Colorado, there are as many as 3 billion dinosaur tracks impressed into once soft sand which was baked hard and petrified. What could bake 3 billion tracks simultaneously? Scientists have often puzzled over how something so ephemeral as footprints in mud or sand could be preserved in what is now solid rock. Dinosaur track expert Martin Lockley mentions the Author treading on Jurassic Allosaurus trackway at Purgatoire, Colorado. (Time Traveler photo, Oct. 2012) traditional “cover-up” explanation of “a wet beach or mudflat” being baked “hard as cement” by sunshine, but questions its probability. “Many of the best tracks we find were made on layers of sediment freshly deposited after a flood, and it is often cool and humid after the wet weather that produces such floods.” Usually, these tracks are accompanied by ripple marks, showing that a sheet of water was flooding the flat land. Hegiric Theory proposes that these myriad footprints were baked hard by a brilliant flashes of light and petrified. The intense light came from natural, subcrustal, thermonuclear fusion explosions. In Hegiric Theory, dinosaurs roasted instantly in the flash of super-hot plasma exiting the crust, baking their tracks atop the gushy, wet sediment. Then the shock waves picked the great beasts up, flinging them as leaves before the wind. Of all the 32 tyrannosauruses uncovered from 1892 until 2001, 16 skulls are as yet unaccounted for. Decapitated dinosaurs are not the exception – they are the rule! Shock waves beheaded them. This is why most dinosaur skeletons are disarticulated, highly fractured, or even shattered. The common understanding among excavators is that “finding the head of a dinosaur is like finding a needle in a haystack (National Geographic On Assignment, ‘Lucy the T-Rex,’ 2000).” Why? Because of all dinosaur skeletons encountered, the Tyrannosaurus Rex heads have been blown off their majority are headless. Paleontologists at bodies by shock waves. Photo: Palais de la Decouverte Utah’s Dinosaur National Monument found (GNU) circled red by Jared Alvis four skulls together, one well preserved and articulated, a second disarticulated skull (but with all its pieces), just the snout from a third beast, and only the brain case of a fourth. But no bodies were in evidence. Radioactive Bones: Often, dinosaur bones are found to be radioactive. “Indeed, one way to spot Morrison Formation dinosaur bones in the West or in museums is with a Geiger counter. Hear them click—the bones are ‘hot’ (paleontologist Don Lessem, Kings of Creation, p.189).” “Dinosaur Jim” Jenson had his BYU grad students fan out with Geiger counters to hunt bones.

Conclusion: almost every big bone was shattered by were surpassing force at the time of death. – Time Traveler photo (15 August “hot,” 2013) but the rocks were not. This means the beasts were irradiated before they were buried. Otherwise, this would make detection of embedded bones by their radioactivity impossible. Paralleling the Chesapeake shoreline southward from Arundel, Maryland, to the foundations of Washington, D.C., the Arundel clay of the Potomac Group embraces Early Cretaceous dinosaurs, dug from the clay pits used for making bricks. The Arundel formation has lenses of dark clays nearly 125 feet thick, diffused with burnt carbon. “Lignitized trunks of trees are often found in upright position with their roots still intact (USGS DDS-6; Reston GNULEX).” The stuff of clay deposits is fine pulverized dust. This dark gray, red, and brown clay is packed with lignite coal, leaf compressions, and quartz sand lenses and pods. The upright trees still rooted in their original soil bespeak a forest overwhelmed by a rush of dust. Alvis holds a radioactive cervical (neck) vertebra of an Apatosaurus, found by BYU paleontologist Brooks B. Britt in the Morrison Formation That the wood turned to lignite at Dinosaur National Monument near Vernal, Utah. coal and the clay is full of carbon say it was extremely hot. Ore miners burned the lignitized logs for warmth as they worked through winters. That dinosaurs were instantly entombed is evident. Pieces of trees embedded in clay were also found by the Maine Geological Survey. “The amazing thing was that the logs were beautifully preserved because they were encased in clay,” but the white spruce trees were not petrified, and some of the twigs still bore cones and green needles. The surrounding clay was imprinted with marine shells. “The logs had broken into pieces,” and beneath the clay “was a layer of peat, which “resembled litter from a forest floor,” with a wide variety of plants and insects. Even after examinations by University of Maine Burnt bark is evident on this petrified wood found by botanists, the New York State Museum, and Meschak Tenney of Woodruff, Arizona. (Photos by Jared the Smithsonian Institute, Thompson Alvis & Chad Goldthwaite) admitted, “We had a mystery on our hands. How did the logs sink and become buried so quickly that the spruce branches didn’t even lose their needles?” Underground explosions thrown up vast amounts of pulverized rock which descends as dust. What goes up must come down, and it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the debris in the column to collapse and spread out in sheets in all directions — the base surge. Clay at Dinosaur Tracksites: These expectations were confirmed by Alvis’ Time Travelers’ expeditions to an Early Jurassic dinosaur tracksite at Tuba City, in north-central Arizona (August 2010), and another (November 2011) to a Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Dakota Group dinosaur tracksite at Clayton Lake Dam, McKinley County, about 12 miles north of Clayton, New Mexico, near the Oklahoma-Texas borders. In both cases, there was a 4-foot layer of soft clay atop the margins of the tracks. With decades scouting the same site, the Navajo owners at Tuba City told us that with rain and erosion, more tracks were being revealed by the retreating clay. Another Time Travelers’ expedition (October 2012) to the giant Jurassic dinosaur tracksite on Colorado’s Purgatoire River revealed multiple layers of hard-baked mud; and sandwiched in-between each of these Touching the clay layer above the dinosaur tracks just below horizontal layers was about 4 inches of another baked layer at Clayton Lake Dam, New Mexico.
