This event reaffirmed the role of Christian researchers in sharing the biblical perspective of origins while engaging in their lines of scientific and academic pursuit
Devonian Fish
Several major groups of fishes appear in Upper Silurian and Devonian rocks without a clear lineage of ancestral transitional forms. Significant disparity is observed between these species and those found in lower strata.
Coconino Sandstone
The Coconino Sandstone is a Permian Formation preserved in northern Arizona (USA). Learn more about this unit and the fossil trackways found in its layers from the specimens hosted in the GRI collections.

Stops and Turns: Uncommonly Preserved Theropod Locomotive Behavior Patterns in an Upper Cretaceous Tracksite from Torotoro National Park, Bolivia
The majority of dinosaur trackways that have been described in the literature represent walking individuals following mostly straight paths. Thus, any trackways that deviate from this pattern are of interest because they indicate behavior that is not usually preserved at most tracksites. This recent paper, based on a research project in Bolivia funded by the Geoscience Research Institute, documents several of these uncommon trackways.
Theropod Swim Traces in the Santisol Tracksite (Lower Cretaceous), Cameros Basin, La Rioja, Spain
Dinosaur swim traces are less common than dinosaur footprints in the geologic record. This paper, coauthored by Dr. Raul Esperante and funded by the Geoscience Research Institute, documents the discovery of three such swim traces in a previously known tracksite in Spain.
