Incredible Dinosaur Treasure Trove in Italy Rewrites History, Geography, and Evolution - SciTechDaily

An adult and two juvenile individuals of the dinosaur Tethyshadros insularis showing the different appearances exhibited by immature and mature specimens in the ancient environment of Villaggio del Pescatore, the first locality in Italy preserving many dinosaur individuals of the same species.

A dinosaur trove in Italy rewrites the history, geography, and evolution of the ancient Mediterranean area.

Now, a new study published on Scientific Reports and coordinated by researchers from the University of Bologna unveils the first palaeontological site with multiple, exceptionally complete dinosaur skeletons from Italy: the Villaggio del Pescatore site, located in the Duino-Aurisina municipality, near Trieste, in north-eastern Italy.

The skeleton of Bruno, an adult individual of the dinosaur Tethyshadros insularis described in this new study.

These beautiful skeletons belong to the species Tethyshadros insularis and represent the biggest and most complete dinosaur ever found in this Country.

The team describes the skeletons of some of the most beautiful and pristine dinosaurs from the site (in particular of a new individual nicknamed “Bruno”) and highlights the occurrence of seven (probably eleven) individuals at the Villaggio del Pescatore.

The unique fossils collected from the Villaggio del Pescatore can be admired in Trieste at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, granted on deposit by the Italian Ministry of Culture.

Originally, geologists interpreted the area that today is the Villaggio del Pescatore site as part of an island in the middle of a “proto-Mediterranean” ocean called Tethys.

This supported the incorrect interpretation that the relatively small, first dinosaur skeleton found at the site (nicknamed “Antonio”), was actually a “dwarf” species, an example of the so-called “island rule” (the evolutionary miniaturization of bigger animals in an insular environment due to the scarcity of resources).

THE NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION.

ONLY LIMITED EVOLUTION (micro-evolution or evolution within biological “kinds”) is genetically possible (such as the varieties of dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc.), but not macro-evolution, or evolution across biological “kinds,” (such as from sea sponge to human).

All real evolution in nature is simply the expression, over time, of already existing genes or variations of already existing genes.

The genes for these breeds had always existed in the dog population but never had opportunity before to be expressed.

Only limited evolution, variations of already existing genes and traits, is possible.

The genes (chemical instructions or code) for a trait must first exist or otherwise the trait cannot come into existence.

Evolutionists believe that, if given millions of years, accidents in the genetic code of species caused by the environment will generate entirely new code making evolution possible from one type of life to another!

Natural selection doesn’t produce biological traits or variations.

It can only “select” from biological variations that are possible and which have survival value.

Survival of the fittest actually would have prevented evolution across biological kinds.

NEW SPECIES BUT NOT NEW DNA: Although it’s been observed that new species have come into existence, they don’t carry any new genes.

They’ve become new species only because they can’t be crossed back with the original parent stock for various biological reasons.

A biological “kind” allows for new species but not new genes.

Only limited variations and adaptations are possible in nature, and all strictly within a biological “kind” (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.).

Guliuzza’s extensive research points to a better explanation than natural selection for variation and adaptation in nature.

What about genetic and biological similarities between species.

Only genetic similarities within a natural species proves relationship because it’s only within a natural species that members can interbreed and reproduce.

Epigenetics involves inheritable factors which can turn already-existing genes on, but epigenetics doesn’t create new genes.

Most biological variations are from new combinations of already existing genes, not mutations.

At very best, mutations only produce further variations within a natural species
