My Backyard Research Paper
Argument 1
I believe that there may of been dinosaurs in my backyard because where my house sits at this time it was under water thousands of years ago so there would of been water type dinosaurs. When i go to the beach there are fossils from water dinosaurs in the rocks on the cliff face so that shows that there was dinosaurs in the area. because my house would have been under water there would be fossils like the ones on the beach.
Any single person can go to the beach and see rocks that have bones or other fuels on the side of them.
I have evidence to support my belief from the cliffs at the beach and the large amounts of water in my area that hake sedimentary rocks by sand and mud.

Most dinosaurs bones were found in large deserts but my backyard may of been a desert thousands of years ago by my house also many dinosaurs were found in badlands of australia which may of also been my backyard then if not under water.

There will be dinosaurs bones anywhere you go pretty much so there is a very high chance that there will be bones in my backyard. It's important so that the archaeologist can keep a tally on where and how many fossils there are in the area. There are sedimentary rocks in my area also large water sources so that will form sedimentary

An archaeologist could have mixed up the bones and given the Neanderthal a characteristic of life that isn’t accurate to them. This could be the case for any fossil that isn’t easily identifiable and archaeologists have to use their “imaginations.”…

Darwin states” I see no good reasons why the views given in this volume should shock the religious views of anyone.” (1859, pp. 520)…
