Ever build a sand castle on the beach? What happens to it eventually? The tide and waves carry it away. But some how over a 10,000 year period 6 to 9 million years ago a few dozen whales washed up on shore but we're some how left completely intact...
Yeah, your an idiot, and so are those who think that carcass can wash up on a shore line and remain completely intact. The constant washing of waves would scatter those bones over hundreds if not thousands of miles till they eroded Into dust or were carried out to sea.
The only way a complete carcass/skeloton can be found is if the carcass is deposited in fossil zing material and left undisturbed for a very long long time. That can't happen on a sea shore.
I'm sorry, I know this question has some weird connotations, but... were you there?
Because, see, if you weren't? Then you have no idea what the environmental setup was at the time, no idea what kind of tidal effects would be in play, no idea... actually, have you ever seen whale bones? They're kinda big, and heavy. The reason whales float is the buoyancy of their blubber, not their bones. Some kinds of whale bones can float on their own, but not the majority.
So! To be clear: despite the firm declarative statements you're making, you don't know how the environment was at the time, you don't know how voluminous the tides were, and you certainly don't understand the biomechanics of whales, because when a whale beaches itself, the tides don't just sweep it back out, even though at that time it has the thing that makes it buoyant... which it doesn't when it decays.
Not a great basis for the certainty you're expressing, there.
So waves and tides... None existent for at least a 10,000 year period? Let me ask is it just localized in just this area or does the moons gravity not create waves and tides for the whole planet?
