Just when you think it cannot get anymore ludicrous...

'Ten exquisitely preserved fossil feathers found in Australia represent the first solid evidence that feathered dinosaurs lived at Earth’s poles, paleontologists report in an upcoming study in the journal Gondwana Research.

The feathers date back 118 million years to the early Cretaceous period, when Australia was much farther south and joined with Antarctica to form Earth’s southern polar landmass'

Some feathers those eh!

'None of the feathers are currently associated with distinct dinosaur or bird bones. Instead, they were probably lost during molting or preening and drifted on the wind onto the surface of an ancient lake, where they sank to the bottom and were preserved in the fine mud. (Also find out about a huge pterosaur that once soared over the Antarctic Peninsula.)'

I can't take anymore, full lunacy Here

Absurd. Although at least the establishment acknowledges that Australia was connected to Antarctica at one point. That fact is obvious when looking at the maps of the last 400 years, and it suggest Australia and Antarctica being joined only a couple hundred years ago, not 100 million.

Even if they thought it was 400 years ago, they can't say it, due to how much they've established about our geological time-line. So, 400 years ago sounds about right.
