PB: ...and upon the entrapment of the carnivores more packs of carnivores came, who became entrapped, and that attracted more carnivores, who became entrapped, that attracted more canrivores, etcetera. So, it probably took only a couple of centuries to fill the tar pit with thousands of skeletons. It elegantly explains the 10:1 ratio.

Q: I'm not sure of the sequential carnivore part, but I agree that it wouldn't take much time to fill the various tar pits. As I pointed out, the number of individuals found equates to roughly to ten large mammals a decade. I also agree that the carnivore-herbivore ratio is explained by the "attraction" hypothesis.
PB: I read somewhere that it would take 30-50 ky to fill up the tar pit. I am glad that we agree that couple of centuries would also suffice.
Q: Were you agreeing with my post? I honestly had to read your response a couple of times to be sure, but it sounded like it. If so, this may be a first!
PB: I only attack evolutionism where I have a sure case.
