there's this pesky thing called "radiometric dating" that you're going to have to face up to sooner or later. Like most creationists and IDists, you have simply assumed that you can just dismiss radiometric dating as “iffy” and “inaccurate” without having to actually resort to using evidence.
Dating IS iffy, different labs have given different dates... an example of such was in the
Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, where fossils of apelike animals attracted special attention because their finders claimed they were linked to humans.
First measurements of argon in the volcanic tuff in which the fossils were found showed an age of 1.75 million years. But later measurements at another qualified laboratory gave results a half million years younger. then the ages of other layers of tuff, above and below, were not consistent. Sometimes the upper layer had more argon than the one below it. But this is all wrong, geologically speaking”the upper layer had to be deposited after the lower and should have less argon.
So if the results of radiometric dating are not consistent, then their is something wrong with the method and it cant be trusted.

Second, your link leads to an article about a mammoth estimated to be 50,000 years old. By comparison, the Cretaceous Period was 65 to 145 million years ago, and the Jurassic was directly before that. I’m not sure why there is a mammoth article here at all.
Third, I’m calling your (or your source’s) bluff: nobody has found Jurassic creatures in the Cretaceous Period. I will gladly retract this statement if you show me the fossils in question.
that article shows that along side the mammoth fossil, they pulled up a "The hunt, involving 75 people, also unearthed the leg bone and vertebra from an Ice Age deer and belemnites,
the remains of squid-like creatures from the Jurassic period, some 150m years ago"

So, is it your opinion that the seafloor should be completely flat in the absence of a flood?
no, my suggestion is that perhaps the earth is STILL flooded by water
