According to the fundamentalist-apologist group Answers in Genesis, 'The petroglyph of a sauropod dinosaur clearly has important implications-indicating that dinosaurs were indeed known to men after the Flood until they eventually died out and became (apparently) extinct.' The assumption is that the petroglyph was intentionally carved by humans to represent a single animal that people had actually seen walking around the landscape in the recent past. Among the most oft-cited is a petroglyph of what appears to be an Apatosaurus-like sauropod on Kachina Bridge in Utah's Natural Bridges National Monument. Most of these have been discredited as forgeries and misinterpreted objects, but creationists continue to use them as evidence for their peculiar view of earth history. To support their fantastical claims, some creationists cite what they believe to be various sculptures, carvings and other artistic representations of dinosaurs made by ancient cultures around the world.

Young earth creationists have a habit of twisting natural history to fit within the narrow confines of their interpretation of Genesis, and they insist that humans once co-existed with sauropods, tyrannosaurs, ceratopsians and other dinosaurs within the last 6,000 years or so. Yet there are people who claim that humans actually lived alongside dinosaurs. They left only bones and traces in the rock behind.

About 65.5 million years ago, the last of the non-avian dinosaurs were wiped out in the fallout from one of the earth's most catastrophic extinction events.
