The 30 foot fish experience, Port Alma Central Queensland


I went to the Philippines after a small payout from an accident of being ripped of a 35 ft pole in the Railways on suffered a lot of PSTD and treated with many I would say mind altering drugs. Some Indian psychologist I was being treated with convinced me to move to the Philippines as living cost would be cheaper there. He also convinced me I could get a good education for my children and being still young should adjust easily, My wife come from the bottom Island I convinced her with the idea also as our funds here weren’t earning enough to look after the family of four. We sold our property in Bouldercombe which  had a small crumbling to bit Plant Nursery on it the Council was giving us problems with the shed not being big enough to live in and made me build a new laundry and do other work before I could even sell it. The council was requiring us to build another room on the shed to their specifications, so much of our payout was being torn away on regulations.   
My Father lived with us there we used to go fishing in Port Alma where the main items the 30 ft fish vertebra fossil were eventually found by me after my return from the Philippines. 
 Our Philippines experience was short lived as after 12 months of many large medical bills from my children they had many asthma problems beside water giardia infection regularly it hurt so much to see them sick all the time most of medicine was way too expensive and I had osteoarthritis giving me a broken ankle and one also got the water disease. Our funds were disappearing fast and I had seen a few other Australians and other foreigners who had been imprisoned there economically and going into relative poverty. It was best return while we had enough to put a deposit on a House. 
Mt Morgan was where Helma’s other Pilipino friends lived and I also had a railway worker friend there it was close to Port Alma where I could go catch us crabs or fish. I got to contact a friend who used to purchase trees of me when we had the Nursery, he introduced me to a Steve Kemp the Mayor of Woorabinda who was looking for someone to set up a Permaculture system for the people at Woorabinda. I had to show him my old place I sold at Bouldercombe, the new owners had the same surname as him and got on well. 
The lady was once in the nursing profession and she bought out this stone type pseudo fossil that looked like a human hip. She thought it could be aboriginal in origin they had a bit of a discussion about burial practices as if it was a human hip the legs had been broken backwards and Steve said that was a common practice in some tribes burial practices, She demanded he take it. It was an item my Father had found down Port Alma once he threw it away after showing it to the CQ University and they had been down there looking for fossil’s but found nothing. Steve gave it to his archaeologist who came our saying it was stone and too old to be Human and it was more like an archosaur.


Later I was to go find a bone version of the stone one my Father first found 



I ended up with it back and the interest to go discover further the Port Alma area.
 First step was to purchase Geological maps the fact I could see magnetic ground and faults down this was exciting. 

The lower Carboniferous overlaps the Upper Permian along the fault lines of the Yarrol fault on the geological map. One can assume that the fossil area is some overlapping of these both periods where the Lower Devonian animals were decimated and fossilized by the animals that were species able to tolerate the extreme conditions of the seismic activity.

Magnetic ground under the mud the dark black area in the middle is the maffic fault area



The time of the faulting and the creation of ball- stones
The waves of the seismic activity was erratic at source but would have evened out to perfect waves to form ball-stone sponge like sponges circulating the organic dead animals and plant material.




Narrow leaf Bottle tree fauna same as Blackwater coal areas I could not see the ocean being full of fish and land crawling with Arthropods some Amphibians and the air with Pterosaurs the gliding Archosaurs during the Lower Carboniferous to the Cretaceous. The Oceans were at a much lower level as today's oceans and not so salty as the salt in the Oceans only first came from the erosion of soil from melting glaciers. One could say the peat some determination on the level of the early oceans as to the dept of the Lignite after the 100 and 200 feet of sediments plus the thickness of the lignite at both different drill sites.

Are peat Bogs at Port Alma Tertiary or Ancient, Qld Geologist say Tertiary, Qld Museum says Holocene

                                       Video description of 30 ft fish.                                                                                                                          


These peat bogs jut down in few parallel  strips into Casuarina creek they also exist in  across the mud flats and road, some shale area's  Inkerman creek a couple miles away up creek from the parallel  maffic / magnet faults that Tom rich told me were Devonian, a compass put down on them makes north swing around to SSW. maybe the same anomaly that made Capt Cook have problems with at aptly named Magnetic Island In literature I have read it says that at the mouth of the Ross river and Burdiken river are stumps of the ancient tree Glosspertis

We have admission that they are possibly Tertiary and not just Holocene as the Museum has told me all my fossils and sub-fossils are. The fact remains that there are megafauna and mega stone fish vertebra and Plate, obviously the stone one can be assumed to be older than the bone ones especially of similar size





 Marsupial Vertebra and a jaw and teeth that are an  older version of maybe Bunyip type animal Giant sheep the  neck vertebra the middle top a Queensland Museum idea , Lady at collections at south Australian museum says ancient camel neck bone probably 40 million years or even older under a cetacean D Pickering told me whale similar to Tertiary fossils they were finding at an excavation on land at the oil shale only some maybe ten miles away over the mangroves  along the ruler in the map above, some super size fish and a couple ordinary modern day smaller fish no peat stains on them. Bottom

                                        Unknown species maybe early marsupial
Many different species of marsupials well preserved i say from a mixture of Peat and soluble Silicone in the fresh water under Port Alma, modern day oceans or some brines don't have this element It is noted in the 1920 Dunstan drilling results when drilling for bribes to make salt the water was found to be fresher than the seawater a possible signature of an ancient Ocean.

this link explains a bit about ancient Oceans being high silicon 

                                         Unknown extinct species

A paleontologist dig the diagrams on the photos to explain to me what parts of the giant bird he said they were the top he couldn't say if bird or Petrasaur, It was later lost by person of the Qld Uni when handed to them to examine.
Above is a selection of sub fossils some of species not alive today


Thee large ones are so stone the Museum director Paleontologist D Pickering of Melbourne told me this process would have taken millions of year to happen and possibly 65 million year, the whole 8 of them laughed when I told them the Museum here in Queensland told me 30foot Bream or mackerel. and later was told Grouper and Giant catfish. Now the Plate I didn't have when I visited the Melbourne Museum and later handed my fossils case to a J Stilwel of Monash uni, Well P Rich of the Monash Uni who had also inspected my fossils and sub fossils but would not comment because of legal reasons told me to show the Plate to an ancient fish expert, Now I am sure she would not damage her credibility as an expert in getting me to show him a catfish plate.




Comparison of recent catfish or maybe Tertiary catfish as it is really large compared to modern day ones I have caught to the Go-Go shark plate which Pat Rich's book says it  is.


   Been told by Paleontologist CQ Uni Townsville a Mr Henderson that these trees at the three meter down tidal mark are freshwater tree's now think about it these are fresh some 40 ks from any un-salted main land ground by road. hardly be Holocene for a start.
                                                             


The map above show I am in line with ancient ground from faults Gladstone way

The tropic of Capricorn  travels straight through the area I have been searching


The dark area on the map between the yellow n red area is the maffic faults this is a radiometric map which shows the ground a meter or 2 under as that all it can read is maffic and must be a physically joined entity.

 The foot note says surface but the Qld Geologist says over a kilometre below mud .
This pink area is the shale area they have salt evaporation pans on being mud to 200 and 100 ft where coal is would let the water disappear .



Recently I was told by the Qld Geologist that the signatures of the magnetism is from reading from under a kilometre of mud, but the radio active readings say only 20-30 cm under the mud for this readings and it shows down the same area a mass of rock is under the mud as mud can not be radioactive and most radio active readings are given by a fused layer of rock probably linked to a deeper mass the faulted rock in area black.




                                      
This is also a Satellite map which shows the magnetic waves of the rock under the ground. The footnote on this diagram says only surface, so why does everyone believe the Qld Geologist? These maps alone tell a knowledgeable geologist that the peat gravels and layers of oil to Lignite at 200 ft/100ft  underneath have to be ancient as this magma underground is between 450 and 250 million years as it must be fused to give this signature. Impossible to have Tertiary under fused ancient rock.

One of the Magnetic/Maffic faults that jut down int Inkerman creek though there are no fossils around the area specifically, there is limestone marl pieces and the black fresh water tree at the low tide level. my theory is they could not survive  the wave intensity and only survived as fossils on the waves of peat much father away as the first fault waves would have to grow bigger and calmer as the distance grew.


This email is an answer i got when I showed him the underneath bryzoans on the serrated edge shell I only found five of and all at once one expedition, Like there are numerous bivalves there but none with so intricate zigzag design and the book Pat Rich sent me with my fossils back had this page marked




Also found in other books written by Australians who say it is 250 million years old. Eurydesma megadesma 
  

These are stone and also found at different times in the peat, it was not unusual not to find a couple of these each journey. I say Tertiary of the mega fauna times



Some people have told me this is a spore pod from an ancient tree




The very small crystal green rock left is of a piece of the fault the other was excavated many miles away back towards Bajool where along the road they had to blow rock to put power poles down 3 meters has very large crystals of pyrites among the green basalt


On the left this time i have the green basalt connected to Limestone part of crinoidal mass also excavated and right fault rock close to the maffic faults excavated from powerline construction

\
I say large marker-stone from an ancient race of Aboriginals excavated at numerous pole sites, some comes in pink and there
  

  
Another version of crinoidal rock from area probably some sort of aboriginal chopping stone as all these rocks have been broken of the reef of rock which shows up red or yellow on the radiometric map.


lower it to me is a brachipod cast fossil and on it feeder tube is the smallest crab maybe in the world. This would make every other tiny crab fossil down there the same age .












 Brachipods and an ancient oyster Gryaphidia one on top left someone from museum say tortoise looks like crinoid to me and people on F/B. Left is the Gogo  Placoderm plate <not a giant catfish Ha haha>
 These all have legs or feeder tubes was told by museum an anomaly of a stick well this many anomalies is pretty unusual especially when some can be seen as tubes.



Bruce Runnegar before he went to work for NASA told these bivalves that stand like skittles are Eurydesma megadesmus of the Permian .


Some have tubes many not but that might mean the tube piece was fragile and was broke of by tidal action of when it was fossilized. Head of modern day fossils Paleontologist R Wurst of Townsville CQ Uni could not name them as a modern-day species 


This was supposed to be tortoise on can clearly see it is segmented sections.



These are magnification 10x from some other shale







 The segmented sections can be found on the tredino worms from the freshwater trees. Top tredino worm not only super hard shale from deep burial looks as though squashed by some tectonic activity and bottom one also with a tectonic slick and slide caused by another rock sliding past cutting and sealing, there has been no tectonic activity down there for some 250 million years at least



All above are artifacts found at the peat bog areas, a Luke Godwin Archaeologist for the aboriginal people of Rockhampton told me so when he came looking at sites I found at Mt Morgan. Seeing this area is around 30-40 ks from normal land I could not imaging aboriginals making many journeys down here in recent Holocene time having lack of fresh water. maybe and maps say it was land during the Tertiary time

Ancient crinoidal matter in one of the artifact rocks I broke not knowing it was an artifact one has a habit of hitting some rocks with a miners pick it is what people who make discoveries do.




 I have these Bryzoans on a supposedly modern day fossil according to the Museum, but the person never turn these lobsters over and see some had nine segments like a mantis shrimp not a mud lobster




These segmented part of the lobster must have been a weak point also as not many can be found like this but a lot with the spiky telson place up between the claws, Now the most difficult thing in the world to do is to tell some paleontologist he was wrong it is like telling the Vatican they has pedo cardinals, nothing is ever taken noticed or done, a just don't want to  know attitude




Granite type lobster nodule from the shale area near Inkerman creek mudstone from near the river just short of the shale, The Qld Geologist told me the granite items were a ancient brachipod Enchinsolia.


 Enchinsolia bracipodia from the shale area,
 Orthosclase ballstone left from shale area and mudstone ones only found near the peat area


 Orthoslase brachipodia from the creek peat area .

I have the fresh water tree that goes through what is supposed to be a salt water lobster,

This lady in her way says my work is right so eat your heart out Qld Museum

Summing up one could say that by rules of Geoscience only older items can be found under old strata and one is sure the peat areas originate from under the maffic area as they are recorded in the drilling reports. One has been denied proper assessments by Politicians and Museum people alike since they lost some fossil 18 years ago and this refusal has meant the loss of much valuable heritage that could have been useful to Australia as a whole as if this is tertiary or even more ancient like up to 450 million years this could reclassify many other sites these fossils occur from ordinary old useless Holocene to useful Paleozoic
