It is sometimes asserted that if human bones aren’t found with dinosaur bones, then dinosaurs and man didn’t live together.<ref name="HaD">Hodge, Bodie, [http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/am/v1/n1/humans-and-dinosaurs If humans and dinosaurs lived together, why don’t we find human fossils with dinosaur fossils?] ''Answers'' 1(1):52, May 2006.</ref>

Creation scientists assert that it is a false assumption, and if human bones aren’t found buried with dinosaur bones, it simply means they haven't been found buried together.<ref name="HaD" />

Creation scientists point out that this is a false assumption; if human bones aren’t found buried with dinosaur bones, it simply means they weren't buried together.<ref name="HaD" />

Creationists note that the fossil record contains mainly marine organisms and that a small sliver of the fossil record contains vertebrates and thus assert that we shouldn't find many human fossils at all.<ref name="HaD" />

 

Moreover, biblical creationist assert that since a biblical [[Great Flood|Flood]] would be a marine catastrophe, it would be expected that marine fossils would be dominant in the fossil record and this is in fact what we find.<ref name="NAB">Hodge, Bodie, [http://www.answersingenesis.org/PublicStore/pdfs/SampleChapter/10-2-267.pdf Why Don’t We Find Human & Dinosaur Fossils Together?] (chapter 13 of the New Answers Book), 2006.</ref>

Approximately 70% of the Earth is covered in salt water which would also explain the dominance of marine fossils. In addition, creation scientists assert there may have been a small pre-biblical flood human population and that massive amounts of flood sediment are why we haven’t found human fossils in pre-biblical flood sediments.<ref name="NAB" />

Also, creation scientists point out that we don't find human bones buried with [[coelacanth]]s but humans and coelacanths live together today and that evolutionary scientists claimed that coelacanths went extinct millions of years ago but they were found recently alive.<ref name="HaD" />
