Sure thing.
Fossilisation is a process whereby the original material of an organism is replaced by minerals (most commonly calcium carbonate). In order for this process to proceed, there must be water present. This is why every description of sedimentary rocks necessitates a "warm, shallow sea" or an "anoxic lake" from the evolutionists. So much so, that it seems the entire globe was "warm shallow sea".
Accusing me of making unsupported assertions when I say water and cement is required for fossilisation is like being contrary when I say the Earth is round.

"Cement" is meaningless to me

Oh, well. I'm sure you'll get over it.

How about you explain yourself?

Again?

We've already established water in this case, being a lake bed, but you forgot about that.
|
And you're accusing me of making unsupported assertions when I say there was water and you agree there was water?

If you want to say cement = sticky then yes lake bottoms are very sticky and hold together quite well.

Not dried out. Dried out they turn into mud and crack and desiccate rather quickly. They don't make rocks without cement.

Degree of preservation of a fossil does not necessarily tell you the age, only the conditions of preservation, that much should be obvious even to you.

At least you seem now willing to look at the evidence.

Preservation of such a degree as the Microraptor fossils is quite rare. It is found only in a handful of sites around the world. If you're going to assert that the same mechanism has formed all fossils, YOU need to explain why Konservat-Lagerstätten are so rare.

Try having the discussion instead of making up straw men to beat.
