Could be because the buffalo bones were collected and ground into bone meal for fertilizer.
Evolutionists have to have more “faith” in their “religion” than Creationists do in theirs. Personally, I don’t believe that the earth formed on October 30, 4004 B.C. However, I do believe in the “young earth” theory. The main reason is from the scientific data I collected as a Geotechnical Engineer in Mississippi. Up in Madison County, you dig far enough you’ll get into Unweathered Yazoo Clay, which is bluish-green and contains many small seashells and other fossils. These fossils didn’t just “gradually” settle into the soil and ossify over millions of years..Many of the shells I got still weren’t even fossilized....something cataclysmic had to happen to preserve them. To preserve anything, you have to remove oxygen and sunlight to keep it from decomposing. That’s why we have such an extensive record of the Vesuvius Volcano, but very little if anything left from the millions of Buffalo slaughtered for fun in the 1800’s and left to rot.
A world wide flood might of preserved your specimens. :)
Current estimations of earth age are made from analysis of long half-life radio isotopes like uranium. You could find unassailable proof those shell were deposited there in the last 2000 years, but that won't do anything to prove how old the Earth is, or disprove the radiometrics.
