Unfortunately, I misread the title as “This SENATOR is 20,000 years old...”
Ahhhh! The oceans are getting less salty! We’re all gonna DIE! Give us grant money to “study” the “problem”!
Thanks for the link. Glad the Russians were able to be convinced to show restraint. There must be a way to explore without contamination who knows what they find down there. Hoffa? D.B Cooper? HRC’s e-mails?
Like second hand smoke kills people?
Like asbestos in any amount is dangerous?
Like a homeowner cant remove his own lead based paint?
Yep, you’re right - AND ‘global cooling, peak oil, ozone hole, acid rain, population bomb, etc etc etc...
Every month or so a new commercial is on TV looking for suckers to sign up with a law firm for a law suit claiming that some drug, some procedure or some company caused somebody harm.
Trip and fall lawyers have all the morality of a tomcat or a serial killer.

:^) Even with no term limits we don't have any that old, but somehow when they leave office, they have accumulated a fortune that should have taken no-talent losers like themselves 20,000 years to pile up.
“who knows what they find down there.”
Glad you asked. Lol.

Isolation Of A 250 Million-Year-Old Halotolerant Bacterium From A Primary Salt Crystal
"Here we report the isolation and growth of a previously unrecognized spore-forming bacterium (Bacillus species, designated 2-9-3) from a brine inclusion within a 250 million-year-old salt crystal from the Permian Salado Formation."
There are ways to capture an uncontaminated sample...,but once the environmental capsule is broken the environment will become contaminated. You just have to grab your multiple "clean" samples quickly.
But this is old stuff for experienced ultra-trace analytical chemists.

How did we get the dilution of today? Comets?
Predicting the past has a foot in religion, too.
Some writer tells of a past event, but does it
as someone writing long before the event.
The predictions he makes will thus be
uncannily accurate, inasmuch as the event
happened a long time ago.
But wannabe believers will marvel at the accuracy
of the ‘old’ book and decide it could only be divine.
The snake thus eats its own tail and religions are born.

If only someone had purchased the lifetime extended warranty . . .
The Russians were going to go in probe it and they were trying to figure out how to do it because any opening would contaminate it. I never saw how any more information.
A creature came out and.... ahhhh!!!!
Yes. Because salts can remain in sediment and through selective filtration, water becomes saltier.
Nice!
