An aquaintance of mine digs fossil remains of dinosaurs out West and he maintains that they often smell of bone when cracked or burned as well. I don't think that radiometric chronology is all that it is cracked up to be.
A soft science like global warming climatology?

Anthropologist turns heads with mystery dates
Munich - A German anthropologist is facing accusations of misconduct from the University of Frankfurt, after concerns came to light about his research and apparent attempts to sell university property.
According to the German news magazine Der Spiegel, Reiner Protsch von Zieten carbon-dated several human skulls from Germany and found them to be up to 30,000 years old. Other labs date the bones at just 7,000–8,000 years old. Protsch von Zieten's results have been used to back controversial hypotheses on prehistoric population movements in central Europe. It is unclear how Protsch von Zieten managed to get such radically different results; the university says that he stands by his findings.
Protsch von Zieten was suspended from the university in April, after allegedly attempting to sell more than 200 institute-owned ape skulls to collectors in the United States. According to the university, Protsch von Zieten says he owns the skulls himself. Legal proceedings in this case are pending.
Crime does pay! For 30 years at least. He collected a very good university salary and other payoffs though fraud.

They must sleep late.
They must sleep late.
LOL.
That was a funny line, but I got a kick out of this one, also:
"We are having to rewrite prehistory"
In fact, I'm appending it to my tagline now!
I was going to say that was one bad date. Alas, they were talking about a totally different dating that I have no interest in.
Back to the Clinton days or word parsing. He doesn't say he didn't do it, only that there is no evidence that he did it.
This guy found 90 intact 8,000 year old human brains in Florida. I don't remember if they mentioned smell or not but, I expect they would smell.
That's a great screen name! Bump for the evening folks..
