This was found in rock dating back 100,000,000 years, so the fossil is 100,000,000 million years!!! Is that not also circular reasoning?

That's classical circular reasoning. In addition, evolution cannot explain the huge gaps in fossil records.

Fossil's *are* rocks. What's your point?

No, it is not circular reasoning. First off, if you know a rock is 100M years old, then it is reasonable to infer anything found stuck in that rock is 100M years old, so I don't see what your problem is. If you want to claim that we prove fossils are 100M years old because they are in rocks which are 100M years old, and we know the rocks are 100M years old because they have fossils which are 100M years old stuck in them, that's not how it works. Are you going to reply to this post or are you just going to ignore it?
