“it is their dating methodology used to plug the holes in their dating dikes.”
I'm sorry, but when Dykes are dating they certainly are not plugging holes. Kindly rethink your assertion and re-post.

Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -- Philip K. Dick
Of course, there's a punchline to that famous quote by the only sci-fi writer IMHO worth reading.

6 Million years just isn't all that long.
It depends on ones perspective of time.

“This is some kind of precursor of the tusk of the more modern [elephant],” Gheerbrant said.”
OR...
“Two of the creature’s lower front teeth jut a fraction of an inch out from its jaw.”
Great leaps of faith and conjecture to assert “precursor to the tusk”.

To: tpanther
Much of the story of the newly discovered creature, said Gheerbrant, of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, can be found in its teeth. Two of the creature's lower front teeth jut a fraction of an inch out from its jaw. No other fossils of the time have teeth like this. "This is some kind of precursor of the tusk of the more modern [elephant]," Gheerbrant said. So if some kid's teeth jut out a fraction of an inch from it's lower jaw, he's a proto some kind of new creature instead of just having buck teeth, or too much pacifier, or whatever?
Dontcha just love how it's always got to be evolution instead of a mild aberration that could have a mechanical cause?
