I’m sure all the bones were time-stamped.

Plant matter found at the site in the arid San Timoteo Canyon, 85 miles (137km) south-east of Los Angeles, showed it was once much greener.

Their biggest clue was Helen Thomas referring to one of the skeletons as “Mother”.

Then she told the dinosaur bones to go back to where they came from.

No....cave nearby....According to the drawings...signed and dated by the artist, the saber tooth tiger was named "Sharpie", the Sloth was named "Hang in There" and the camel was named "Humper".

Time stamped....you're so silly....

Workers building a substation in California have discovered 1,500 bone fragments from about 1.4 million years ago.

I assume the substation won't be built.

It’s so standard. These articles unblushingly state their presumptions about age as fact.

Every once in awhile I just have to speak up and state my contempt for this arrogant deceptive practice.

The fact is, they don’t know how old they are.

But wait...they carbon dated Mt. St. Helens ash, and determined with scientific accuracy that it last erupted 25,000 years ago.

What more do you want?

About 20 years ago, I was in Virginia...got on a lonely road....found a big boulder....carved 1788 and my initials with some actual stone cutting tools I have, smiled and drove away.

Some jerk will certainly find this "Revolutionary Stone" someday.

And I suppose you also think Astronomers shouldn't talk about how light from an object one hundred million light years away is from events one hundred million year ago?

Do you similarly insist that they don't know how long ago the event happened?

Did they find Nancy Pelosi in there?Barbara Boxer, or
that platypus Waxman? That would explain a lot.

Does the dating measure the age of the erupted material, or the age of the eruption event?

I believe it was the event - based on the "age" of C-14 decay in the ash (that erupted in 1980 - I lived in Montana at the time, so I was an eyewitness to the ashfalls)...

but the ash was supposedly erupted 25,000 years ago...

Scientific accuracy, indeed...
