Calcim carbonate is formed from carbonic acids leaching minerals from soil and rocks, underground there is also sulfuric acids combined with a slurry of other materials.
With all these possible interactions millions of years are not required for petrification, On Mt Evans there are bristlecone pines that are half petrified and some completely petrified and some are still growing they are well above the treeline( elevation at which trees grow )
so I still insist that stone can form rapidly, by my own
observation, and Ive seen seashells stuck in half granite half quartz rocks way above 9000ft which suggests tremendous geologic activity which would render layer dating useless yet thats how most supposed fossils are dated.

Well Claptrap obviously you do not understand.

All your observations will be bogus and rejected by the peer review board (80% of them) unless it points to a preordained conclusion (that comes from the high council of the peer review board)

Kind of circular it is isn't it huh ? /sarc>

That's nice. Are you going to get around to actually making a point?

No one said it was. Are you going to get around to actually making a point?

So? Point?

so I still insist that stone can form rapidly, by my own observation, and Ive seen seashells stuck in half granite half quartz rocks way above 9000ft which suggests tremendous geologic activity

Again, so?

which would render layer dating useless

No it wouldn't. Nice try. I'm sorry, but flinging in a "conclusion" after a batch of disconnected and irrelevant statements does not constitute an actual argument, or support for your strange beliefs.

yet thats how most supposed fossils are dated.

No, actually, it isn't. Where did you "learn" this stuff, a creationist pamphlet?
