No. I was asking for your take on the condition of the soft tissue when it was discovered. Was it mineralized, partially mineralized, or not mineralized?
Considering that dating of strata is done by radiometrics, the condition of fossils impacts the SToE in what way?
My take on the condition is what I read and what I read only. One thing needs to be addressed: Is there any existing explanation that would support the condition of the tissue if it is actually as old as claimed, or are new hypotheses required?
I just reread my post. When I said I only know what I read I forgot to add the relevant link. Here it is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4379577.stm
It talks about the mineralization, or lack thereof, in not only the soft tissue, but the bone as well.
