Article: “Stranger still, the ancient penguin’s melanosomes didn’t match modern penguins’ and instead looked like the melanosomes of other modern birds.”
So then why would they assume that it is even a penguin? There are a lot of “probably”s in this article. I don’t see any carbon dating results on how they got the figure 36 million years, either. Lots of supposition here.
I liked the quote, “ “I think there will be more to the story of this penguin’s feathering.” which I translated to mean, “We are full of crap.”
Carbon dating is useful only for items less than 50k years............like Helen Thomas............
