As for the alleged circularity of fossil dating, I might point out that there are other external indicators used to calibrate and judge the accuracy of radioisotope dating - you really ought to investigate the techniques used before asserting such a thing.

Perhaps the researchers should first state how they arrived at the dates. They never seem to do so. The legitimacy of the dating is just as important as the fossil itself.

Care to share the method(s) you'd use to determine the age of this object? Also, how would you determine what it. in fact, is?
