Typical crank behavior.

His "best" evidence to date is:

1. "Looks sort of like a skull to me".

2. "An expert said this piece of another rock was shaped like a tooth".

3. "Bones have little holes, so does this rock, I saw them myself, so there."

Based on this, he's *sure* he has something that'll revolutionize science, but The Man is keeping him down, so he spends the next several *years* beating the same dead horse.

Hell, he apparently hasn't even had his rock(s) dated. Depending on the nature of the strata there, there's no guarantee that rocks found near/on a coal seam of a given age actually originated *in* the coal seam. They may have been deposited there by glacier during the last ice age, for example. From the photos, it looks like he's finding his specimens in *surface* rocks, which could have originated at any date and been deposited on the open coal seam at any time.

Real scientists take the time to cross their t's and dot their i's. This guy just keeps waving his rocks around and yells about the conspiracy to hid his "discoveries."

Crank.

Anthacite coal seams are rarely horizontal. Because of their age and the mountain building process (plate tectonics) these seams can actually form a "U" shape with outcrops of the same seam identifiable in the same general acreage. Its a known fact that early man made use of coal where he found it. The voids made a convenient place for burials and other storage.

Granules that were removed from the specimen resembling a human skull embedded in the boulder reveal Haversian canals, the telltale indicator of bone.

Wait a tick...don't skull bones form by intramembranous ossification??? That would mean there would be NO evidence of Haversian Canals in fossilized skulls...hmmm.
