TRICERATOPS HORN CARBON DATED TO ONLY 33,500 YRS OLD! (STA BREAKING NEWS and ARCHIVES)

PS;

Any artifact taken from the ground after the atmospheric nuclear bomb tests began can be contaminated with C-14 created during the tests that came down in the rain and possibly soaked into exposed artifacts to be found later. Samples taken before this time also have to studied to determine if the natural levels of C-14 have contaminated the sample. The C-14 test peters out after about 50,000 yrs age which is calibrated against present natural levels. It only takes a little exposure to modern atmosphere and soils to contaminate an artifact with C-14. The test is expensive and used to require a good sized piece of the artifact to run the test. Why would you run it if you were convinced from sediment strata dating that indicates the artifact is likely far older than C-14 dating can measure?

There is one other possibility raised in the Firestone, Topping work that shows that C-14 carbon can be increased in an artifact by exposure to neutrons which causes some of the nitrogen atoms in the artifact to convert to C-14. If this has happened as they postulated about 13,000 yrs ago, there will be shifts in the uranium isotope ratios and an increase in the tiny amount of plutonium present in natural uranium. Again these are expensive somewhat tedious analysis and the artifact must be taken from a location where a test fallout has not contaminated it.

Certainly a fascinating discovery and if the dinosaurs were here more recently, how did their bones get under where the ice pack was? More special effects by the cosmic film crew perhaps? --pragnos
