I can't tell the real story of the Mysterious Dinosaurs of Acambro, but I'd need to see a report from a more trustworthy source. (There are internal hints that the figurines are a hoax, of course.)

I saw www.bible.ca's "Cretacious" Miner's Hammer a year or so ago. IOW, that site is a joke.

See my #61.

I've got Charles H. Hapgood's "Mystery in Acambaro." It's almost as good as Velikovsky, Hollow Earth, or Attenuated Gravity theories.

I dabble in Sci Fi screenplays, so I gobble this crap up... Good, fun research.

The following fits in there somewhere.

THERMOLUMINESCENCE DATING OF ART OBJECTS

Ceramics from Indonesia and much of Oceania are not suitable for TL dating (and virtually all objects from West Mexico in the New World share this unfortunate problem).

From the Acambaro link(in the link notice where Guadalajara is in relation to the find.)

Eighteen samples were subjected to thermoluminescent testing by the University of Pennsylvania, all of which gave dates of approximately 2500 BC. These results were subsequently withdrawn when it was learned that some of the samples were from dinosaurs.

But, let me link the original

THE DINOSAURS OF ACAMBARO

Plus some more Dinos

"Cretacious" Miner's Hammer

It appears as if there is plenty of wood for carbon dating.
