Definitely the direct ancestor of the Squats, esp. Jayapal and Tlaib.
The Mormon church hastened to baptize it.
There are dozens of different methods for dating ancient materials, including radiometric and fossil comparisons.
For some sites several methods can be used to verify each other.
When multiple methods produce similar answers then confidence levels are pretty high.
When fossils of the same kind are found in different strata many miles apart, then it's reasonable to suggest those strata are roughly the same age.
Especially when confirmed by other dating methods.
It's how science is supposed to work.
Been a long time since we had a HT pic!
Yawwwwwn, seriously, who cares and I’m a geologist.
Well, first, it wasn't a bone, it was fossils, rocks, which right away suggests they're old, very old.
Second, most of the earth's geological strata have been mapped & studied to estimate their ages and conditions when first formed.
So once a geological stratum is identified, it's age can be estimated.
Third, there are dozens of different methods for determining ancient ages, including various radiometric processes.
When multiple methods produce similar results then confidence increases and any fossils found there can be used to help date those same fossils found elsewhere.
It's how science is supposed to work.
I know. They’ve all disappeared. This seemed like the perfect time.
I saw this episode on the Simpsons.
