Not only do bears do predictable things in woods, but woods themselves are predictably made out of paper.

Yes, even before another quarter billion years of evolution had taken place algae were stringing cellulose together that could last 1/4 billion years ~
We might well ask how it was that "life" figured out that it needed cellwalls that could last that long.
We could ask God why life needs cellwalls good for a full quarter billion years.
So, hey, for an algae cell that expects to be around for a few months why does it need a cellwall that lasts a quarter billion years?

Don’t forget, it was found in SALT, a very good preservative..................

That's his make work project for useless Scientists who get grants to study the obvious or best scam going: find stuff so small, so distant, so long ago, that you can pretty much make up what you want and get published.
As I said, a great scam, brought to us by the people who thought up Man Made Global warming..
Tom Edison, Bell, and such would have a great laugh at what gets passed off as science today.

Still, there’s a quarter billion years of interior cell structures to hold in place ~

This is Yucca mountain, I am better dollars to donuts they are looking for something special in the salt, some useful DNA or some living creature to try and stop them from using it to store the nuke waste there.
Why else would they be looking at microscopic salt particles for billion year old evidence of plant life? Last time I checked there are hundreds of other salt mines they can go and play with, why choose one steeped in so much controversy to research like this?

This has Skully and Muldar written all over it! Shouldn't there be an immediate quarantine on this site before the Black Oil gets out into the general population?

Good question. But they have to drill test cores anyway, so might as well analyze the stuff they find in them........

Agreed, just kind of suspicious by nature I guess. N.C. to Nevada, they had to jump over literally hundreds of salt mines between the two is all.
Heck maybe the prof. just like an excuse to stay in Vegas with his students while they do their “fieldwork”.

Cellulite? Why is everyone so excited about finding cellulite? People spend lots of money trying to get rid of this stuff and these morons are searching for it in mines. Cellulite is everywhere. Cellulite? I've got your cellulite right here!
What's that? Its cellulose? Oh. Never mind....
To: Abathar
This is not Yucca Mountain. Y.M. is in S.W. Nevada, near the Cali border. This salt mine is in S. New Mexico, near Carlsbad. They are quite a distance apart.

Between the references to “Carlsbad, NM” and “Permian Sea”, I’m pretty sure this is southeast New Mexico, not Vegas (although northern NM does have a non-gambling “Las Vegas”).

Yep, when they mentioned nuclear storage site I jumped to conclusions, hence my tagline.
