And you find this to be a larger error than the reporter’s suggestion that scientists will carbon date this find?

60,000 years is the maximum for carbon dating so it is probably a mistake in the article

I think they were talking about organic material in the mud, but I don’t think radiocarbon dating goes much further back than 60,000 or 70,000 years. Wikipedia seems to support those dates. Coyoteman is the expert however. Two million years????

Touché. You got me there. Dumb post on my part.
