Fossils are created by minerals replacing the object which is being fossilized, therefore causing them to turn to stone, correct?
That was always my belief,too.If that is the case,then carbon dating would not work at all and we would use another method to date the artifact.
How do you explain them finding fossils of sea shells and fish on top of mountains?
Do we know that the mountain was always a mountain?Geological forces acting over time may have changed that land mass from its original form.Granted,it doesn't seem likely that it would have changed much in 6,000 years,but it may not have always been a mountain,either.I'm just wondering if whoever found those items did any research on that.
