Rian, please see my post above on Relative Dating methods. I have a couple of rejoinders to your comments above. Firstly, the scientists in question are working in their fields of expertise, and therefore would know the rough time frame within which their research falls within. Secondly, they can use relative dating methods - i.e. subjective dating methods - to ascertain another time-frame before sending off the samples to be dated with radiometric methods. Thirdly, radiometric methods are EXPENSIVE to use. Therefore, it is of absolute necessity to ascertain at least a time-frame within which the specimen in question dates to using other, cheaper methods, before having it confirmed using the more expensive methods. What part of this do you have a problem with exactly?
Hey, why doesn't AIM work with you? I just tried to IM you to talk about this
