Did Humans Walk the Earth with Dinosaurs? Triceratops Horn Dated to 33,500 Years

A Triceratops brow horn discovered in Dawson County, Montana, has been controversially dated to around 33,500 years, challenging the view that dinosaurs died out around 65 million years ago. The finding radically suggests that early humans may have once walked the earth with the fearsome reptiles thousands of years ago. The Triceratops brow horn was excavated by palaeontologist Otis Kline Jr, microscope scientist Mark Armitage, and microbiologist and avocational palaeontologist Kevin Anderson, in May 2012, and two horn samples (GDFM 12.001a and GDFM 12.001b) were given to the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum in Montana. The samples were then sent to the University of Georgia, Center for Applied Isotope Studies for Carbon-14 dating, which yielded an estimated date of 33,570 ± 120 years for the first sample and 41,010 ± 220 years for the second.

Heath and Green Tea please discuss for our amusement...
 
Just out of interest, how could 2 samples of the same bone fragment be dated to 7,000 years apart?
 
Imagine if they had camera phones back then? None of this would be up for debate. In 65 million years time people will know exactly what is going on now. Although it will mostly be people fighting and saying worldstar.

But what if everything goes in the cloud and we have worldwide destruction of the electrical system so all the datacentre materials gets lost and destroyed?

Up shit creek without a paddle...
 
Ok so I just read the article. It does throw up some interesting questions, although as I said in my previous post it doesn't make sense that one bone can be dated (to within a couple of hundred years of accuracy) to 2 different dates 7000 years apart, and the article completely ignores this. Maybe it's a normal phenomenon and I just don't know enough about carbon dating.

Also, they say carbon dating is can only give reliable results up to 55,000 years, so if the dinosaur bone is millions of years old (as expected) it's going to be a long way past this 55,000 year cut off point - and thus the results of the analysis are unreliable and maybe that's why we are getting these surprising results.
 
Every Dinosaur fragment that has ever been dated has come back with dates in the thousands(not millions) of years old. But because Carbon 14 dating is noted as inconclusive against samples older than 60k years old, the results are thrown out. It is duly assumed that dinos are millions of years old, so C14 dating can not be classed as a recognised dating method on such samples.
So even "if" all dinos lived with man thousands of years ago - the politics behind the dating(and those silly old fashioned scientists) stop us using C14 on such samples. So I guess we just have to go with the word of what all those old scientists and old text books say.

I always preferred Betty, always found Wilma a bit c***y, but Betty, she seems like a chilled out chick.

I'd definitely make her Bedrock :62:

That could be interesting, if you didn't believe the planet was 10K years old so you kind of nullify readings of 60K because clearly it can't exist anyway.

I'm off to stroke a dinosaur and read all those books that are reliable.

Not the one rewirrten by American money gainers who would be Scientologists if they could afford the entry fee.

But give it 20 years and little bo peep will definitely be a slut and maybe a new religions Mary. The whore.

For an all powerful creator in your little world GT, surely he invented a diary?
 
Nah Wilma, like an old Catholic girl...I bet she put out.

As for David's comment...relating to bones of the same body being 7000 years apart...we are talking about his horn.

I was hornly long before I was born, it makes sense to me!
 
Carbon 14 dating only gives reliable results up to about 30,000 years, so is useless for dating anything older. It's decay rate is too fast, and becomes indistinguishable from background radiation, and hence shows the same results for a 60,000 year old sample as a 65m year old one.

The "Scientists" using this method to date these fossils are complete Morons, and should be lined up against a wall and shot for bringing science into disrepute. My 16 year old nephew knows better than this.
