- Dez esqueletos humanos modernos foram escavados a 58 pés de profundidade no arenito do Dakota do Cretáceo Inferior, com 140 milhões de anos e conhecido pelos mesmos dinossauros do Dinosaur National Monument.

1. Os esqueletos são os mesmos ossos que os ossos desacreditados, aparentemente com esqueletos de oito enterros indianos próximos. [Kuban 1998] |
Ambos os lados parecem estar cometendo o mesmo erro. Ambos estão associando os dois esqueletos encontrados em 1971 com os oito encontrados em 1990. Os dois locais estão separados por cerca de 100 pés, portanto não é irracional que eles não sejam relacionados.
2. Todos os detalhes fornecidos no relato são aparentemente falsos. Os ossos foram encontrados a 15 pés de profundidade em areia macia e não consolidada.
The top of the hill seems to drop by about 40 feet as can bee seen in an image of the site. The result is that the 1971 Moab man site is 15 feet deep and the 1990 Malachite Man site is about 58 feet deep.
* They were clearly intrusive (i.e., buried there long after the sediments were laid down).
This seems to be based on the idea that the Moab man find and the 1990 Malachite Man are related. There are reasons to question this conclusion.
The bones found in 1990 do not appear to have been carbon 14 dated. If you look at the large images, it is clear that these bones are in solid rock. Even if the bones were in soft material, the layers of rock above them were hard. It was the hardness of the rock that forced the closure of the copper mine that lead to their discovery. 58 feet is really too deep to be intrusive burials, particularly given the rock that would had to have been carved through to dig a grave. It is not clear from the two in situ images if these bones are fossilized or not, but the images of those bones that were removed including a femur and a jaw do seem to be fossilized.
The conclusion is that while the two finds are in the same area, they are separate finds. The two 1971 skeletons are recent, but the 1990 find is probably as old as the rock.
* The Dakota Formation is approximately 90-115 million years old, straddling the Early and Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur National Monument is in the Morrison Formation, which is Jurassic. [Kuban 1998]
Evolutionists date this rock at about 100 million years, but creationists would date it to the flood about 5,000 years ago.
3. The people making claims about Malachite Man have not been cooperative in supplying information which might be used to verify their claim. This would be surprising if they thought their claims could actually be verified.
Maybe they just don't trust those are making the request like Talk Origins. By the way when was the last time evolutionists made a major fossil find available to creationists so that their claims could be verified.
