JohnJ Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Please give me a list of materials that can be molded or carved. Also has a dusting of pyrite "silver and gold " flakes. Also magnetic. To what purpose? Such a list is impractical to figuring out the objects you've found.

JohnJ Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Keith, you are approaching this from the wrong end. You've decided what you want these things to be and you are looking for ways to prove it instead of looking at what you have, in the context you found it, and logically trying to identify them. Jpc, has already responded to you as someone who has seen a lot of x-rayed fossils. I've also asked you to read THIS TOPIC a couple of times because it also deals with x-rayed objects. Have you? Ramo has suggested a likely scenario that involves highly oxidized clumps of metal. You have asked for assistance because this is not your field of expertise. You are not an expert at interpreting x-rayed fossils. However, you appear to have dismissed the experience of people that have spent decades studying fossils and geology. What's wrong with that picture? Our members have pointed out the true fossils you have found; the other pieces are rocks or non-fossil objects. You may have emotionally invested in declarations of what you think these things are to those around you; but, it's not worth persisting in unrealistic ideas that you've found a dinosaur skull and eggs in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Run your finds up to the Calvert Marine Museum or the Smithsonian and let us know what they tell you.

You have put forth even more scientific inacuracies above, nothing you've stated is even remotely correct... You have ignored scientific reasoning from experienced members both armature and professional, and you continue on with your mis-led interpretation disregarding everything but your own incorrect assumptions. You have been met here with nothing but politeness and a willingness to observe the given specimens and provide information, which you clearly have no interest in.

You have to ask yourself, if someone sought your expert opinion in your business, then rejected it for all the wrong reasons...what would you think? If everyone here is conspiring to give you bad information, then it's probably best that you seek your answers elsewhere.

Auspex Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If you are so convinced of something, after having been shown solid, logical, scientifically sound reasons that it simply cannot be, that you resort to charges of conspiracy, then we cannot provide the help you need. All I can say is that we tried our best, but there is no point in belaboring this. We wish you well in all your future endeavors.

Kosmoceras Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Have we not seen this situation several times in the past?

Regg Cato Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Kind of being a bad sport here by saying IBTL, but this was an interesting thread (psychologically if nothing else) that once more goes to show that people will believe what they want to believe regardless of what the evidence may show. I must say it was entertaining at very least, and kudos on everyone handling this situation with about as much tact and patience as could be expected.

jpc Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Interesting thread indeed, and now it seems ridged has given up on us. His loss. I would just like to say that from a museum professional's point of view, we get these guys coming in to the museum every now and then. They are even more 'entertaining' in person. There was the guy from Utah who drove all the way to Casper to argue for his finds after all the paleo types in Utah told him he did NOT have a Precambrian sea monster. Google " Zoria" a serious adventure in eye-rolling mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
