Older rocks are usually dated by uranium or potassium isotopes. Northeast Thailand has a number of potash deposits, which are well suited for potassium dating. Once the ages of these are determined then adjacent formations may also be dated and correlated accordingly. The ages of the sedimentary formations in the Phuwiang area are well known, so then it's just a matter of determining which one the fossil was found in.

Carbon dating does not go back that far because there is no carbon in the fossils. They are usually dated from the rocks that they are found in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post overherebc Posted July 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2019 If you want to see dinosaurs alive today just throw some breadcrumbs out and they will appear quickly. Some two legged dino fossils being examined now have what we call a wishbone in the breast area. So it looks like T-Rex could have been a big nasty chicken including feathers. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a previously unknown animal be identified? It is being identified as being previously unknown, which means they have no other bones that match it.

You only have to look at the legs and feet of many modern birds - particularly the large flightless ones, to see the connection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Wonder how many of the posters on this thread got as far as 80,000,000 year old dinosaur discovered in Thailand and read no further? It was found 30 years ago and was being examined where it is now, Bonn, Germany, not on a kitchen table in Udon-nakhon-nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all those ideas came from the Bonn University in Germany. No wonder Merkle has the shakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 There are some excellent & very informative replies to this thread, we obviously have some well educated members amongst us. It is a shame though that some members seem to have had a serious case of 'Sense of Humour Failure'. Chill out & relax, take in the information and enjoy the lighthearted humour that accompanies it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things advance in all fields it really is pointless to stand firm on what you were taught/learned at school/university. I suppose Darwin kick started the whole thing and it just keeping better as time goes on. I was fascinated the first time I saw a programme on puppy dogs. The pups of all different breeds all look exactly the same when newly born, maybe the colour is different but that's about it. Takes a while for the breed characteristics to appear.
