From ancient geological strata comes what have been labeled OOPARTS, or Out Of
Place Artifacts. These are what appear to be recently produced items and
imprints found in natural mineral formations millions of years old.
Conservative historians and archaeologists, who hold to the concept of linear
cultural development, point to the ancient Middle East as the home of the very
first metal production. Here, they claim, man began to melt and shape copper,
iron, gold, and silver only 8,000 years ago.
1572
From the Archives of Madrid a letter
dated 1572, comes the account of the
Spanish Viceroy in Peru and a strange
artifact, which came into his
possession. A perfect six-inch
nail was later
presented
to the Viceroy as a
souvenir, who had it thoroughly
examined, and verified it was found in
rock dated to 75,000 to 100,000 years
in age.
1820 From The
American Journal of Science and Arts, 1820 comes the account of an ancient tool
discovery. At a quarry near Aixen-Provence, France, in 1788, 40 or
50 feet below ground in
a
layer of limestone were found coins, petrified wooden
handles of hammers, pieces of other petrified wooden tools, and a
quarrymen's board. The limestone was 300 million years old.
1822 The
American Journal of Science from 1822, north of Pittsburgh an unusually flat
rectangular surface, 3 feet long and varying from 5 to 6 inches wide was found.
On this flat surface were row after row of evenly spaced, perfect diamond
shapes, each with an oblique, raised band across its center. The pattern
is too precise to be natural, the diamond shapes too square to be designed by
anything but an intelligent hand. In fragments of the impressed rock, were
found fossils of primitive jointed plants, dating the find to the Devonian era,
400 million years ago.
1822 The
American Journal of Science, 1822 reported a number of man track impressions on
an outcrop of grayish-blue crinoidal limestone along the west bank of the
Mississippi for 3 miles just south of St. Louis. The foot lengths were 10 1/2
inches wide.
1826 In a well dug near the Ohio River in north Cincinnati at a level 94 feet down, a
buried tree stump was found which showed the marks of an ax. The marks were deep
and well cut, indicating the use of a sharp and durable blade. The ax used was
confirmed to have been made of metal when, embedded in the top of the stump, an
advanced oxidized wedge of iron was found. The layer in which the stump was
found was dated to be between 50,000 and 75,000 years old nearly 10 times the
accepted age of the supposed first metal usage.
1829 From the
American Journal of Science, an account sent by a correspondent, to Prof.
Silliman, of something that was found in a block of marble, taken November 1829,
from a quarry, near Philadelphia. The block was cut into slabs. By this process,
it is said, was exposed an indentation in the stone, about one and a half inches
by five-eighths of an inch. A geometric indentation: in it were two
definite-looking raised letters, like 'I U': only difference is that the corners
of the 'U' are not rounded, but are right angles. We are told that this block of
stone came from a depth of seventy or eighty feet---or that, if acceptable, this
lettering was done long ago.
1844
On June 22, 1844, this curious report appeared in the London Times: "A few days
ago, as some workmen were employed in quarrying a rock close to the Tweed about
a quarter of a mile below Rutherford-mill, a gold thread was discovered embedded
in the stone at a depth of eight feet." Dr. A. W. Medd of the British Geological
Survey wrote in 1985 that this stone is of Early Carboniferous age between 320
and 360 million years old. Who dropped this gold thread in the ancient fern
forests in a distant time when the most advanced life forms on the planet where
amphibians and insects?
1845 From a
communication by Sir David Brewster, 1845, a nail had been found in a block of
stone from Kingoodie Quarry, North Britain. The block in which the nail was
found was nine inches thick. The quarry had been worked about twenty
years. It consisted of alternate layers of hard stone and a substance called
‘till,’ The point of the nail, quite eaten with rust, projected into some
'till,' upon the surface of the block of stone. The rest of the nail lay upon
the surface of the stone to within an inch of the head---that inch of it was
embedded in the stone.
1851 In the June
1851 issue of Scientific American, a report was reprinted from the Boston
Transcript about a metallic vase dynamited out of solid rock in Dorchester,
Massachusetts. The bell-shaped vase was 4 1/2 inches high, 6 1/2 inches at the
base, 2 1/2 inches at the top and an eighth of an inch thick. The metal of the
vase was composed of an alloy of zinc and a considerable portion of silver. On
the sides were six figures of a flower in bouquet arrangements, inlaid with pure
silver, and around the lower part a vine, or wreath, also inlaid with silver.
The chasing, carving, and inlaying are exquisitely done by the art of some
unknown craftsman. This vase was blown out of solid pudding stone from 15
feet below the surface. The estimated age was 100,000 years.
1851
In Whiteside County, Illinois two copper artifacts, a hook, and a ring were
brought up during the drilling of a well from a sand stratum 120 feet deep. The
stratum was dated at 150,000 years old.
1851 The London
Times, December 1851: Hiram De Witt, of Springfield, Mass. dropped a piece of
auriferous quartz about the size of a man's fist. It split open and there was
found inside a cut-iron nail, slightly corroded and the size of a six-penny
nail. It was entirely straight and had a perfect head.'"
1852 Scientific
American, June 1852. During blasting work at Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1851,
the broken halves of a bell - shaped vessel were thrown by the force of an
explosion from the vessel's resting place within a bed of formerly solid rock.
The vase, about 4 1/2 inches high, was made of an unknown metal and embellished
with floral inlays of silver - the art of some cunning craftsman.
1853
A horned lizard was found inside a block of stone, in New Mexico, in 1853. The
stone was "so solid as to preclude the entrance of the smallest insect". The
lizard was sent to the Smithsonian Institute, where it died 2 days later.
1856
The last of the pterodactyls (flying reptiles with leathery wings and long,
toothy beaks) died about 100 million years ago, according to established
scientific opinion. But in the experience of a number of startled French
workmen, the last one died in the winter of 1856 in a partially complete railway
tunnel between the St. Dizier and Nancy lines. In the half-light of the tunnel,
something monstrous stumbled toward them out of a great boulder of Jurassic
limestone they had just split open. It fluttered its wings, croaked, and died at
their feet. The creature, whose wingspan was 10 feet 7 inches, had four legs
joined by a membrane, like a bat. What should have been feet were long talons,
and the mouth was arrayed with sharp teeth. The skin was like black leather,
thick and oily. At the nearby town of Gray, the creature was immediately
identified by a local student of paleontology as a pterodactyl. The rock stratum
in which it had been found was consistent with the period when pterodactyls
lived, and the limestone boulder that had imprisoned the winged reptile for
millions of years was found to contain a cavity in the form of an exact mold of
the creature's body.
1857 Between
1857 and 1866 in gold mines on Table Mountain, northwest of Needles, California
were found bones of extinct mastodons, mammoths, bison, tapirs, horses, rhinos,
hippos, and camels, all dating from the Pliocene period. Also found among
the fossils was a stone disc used for grinding, a large stone bowl, part of a
human crania, a stone mortar a complete human skull. It was determined that the
items were 12 million years old.
1865
A two-inch metal screw was discovered in a piece of feldspar unearthed from the
Abbey Mine in Treasure City, Nevada. The screw had long ago oxidized, but its
form, particularly the shape of its threads, could be clearly seen in the
feldspar. The stone was calculated to be 21 million years in age.
1865
Excavating for the Hartlepool waterworks in
Durham England, in 1865, workmen accidentally freed a living toad from a block
of magnesian limestone 25 feet down.
1867 At
the Rocky Point Mine, in Gilman, Colorado, at a depth of 400 feet excavators
found human bones embedded in a silver vein and a well-tempered copper
arrowhead. The vein was dated at 135 million years old.
1867
It is reported that James Parsons, and his two sons, exhumed a slate wall
in a coal mine at Hammondville, Ohio, in 1868. It was a large smooth wall,
disclosed when a great mass of coal fell away from it, and on its surface,
carved in bold relief, were several lines of hieroglyphics.
1869 The Los
Angeles News of December 17, 1869 reported a smooth slate wall covered with
strange alphabetic writing had been discovered in a coalmine at a depth of 100
feet. The letters were raised and well defined. The coal that had covered
the wall bore their distinct impression, which means the letters date to a time
when the coal was in a vegetable state and had molded itself against the wall.
Each sign was three-quarters of an inch in size, and arranged in rows precisely
spaced 3 inches apart. The coal was from the Carboniferous era, well over 200
million years old.
1870 At Lawn Ridge, 20 miles north of Peoria, Illinois, in August of 1870, as a well
was being drilled the pump brought up a small metal medallion to the surface.
The strange coin / medallion was composed of an unidentified copper alloy, about
the size and thickness of a U.S. quarter of that period. It was remarkably
uniform in thickness, round, and the edges appeared to have been cut. Researcher
William E. Dubois, who presented his investigation of the medallion to the
American Philosophical Society, was convinced that the object had in fact passed
through a rolling mill, the edges showed clear evidence of the machining. Both
sides of the medallion were marked with artwork and hieroglyphs that had somehow
been etched in acid, to a remarkable degree of intricacy. One side showed the
figure of a woman wearing a crown or headdress; her left arm is raised as if in
benediction, and her right arm holds a small child, also crowned. The woman
appears to be speaking. On the opposite side is another central figure, a
crouching animal wth long, pointed ears, large eyes and mouth, claw-like arms,
and a long tail frayed at the very end. Below and to the left of it is another
animal, which bears a strong resemblance to a horse. Around the outer edges of
both sides of the coin are undecipherable glyphs - they are of very definite
character, and show all the signs of a form of alphabetic writing. The stratum
from which the coin was extracted was dated between 100,000 and 150,000 years.
1877
Prospectors near Eureka, Nevada
found a human leg bone and kneecap sticking out of solid rock. Doctors examined
the remains and determined they were from a very modern-looking human being, and
one that stood over 12 feet tall. The rock in which the bones were found was
dated geologically to the Jurassic Period, over 185 million years old.

1880 Workmen drilling a
well discovered a doll-like figure sometime before 1880 near Marlboro in Stark
County, Ohio. The image made of black variegated marble and standing 6 inches
tall was unearthed from a depth of 120 feet. The layer in which the doll was
found was dated at over 300,000 years.
1880 Near
Loch Maree and Victoria Falls, Scotland, the hollow impression that would be
left by double bars of iron placed closely together. was discovered. The
observation was corroborated years later when micro-specks of iron oxide were
taken from the impression cavities. The bands occur high above the falls in an
almost totally inaccessible place, where a "structure" would serve little
purpose. The sandstone in the impressions show tiny striations, which are really
the preserved grain marks of the iron, indicated the metal had been impressed in
the primordial sand, before solidification took place. The sandstone in which
the bands occur is Cambrian dating to 600 million years old.
1882
Near Carson City, Nevada, a layer of sandstone was found covered with fossilized
animal tracks, including those of an extinct mammoth along with several human
tracks were also found.
1884 The London Times,
June 22, 1884: Workmen quarrying rock, close to Tweed, about a quarter of a mile
below Rutherford Mills, discovered a gold thread embedded in the stone as a
depth of 8 feet.
1884
Fossilized human tracks were discovered in a rock quarry near Managua,
Nicaragua, in a layer containing 16 to 24 feet below the surface, geologically
dated as being over 200,000 years of age.
1885 In the fall of
1885, at an iron foundry near Bocklabruck, Upper Austria, in a piece of brown
coal that had been mined from the pits at Wolfsegg, near Schwannstadt, a
cube-like metal object was found. The composition is iron, carbon, and a
small quantity of nickel. The coal dated to the Tertiary Period making it
60 million years old.
1885 The American Antiquarian reported a find east of the town of Berea, Kentucky.
Preserved in the layer were the fossilized impressions of several creatures,
including two well-preserved prints of a human being. They were described as
"good-sized, toes well spread, and very distinctly marked." In 1930
geologists discovered a total of twelve 9 1/2-inch human tracks and portions of
others, and confirmed that they had indeed been impressed upon gray Pottsville
sandstone dating from the Upper Pennsylvanian period dating them at over 300
million years old. One track had a distance from heel to heel of 18
inches, a giant by any standards.
1885 The American
Antiquarian, 1885 gave the account of another find associated with the St. Louis
footprints. "A particular set of tracks was described in detail. Directly
before the prints of these feet, within a few inches, is a well-impressed and
deep mark, having some resemblance to a scroll, or roll of parchment, two feet
long by a foot in width." The squared impression was not a natural shape;
neither were scratch marks that would have indicated the patch had been carved.
Rather, the evidence points to the parchment impression having been made when
the rock was still in a plastic state, made at the same time as the footprints.
What such a find suggests is that the prints' owners were not only men, but were
men with the intelligence to produce some form of paper sheet - and perhaps
write upon it. The limestone, in which prints and paper appear, is dated
to the Mississippian age dated 345 million years ago.
1885 A well driller
discovered a little clay doll that had come from below a 15-foot layer of lava
rock, 100 feet of sand, 6 inches of clay, 40 feet of more sand, then 165 feet
composed of clay, sand, clay nodules mixed with sand, and coarse sand layers for
a total of 320 feet. The small "doll" is composed of half clay and half quartz,
and though badly battered by time, the doll's appearance is still distinct.
It had a bulbous head, with barely discernible mouth and eyes; broad shoulders;
short, thick arms, and long legs, the right leg broken off. There are also faint
geometric markings on the figure, which represent either clothing patterns or
jewelry. The doll is the image of a person of a high civilization,
artistically attired. The layer in which the doll was found was dated at over
300,000 years.
1891
The June 11th Morrisonville Times reported: "A curious find was brought to
light by Mrs. S. W. Culp last Tuesday morning. As she was breaking a lump of
coal preparatory to putting it in the scuttle, she discovered, as the lump fell
apart, embedded in a circular shape a small gold chain about ten inches in
length of antique and quaint workmanship.
1891
Near Cleveland,
Tennessee a length of wall
was discovered which was
traced for a thousand feet, on the average 2 feet
thick and 8 feet high, with numerous projections spaced along the top every 25
to 30 feet. The wall ran roughly at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees east. The
structure continues on beyond the section exposed, in both directions, following
the crest of a ridge that extends from the Hiawassee River north of Chattanooga
southward, where it dips beneath the Tennessee river. Its position dates it
geologically to near the beginning of the Quaternary Period, well over a million
years old. The wall is composed of red sandstone blocks constructed in three
courses, cemented together with dark red clay mixed with salt, and in numerous
places is plastered over with red, slate and yellow clays. Along one stretch of
wall, near the northern end a distance of 16 feet, a number of the sandstone
block surfaces were covered with the hieroglyphs of a lost language. The letters
were arranged in wavy, parallel and diagonal lines, interspersed with small
pictures of strange animals, many unidentifiable. There were other symbols, of
the sun and crescent moon, which appear to have some astronomical significance.
All together, 872 individual characters were discovered.
1896 From
the American Anthropologist, 1896 comes the finding of a perfect human imprint
in stone near Parkersburg, on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River. The
track was 14 1/2 inches long, and was found embedded in stone dated at 150
million years old.
1897 The April 2,1897 edition of the Daily News of Omaha,
Nebraska, carried an article titled "Carved Stone Buried in a Mine," which
described an object from a mine near Webster City, Iowa. The article stated:
"While mining coal today in the Lehigh coal mine, at a depth of 130 feet, one of
the miners came upon a piece of rock which puzzles him and he was unable to
account for its presence at the bottom of the coal mine. The stone is of a dark
grey color and about two feet long, one foot wide and four inches in thickness.
Over the surface of the stone, which is very hard, lines are drawn at angles
forming perfect diamonds. The center of each diamond is a fairly good face of an
old man having a peculiar indentation in the forehead that appears in each of
the pictures, all of them being remarkably alike. Of the faces, all but two are
looking to the right. Was this stone carved and left behind by a traveler from
earth's future?
1908
The most famous man tracks are those on the banks of the Paluxy River, near Glen
Rose, Texas. First observed in 1908, the massive number of finds reveals a
mixture of man and animal types having lived all at the same time. There are
heavy brontosaur tracks, the talon marks of the feared Tyrannosaurus Rex,
three-toed tracks of other dinosaurs, and the imprint of a saber-tooth tiger,
which was supposed to have lived only a few million years ago, not in the era of
the giant lizards. A good number of the
human
prints are bare, others show signs
of moccasins or thin sandals. In one instance the fossil print the
impression of the lacing on the moccasin is still visible. Some human
tracks show footprints with modern shoe sizes from 7 to 13, others are of
children, whose prints are both proportionally smaller. Several however, are 16 inches and many with 21 inch feet and a seven-foot stride. In other
words, they were giants. A most remarkable fact is that the human and
dinosaur prints cross each other, showing that the two had both crossed when the
rock had been mud. The significance of these examples was noted by Dr. A.
E. Wilder Smith of the University of Illinois: "One authentic man-track found in
the same stratum as one authentic brontosaurus track throws out one hundred
years of evolutionary teachings. It is sufficient to bring the whole Darwinist
theory down and revolutionize all biology today." The stratum, in which the
tracks were found date to the early Cretaceous, between 120 and 130 million
years.
1921
In Arkansas, north of Finch a large rock-sculptured head of a man was
discovered. It stood about 4 feet high, and the figure had a squared, protruding
chin, small, tight-lipped mouth, a short nose, and a furrowed brow and stare
accented by two flat "buttons" of inlaid gold for eyes. Two more gold discs
ornamented the figure's ears, and a heart-shaped plug of copper was embedded in
the chest. A carved hood that draped down the nape, and attached around the neck
covered the top of the head. Near the head, and in the same layer, a
number of smaller objects; a gold ring, a small coffer made of volcanic pumice
(which does not exist in this region), and tiny carvings of men, animals, moons
and stars were found. The stone sculpture was discovered in the ten-foot
layer of gravel geologically dated at 175,000 years.
1926
November 1926, Mrs. S. W. Culp, of Morrisonville, Illinois, was breaking coal
into smaller lumps for her scuttle, one day in 1891, when she noticed a chain in
the midst of the coal. When she reached down to pick it up, she saw that the two
ends of the chain were firmly embedded in two separate pieces of coal that had
clearly been a single lump only moments before. The age of 260 million year was
determined for the chunk of coal
1926
In a mineshaft southwest of Billings, Montana, a human tooth was found in an
Eocene deposit dated at 30 million years old.
1927
In Fisher Canyon, Pershing County, Nevada, in January, 1927, an imprint from the
heel of a shoe which had been pulled up from the balance of the heel by suction,
from the mud when the rock was still in a plastic state at the time. The
shoe print was in a layer of Triassic limestone dated at 225 million years old.
The rock was later examined at the Rockefeller Foundation, and confirmed to
indeed be a shoe heel. Microphotographs revealed that the leather had been
stitched by a double row of stitches with the twists of the threads being very
discernable.
1927
W. W. McCormick of Abilene, Texas, reported his
grandfather's account of a stone block wall that was found deep within a coal
mine: "In the year 1928, I, Atlas Almon Mathis, was working in coal mine No. 5.,
located two miles north of Heavener, Oklahoma. This was a shaft mine, and they
told us it was two miles deep. The mine was so deep that they let us down into
it on an elevator.... They pumped air down to us, it was so deep." One evening,
Mathis was blasting coal loose by explosives in "room 24" of this mine. "The
next morning," said Mathis, "there were several concrete blocks laying in the
room. These blocks were 12-inch cubes and were so smooth and polished on the
outside that all six sides could serve as mirrors. Yet they were full of gravel,
because I chipped one of them open with my pick, and it was plain concrete
inside." Mathis added: "As I started to timber the room up, it caved in; and I
barely escaped. When I came back after the cave-in, a solid wall of these
polished blocks was left exposed. About 100 to 150 yards farther down our air
core, another miner struck this same wall, or one very similar." The coal in the
mine was Carboniferous, which would mean the wall was at least 286 million years
old. According to Mathis, the mining company officers immediately pulled the men
out of the mine and forbade them to speak about what they had seen. Mathis said
the Wilburton miners also told of finding "a solid block of silver in the shape
of a barrel... with the prints of the staves on it," in an area of coal dating
between 280 and 320 million years ago. What advance civilization built this
wall?
1934
Members of the Hahn family discovered a rock, sitting loose on a rock ledge
beside a waterfall outside London, Texas. The site primarily consists of Cretaceous rock (75 to 100 million years old). Noticing
that this weathered rock had wood protruding from it, they cracked it open,
exposing the hammer head. To verify that the hammer was made of metal, they cut
into one of the beveled sides with a file. The bright metal in the nick is still
there, with no detectable corrosion. The unusual metallurgy is 96% iron, 2.6%
chlorine and .74% sulfur (no carbon). Density tests indicate casting exceptional
quality. The density of the iron in a central, cross-sectional plane shows the
interior metal to be very pure, with no bubbles. Modern industry cannot
consistently produce iron castings with this quality, as evidenced by test
results that show bubbles and density variations that have caused pump and valve
bodies to break. The handle eye is partially coalifed with quartz and calcite
crystalline inclusions, oval shaped, and roughly 1" x 1/2''.
1936
In Plateau Valley, Colorado, during the excavation for a winter cellar to store
vegetables, at a depth of 10 feet a pavement made of tiles, each man-made and
five inches square was discovered. The tiles were laid in mortar, the chemical
composition of which was different from all materials found in the surrounding
area. The pavement was found in the same layer containing the three-toed Miocene
horse, dated to 30 million years old.
1948
On November 27, the following statement was made by Frank J.
Kenwood in Sulphur Springs, Arkansas. "While I was working in the Municipal
Electric Plant in Thomas, Oklahoma in 1912, I came upon a solid chunk of coal
which was too large to use. I broke it with a sledge hammer. This iron pot fell
from the center leaving the impression mould of the pot in the piece of coal.
Jim Stall (an employee of the company) witnessed the breaking of the coal, and
saw the pot fall out. I traced the source of the coal, and found that it came
from the Wilburton, Oklahoma, Mines. According to Robert O. Fay of the Oklahoma
Geological Survey, the Wilburton mine coal is about 312 million years old. What
advanced civilization or visitor was creating or using iron pots in our past
more than 300 million years ago?
1948
A shoe impression was discovered near Lake Windermere, England and reported in
the natural history journal, The Field. The print displayed signs of craft and
artistry. Around the edge of both the heel and the foreshoe were circular
impressions, which resemble tacking, while in the center of the sole and heel
are faint decorations of linear and flower-like designs.
1958
In Tuscany, Italy a human jawbone was found at a depth of 600 feet, in a coal
mine encased in a Miocene stratum, geologically dated at 20 million years.
1959
In the Gobi Desert of central Asia in 1959 a fossilized print of a shoe with a
ribbed sole was found, in sandstone dated at 15 million years.
1961
In February 1961, east-southeast of Olancha, California. a geode was discovered
containing the remains of some form of mechanical device. Beneath the
outer layer of hardened clay, pebbles,
and fossil inclusions is a hexagonal
shaped layer of a substance resembling wood, softer than agate or jasper. This
layer forms a casing around a three-quarter inch wide cylinder made of solid
white porcelain or ceramic, and in the center of the cylinder is a
two-millimeter shaft of bright, brassy metal. The shaft was discovered to be
magnetic. Surrounding the ceramic cylinder were rings of copper. Also
embedded in the geode were two other man-made items, a nail and a washer.
An X-ray examination of the cylinder object enclosed in the fossil-encrusted
rock, found further evidence that it was indeed some form of mechanical
apparatus. The X-rays revealed that the metallic shaft was corroded at one end,
but on the other end terminated in what appeared to be a spring or helix of
metal. As a whole, the "Coso artifact" is now believed to be something more than
a piece of machinery. The carefully shaped ceramic, metallic shaft and
copper components hint at some form of electrical instrument. The closest modern
apparatus that researchers have been able to equate it with is a spark plug.
The rock in which the instrument was found was dated at 500,000 years old.
1968
In June 1968, in Antelope Springs, Utah a human sandal print fossil was
discovered in a Cambrian Wheeler shale formation. The sandal print measured 10
1/4 inches long, pointed in the toes, rounded in the heel, and with a squashed
trilobite in the center of the sole. The Utah Geological Survey examined the
fossil and found no irregularities or evidence of fakery, determining the print
was genuine. The Cambrian shale was dated at over 600 million years old. The
fossils in the prints are trilobites, supposed to be among the earliest forms of
life on earth.
1968
At Saint-Jean de Livetin, France a quarry revealed unusual metal nodules
entombed in an Aptian chalk bed. The nodules were reddish brown,
wafer-shaped,
and hollowed at the ends, measuring from 3 to 9 centimeters long
and 1 to four centimeters wide. Chemical analysis showed a carbon content
consistent with modern forging and casting techniques. The beds dated to the
Cretaceous Period making them over 120 million years old.
1969
On June 27,1969, workmen cutting into a rock shelf situated on the Broadway
Extension of 122nd Street, between Edmond and Oklahoma City, found an inlaid
tile floor, found 3 feet below the surface, and covering several thousand square
feet. A form of mortar was found between the tiles that were dated at 200,000
years old.
1969
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1969 sandstone strata filled with fossil tracks of now
extinct creatures and many human tracks, which dated back between 3 and 5
million years.
1973
Southwest of Moab, Utah, two human skeletons were found in formations over 100
million years of age.
1979
Dr. Rex Gilroy, director of the Mount York Natural History Museum of Australia,
discovered a giant human impression on Mount Victoria. The track was dated at
200 million years of age.
