11-Year-Old Girl and Dad Find 202 Million-Year-Old Fossil

A father and daughter duo found a fossil that may change what scientists know about prehistoric animals. Justin Reynolds and 11-year-old Ruby found pieces of fossilized bone on the beach in Somerset, England, in 2020. Those pieces turned out to be from the jaw of what researchers now believe was one of the largest animals ever to live on Earth. The bones were from a marine reptile called ichthyotitan severnensis. Experts say the ichthyotitan could have measured about 82 feet long.

No, they haven't. They only said that they have. There is not dating system that can accurately date rocks or organisms more than a few years. Radio-carbon dating is not accurate because the radiocarbon (isotopes) diffuses over time, which makes the measurements inaccurate.

no it won't because they destroyed the historical context of the fossil they should have left it where they found it and contacted the right people when you take a fossil, pottery, or even arrowheads from where you found them you destroy any historical context. they should be left where and how you found them. who knows what more we could have learned from the site where they dug them up just by how they lay in the sediment, what layer of sediment they were in, ect...
