Still Waters Posted March 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2012 In the remote Kamchatka peninsula (map below), 200 km from Tigil, University of Saint Petersburg archaeologists discovered a strange fossil. The authenticity of the find has been certified. According archaeologist Yuri Golubev, occurs that, in this case the discovery surprised scientists by its nature, at least - unusual, able to change history (or pre-history).It is not the first time that is an artifact, an ancient object, something like this is found in that region. But, surprisingly conserved, this specific artifact is - at first glance, inlaid in rock (which is understandable since the peninsula is home to numerous volcanoes). Subjected to analysis, the conjunct showed to be made of metal parts that seem to form a mechanism, a gear which may be of a type of watch or computer. The astonishing is that all the pieces were dated in 400 million! of anos Read more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted March 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Perhaps this is just the fossil of an unknown lifeform verses it being a gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerberusxp Posted March 8, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 8, 2012 A 400 million year old Spacely sprocket or Cogswell cogs manufacture? The implications here are truly AMAZING. Watch this get swept under the rug in no time at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ealdwita Posted March 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yes! Hopefully they realize this soon... Ok then Miss Sarcasm, please select the most likely alternative:- a. An archeology team wishing to get their names in the public eye and/or their funding renewed. b. A news publication team looking to improve its circulation or c. The clutch and gearbox assembly of a 400,000,000 y.o. Volkswagon Campervan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightly Posted March 11, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2012 yup, fossilized life forms. I was reminded of Diatoms when i saw the picture, i've found plenty of similar looking fossils. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://tolweb.org/tree/ToLimages/stephanodiscus2.250a.jpg&imgrefurl=http://tolweb.org/Diatoms/21810&usg=__Yu1Gwi_ig4-hz6BSSksciBLVU2I=&h=250&w=286&sz=68&hl=en&start=1&zoom=1&tbnid=TTlD-KAHSM7nCM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=115&ei=35tcT_6oIeLv0gGhxsnSDw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Ddiatoms%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1 http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/chromista/diatoms/diatomdiverse.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/chromista/diatoms/diatommm.html&usg=__Cgk8TyPWR8KNKQNOD6g9MHP377Q=&h=480&w=640&sz=77&hl=en&start=4&zoom=1&tbnid=0Wj5wDRRGScE3M:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&ei=35tcT_6oIeLv0gGhxsnSDw&prev=/search%3Fq%3Ddiatoms%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1 Or, ya ...c.

Astral Hillbilly Posted March 13, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It looked like a faulty reverse ionizing thruster from a UFO to me. Just kidding. It is an amazing find. It's tough to grasp that it could be that old though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paracelse Posted March 13, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) And Gobulev ponders: Refuse the existence of technology [even in past as indented] is a serious mistake because evolution is not linear. Once scientist will accept that, many mysteries of ancient past will start to make sense. Infortunately the movie Idioracy is showing our tendency to devoluate.

Helen of Annoy Posted March 16, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Since when are fossils made of metal? The article clearly states Subjected to analysis, the conjunct showed to be made of metal parts... Metal parts, not stone. Life forms do not turn into metal in fossilization process. Maybe it's not an ancient machine, but if it's really metal, then it's not fossil either. It's better idea to dispute the dating than to call it a fossil.
