Fossil Finds
This three-inch jawbone fossil is from a piranha ancestor that measured up to three feet long, four times bigger than its modern descendants. Megapiranha paranensis lived around nine million years ago and could be a link between today's flesh-eating piranhas and their vegetarian cousins, pacu. The fossil was found in Argentina in the early 1900s, but was not studied until the 1980s.

They still have not figured out when the Human species came to be here on earth. They where sent by a space ship anno 35 years ago. Abel killed kaine and rann of and mixed with the others. Adam came first and then Eve was given to Adam as a gift from the outer world.

You obviously are not a Paleontologist. The fossils ARE fossils as they resemble rock, not bone. The calcium in the bones has been replaced with rock. Not sure what you are talking about....But if you really truely doubt that every single one of these fossils is not fossilized, im sure you can get in contact with the finders, and the Universities and labs that dated them.

These bones don't appear fossilized to me....Wonder what the true age is...I don't see 200 million years ago as being anywhere near accurate...Especially if these are not fossilzed.....
