Mammoths, Dinosaurs and Neanderthals: Living Together?

There is convincing evidence that soft tissue and other biomolecules have survived from the Mesozoic to the present, possibly because of their interaction with blood iron and/or carbonate adsorption. Here we present the results of investigations showing that ancient biomolecules and their decay products contain significantly higher percent Modern carbon (pMC = ¹⁴C/¹²C) values than diamond and coal. South African diamonds yielded pMC values of from 0.16 to 0.11 pMC, or ages of 52,000 to 55,000 Carbon-14 years before present (¹⁴C years BP) [Baumgardner et al., 2003]. Ten coal specimens from the United States from Eocene and Pennsylvanian strata were 0.33 to 0.16 pMC, or 46,000 to 52,000 ¹⁴C years BP. By comparison, our field and lab study of ten dinosaurs from Texas to Alaska plus China yielded much higher pMC’s of 6.50 to 0.61, or 22,000 to 41,000 ¹⁴C years BP after pretreatment to remove old and modern soil contaminants. The evidence for endogenous pMC was further enhanced by the δ¹³C range of -20.1 to -23.8 for collagen, -16.6 to -28.4 for bulk organic, and -3.1 to -9.1 for CO3 fractions. This data clarifies why such biomolecules have persisted. These unexpected results call for replication to determine whether they are anomalous. If not, the implication is that a portion of the geological time scale should be condensed, indicating a higher risk to Earth of meteorite impact due to greater frequency. We recommend systematic ¹⁴C dating of similar samples taken from different parts of the entire geologic column.  [Hugh Miller, Robert Bennett, Jean de Pontcharra, Maciej Giertych, Marie C. van Oosterwyck-Gastuche et al.

This study demonstrates that cataclysmic events on earth occurred in much more recent times. Their conclusions seem to accord with many of my own. They conclude:

Our tentative conclusions are:

1. The 65 to 150 million year ages attributed to dinosaurs are apparently erroneous.
2. The 45 million years between the Late Cretaceous and Late Jurassic epochs are also mistaken, since dinosaur fossils and coal from these strata exhibit equivalent ¹⁴C ages.
3. Dinosaurs apparently coexisted with both Neanderthal and Modern man for a period of time. Distinct dinosaur depictions exist world-wide, apparently because contemporaneous people actually saw them. For example, see Figures 5 and 6.
4. The diverse evidence provides a simple explanation for the survival of soft tissue and bio-molecules in some dinosaur fossils, beyond any possible contribution of biofilm and blood iron. Such complex organic substances should not survive burial past 100,000 years [41], [42].
5. The 19^th century hypothesis that sedimentary formations took millions of years to form is clearly contradicted by 14C ages for Neanderthals, wood, coal, amber, shale and dinosaur bones as well as with studies of sedimentary deposits in moving water, including mudstone. These studies demonstrate simultaneous deposition of multiple strata in rapidly moving water [Figure 2]. This leads to the possibility that extensive sedimentary formations were deposited by one or more cataclysmic events only thousands of years ago rather than millions.
6. The minute amounts or absence of collagen found in dinosaur bones could be at least partially attributed to their burial in megaflood deposits, with associated leaching, so that only the CaCO3 of bioapatite could be ¹⁴C dated.

It would seem to me that the dates based in the study the period of 75,000 to 56,000 Carbon 14 years is the period of 2005-1850 BC, 56,000-50,000 is the Triassic, 56,000-19,000 is the Jurasic-Cretaceous-Paleocene-Eocene 1850-1654 BC.   

It has confirmed for me my theory or proposal that the Jurassic and Cretaceous were synonymous.  The results on wood, coal, amber and soil confirm further that with Jurassic and Cretaceous that Eocene and thus Paleocene are also synonymous. this study also suggests that the so-called Pennsylvanian period may not have been before the Flood (Permian) but after and is synonymous with the Jurasic-Cretaceous-Paleocene-Eocene period.

The study states in regard to mammoth fossils: 

The range of ¹⁴C ages for 363 mammoth samples (pMC 33 to 0.16, or 9,000 to 52,000 ¹⁴C years BP) is similar to that of samples from eleven dinosaurs (pMC 6.5 to 0.61, or 22,000 to 41,000 ¹⁴C years BP).

Thus I would say the mammoth fossils demonstrate that they survived well after 1654 BC whereas the dinosaurs flourished  between 1850-1654 BC as did Neanderthal man. It would seem that for every thousand carbon 14 years at this time that it was 5.3 years in human time. The cataclysmic events of 1850 BC that destroyed the tower of Babel began this period and it ends with the cataclysmic events that destroy Sodom and Gomorrah in 1654 BC.

In a similar way in the Triassic period  between 2005-1850 BC a 1,000 carbon 14 years possibly represent about 6.45 human years. My premise is that the Carbon decay rate was not constant over time and that the decay rate was different in different major periods. The dates in the study rely on the decay rate of today in our modern era being read back into the past. I personally hold that the present decay rate has only been since about 1530 AD and before that it differs in different periods. The decay rate is also affected by other factors such as being submerged in water and solar radiation. Thus I conclude that in the period between 1850-1654 BC J-C-P-E Carbon decayed in one year that today would take about 187 years.
