And why do you think this is a jawbone, Ed?

Then answer the point, Ed, and actually DISCUSS it.

Why do you think it's a jawbone?

It doesn't even LOOK like a jawbone.

Wrong, Dave!
This isn't ONE petrified jawbone but a few, all different.
I rest my case.

Fine.

What makes you think that ANY of these are jawbones, Ed?

> I rest my case.

You don't have a case to rest; but regardless, I haven't rested MINE.

No you don't, Ed.

You made the whole thing up.

Did you happen to notice the part where Cornelius said he was a medical
professional?

Ah, but you'll just claim conspiracy and vested interest, won't you?

Actually, Ed, *I* have.

That is, if you mean fossils.

You don't have fossils.

You have rocks.

Sometimes you'll even lie about where they came from, like you did when you
told Dahl that the specimen you sent him came from Canada.

Which is, of course, irrelevant.

All you have are rocks, Ed.

And you seem to have trouble spelling your own name.

It's getting to you, isn't it, Ed?

Your guilty conscience, I mean.

Not even close.

Your problem -- same with others -- is that you probably have
never seen bones that are petrified.

As for identification as to whether they're bone, I quote from
he book, "Science in Archaeology" which
emphatically states:

Then explain this:

(Actually, this is a little disingenuous of me. Ed has explained
Andrew Macrae's analysis of Ed's samples. Ed's explanation is that
Andrew deliberately and fraudulently substituted a piece of sandstone
in place of Ed's real sample to make Ed look foolish. Ed has never
offered any evidence for this slander).
