Claim CC110:

Two greenish human skeletons were excavated from Jurassic sediments in the Big Indian Copper Mine near Moab, Utah.

Source:

Burdick, Clifford, 1973. Discovery of human skeletons in Cretaceous formation. Creation Research Society Quarterly 10: 109-110.
Barnes, F. A. 1975. The case of the bones in stone. Desert Magazine 38(2) (Feb.): 36-39.

Response:

  1. The bones were found fifteen feet deep in loose sand, not in a rock matrix. Their postures were similar to known Indian burials. The bones were unfossilized and partly decayed, and dating them yielded an age of 210 +/- 70 years. In short, they were a fairly recent burial (Kuban 1998).
