Wow. This is a flat-earther level of willful ignorance on display here.

I don't need to be subjected to a crackpot's ramblings in its entirety to know that the person talking to me is a crackpot.

I also wonder how many of these fossils get ground up and "used"?
A few years back they were saying no soft tissue could be preserved. Now they have found a dino brain. I bet a lot of petrified dinosaurs were destroyed because they only considered the bones. Now they see the feathers of some and see that the flesh of some of the mummified dinosaurs is there. They saw feathers and a skin layer. The meat is not real meat though, it has been permineralized into a soft rock. minerals go in and replace the chemicals of the meat so all there is is sort of a soft rock where the flesh was.

Seems like the oil sands could be a rich source of these kinds of finds. It is a for real dino-almost like it was when it wandered around.

I visit an area in Alberta where a deep ravine reveals an ancient riverbed over 250 feet below the surface till.....I have lots of samples of MEAT which is now heavily mineralised stone...and I mean pieces which have fat and sinews stuck to them and that you could lay down beside a fresh piece with little difference....color is right and grain is right,many small bone pieces as well,everything looks to have been put into a shredder and ripped to pieces,strangely enough 3-4 feet into this ancient riverbed I found a fragment of MACHINED quartz.....I began to drill a hole in one nice piece of flesh to make an amulet but stopped after only a few mm...it was very mineralised inside,crystalised in consistant color,almost like combonation of freeze-dried and petrified......every year I go back and search for the human finger or toe I know is out there.....lol.

I live up here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There are chunks of fossilized bones all over the place. There was a guy here at a rock show selling bone and I told him that we seem to have lots of pieces of bone here in rocks. Rocks the ants like to eat. He said he gets most of his dinosaur bone up here, he actually comes here not to sell bone as much to get it. He was laughing because people buy the slabs of bone here and they have no clue that one of every five rocks around here is dinosaur bone. The glaciers over the ages have ground most of them to chunks about the size of a football. No whole dinos here that anyone has found though. Stuff was pushed around a lot by the glaciers.
I remember seeing what looked like a big turkey drumstick behind our outhouse, a huge bone sticking out of a rock. I was maybe five and asked my father and uncle why it looked like a bone, they said because it is an old bone. I asked them what kind of animal it was from and they said a big animal, ones that are no longer around. It was still there thirty years ago but had deteriorated a little more then. I bet it is still there today. He dug that out of the field when he put it in. You will find a vertebrae every now and then or a piece of nuckle. My avatar is made from a marrow bone of a large animal, but nobody seems to know what it is from. Maybe a piece of an old mastadon bone or something else that is way bigger than a cow.

Thankfully, the success of the field of geology doesn't hinge on whether or not cranks choose to accept it as science.
That video is 5:30 minutes long and your replied just 3 minutes after I posted it, I hardly doubt you even looked at it before calling the video creators "cranks" ... If you had looked then you would have seen that he lists scientific research that contradicts the millions of years old fossils theory.

The very first reason they give is because carbon 14 dating on a triceratops horn gave a young date....except you can't use carbon 14 dating. This is scientifically proven. Various other dating methods including radiometrically dating the multiple rock layers around the prove that the dating method is not being used correctly in this instance. So your video is bunk just on that point alone.
You can do radiocarbon testing if you have soft tissue - and they had soft tissue. It was a university that did the tests and not the video makers.
