[ RadSafe ] Dinosaur Bones

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Radsafe,
 
     The Ancient Alien TV shows are usually on the  History Channel or the 
History Channel 2.
 
     For any budding field geologists or minerologists  out there, I'd 
recommend the book Pough's Field Guide to Minerals.  The  paperback edition is 
not expensive, and has many nice pictures of rocks and  minerals.

Been to  LaBrea many times..  I'd recommend it to anyone interested in
looking  at a window into California's past...

Joel,

No, there was no article.   Just my  observations from what I saw on
TV.

A road trip to the LaBrea tar pits would be  possible for  you????

Take Care.    Joe  Preisig

Dear Radsafe,

Hope you are well.   According to  television  (Ancient Aliens show) 
Dinosaur bones are  quite  radioactive
(Calcium, K-40, Radon, what else???).  Anybody ever   count any???   What

were the   radionuclides
present?????

They also suggest,  possibly, that  nuclear warheads were  also a 
possible mechanism for  ending the  dinosaur era.  Wonder who nuked
them????  I 
guess  some  dinosaurs survived the bombing (birds, some  reptiles,  some

dinosaurs, Nessie (Loch Ness), Coelocanths etc.).  I  guess   Ocean water
would be a 
pretty good shield against  nuclear  blasts.

I guess other mechanisms for dinosaur  destruction  were  
comets/asteroids, volcanoes,  etc.

If  nuclear bombing of the Earth did occur, then one   wonders how  
completely (by surface area) the Earth's surface  was   destroyed.  Is
the
iridium 
layer observed  worldwide rather  continuous in  extent and  thickness,
and

could it have been  produced by nuclear  warheads?   Or is the Iridium
layer  
distribution more  pointlike
(i.e. indicated by circular areas on the  Earth's surface,  i.e. kindof
like  
a Poisson  Distribution???).

Maybe  some of you can stop  laughing/guffawing now.   Time to  get
your 
favorite Geiger  counter or portable MultiChannel  Analyzer and
Germanium

detector  and count some bones at your  local museum.

One Ancient  Alien Archeology site had traces  of  radioactivity, but
the  
buildings etc. were still  standing.
Did someone have a neutron bomb way  back when????  Of  course, the
Ancient 
Alien shows never tell you  the activity  levels present or the
radionuclides 
which were   present.

Regards, Joe Preisig
