Sea lilies- 280 million years ago.

[dlamberth]

"Approximately 280 million years ago, during the late Permian period, the region now known as Gascoyne Junction was submerged under a vast, shallow sea. This marine environment provided ideal conditions for the growth and proliferation of crinoids. The sedimentary layers that formed during this period encapsulated the remains of these marine creatures, preserving them as fossils. The specific conditions of sedimentation, combined with mineralization processes over millions of years, have resulted in the exceptional preservation of Jimbacrinus crinoid fossils."

They probably died after the Flood.

 

[awstar]

I wonder why it appears they all died at the same time and were all so close together when they died.

I wonder why it matters...

 

[Agirlowhseeksyeshua]

They probably died after the Flood.

Agreed.
Carbon dating can easilly be off by all those years simply because the earth was formed with full grown plants and animals, not seeds and eggs.
This simple fact would make everything appear older than 10,000 years.

Then it's a good thing they don't use carbon dating for fossils then.

Im a not sure they they you are referrinh to because up to date, carbon dating is the most common type performed.
Look it up

Do you wonder why it matters they all died at once and so close together, or why I wonder, or why I said I wonder.

I said I wondered because those were the questions that first came to me. The answer I discovered when I went looking was because their stems attach themselves to the floor. So they all died at once, and they lived that close together.

Now the question that comes to mind is how they came to be fossilized. It seems from the picture that they must have been "washed off" of any sediment before the sediment turned to rock. Or maybe they were covered with sand quickly after the died, and the sand covered them until they were found. But that doesn't really matter either, does it?

But it's not though. Carbon dating isn't used to date fossils since the half-life of carbon-14 is only 5000 years, so it can't be used to date fossils from the Permian period.

I misunderstood where you were coming from with your questioning. My apologies.

Carbon dating is used to date organic material, not fossils.

I was wondering the same.

Correction... 50,000, which on this website is a vigourously debatable topic... that the Earth could be 50,000 years old.
Don't correct people with false information, especially when they're statements are facts. You really seem to want a to argue with me and thats sad.
Still new to this site, although I hope you aren't representative of the entire community on here.

No, the half-life of carbon-14 is only 5000 years, thereabouts. I did have to double check, but I am correct.

And the only one spreading false information is you, and it's a fact that carbon dating, as in the use of carbon-14, isn't used to date fossils. Various other forms of radioisotope dating is used for fossils but not carbon dating.

Correcting bad information isn't arguing.

I'm confused. It doesn't look to me like Warden was in an argumentative stance. He was only bringing forth information that corrected the idea of Carbon dating being used to date fossils.

Because it's not uncommon for plants to grow in groups, clusters, colonies, etc.

As I found out later; technically they are animals, not plants. They look like animals when they are dead, but they live in one place, tethered to the sea floor with their "stem" or stalk -- so they lived like plants. They can still move around though.

Looks like an infestation of face-hugger Aliens!

Cause of death was probably the result of bein' nuked from orbit:

That is incorrect.

I mean, they're not wrong on that front.
On this website, people do dispute that the world is younger than 50,000 years.
