Take fossilization issues elsewhere
Please take the issues about chances of fossilization to the "fossilization process" thread.
Then when we have settled what we think the number and type of whale fossils should be like we can return here. Meanwhile I'm going to close this one.

Reopended - Take fossilization issues elsewhere
Let's keep the fossilization issues as a separate topic. It deserves to be.

Re: Take fossilization issues elsewhere
Remember, ALL of the topics we discuss are linked to ALL others either tightly or loosely. We can discuss the fossil finding curve separately -- in fact I think it should have its own topic but in the fossilization topic is at least somewhat separated out. It will have value in discussing a lot of other topics than whales.
Remember that every single topic gets discussed over and over after a few months. Having them organized in a way which makes finding and referenceing them easier might save time in the future.
When that is resolved (however unlikely that is) we can bring the answer back here.
Meanwhile we can discuss other issues which randman has brought up.

Time to supply support
You have been asked for support for your numbers for several days. It is time to step up and supply them or retract your claims.
If you do neither you will start to receive suspensions to encourage you to do so. This will start within 24 hours after your next post.
