Suggest this topic go into dates/dating.
Dr. Carl E. Baugh's Doctoral Dissertation
The Hammer
1. Does this hammer present a problem to the current evolutionary timeline? It was found in 1934 in Cretaceous rock in Texas, which would date it 100 million years before humans came around according to the ToE.
2. This hammer doesn't rust due to the chlorine in the iron. This doesn't have anything to do with creation/evolution, but rather how this much iron came about to have chlorine in it.
(96% iron, 2.6% chlorine and .74% sulfur ) mixture
From what I understand, this can be duplicated today on the molecular level, but it can't be mass produced. The chlorine in the iron gives it protection from corrosion.
Pictures from the CEM site.
The London Artifact was found near London, Texas in Kimball County. The site is part of a large geographical zone called the Edwards Plateau. It primarily consists of Cretaceous rock.
The density of the iron in a central, cross-sectional plane is shown in Photo K16. It shows the interior metal to be very pure, with no bubbles. Modern industry cannot consistently produce iron castings with this quality, as evidenced by test results that show bubbles and density variations that have caused pump and valve bodies to break.
To verify that the hammer was made of metal, they cut into one of the beveled sides with a file. In the resulting nick, bright, shiny iron was exposed. The bright metal in the nick is still there, with no detectable corrosion. The metal hammerhead is approximately six inches (15.24cm) long with a nominal diameter of one inch.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8

Your own writing should predominate. Introduce the topic and describe your position. Use links as references. Extensive cut-n-pastes should be avoided. Here's a link to the Forum Guidelines, see rule 5. Sorry the Forum Guidelines do not currently have an easily accessible link, you joined just as the forum was undergoing a significant revision. This will be remedied soon.

Condensed and corrected.
I figured the info/pictures in the forum would be a better presentation than anything I could add. But I tried.

The requirement that members make their point in their own words is to ensure the member understands the material. Without this requirement we often discover that someone has posted a link he doesn't understand, or that the link is too general (e.g., "See Dinosaur Adventure Land for proof!"), or even worse, that the link doesn't make the point the member thought it did. While this requirement is perhaps unfair to those who do their homework, we have to enforce the guidelines equally for everyone.
The pictures were great, and if you'd like to embed them in your own discussion instead of in Carl's I think that would make a very effective opening post.

Ok, can I post the pictures with the appropriate captions from the body of the text from the site?
The pics by themselves don't mean much.
