Re: Rivet Analysis Finally
Uhhhh...Tennessee? You're not a chemist, I presume, and neither was Wyatt, so you perhaps can be excused from not knowing this.
That's from your second link. There's no metal, as in a rivet, in there at all! There are only oxides and/or silicates and aluminates - "ores," maybe, in the vernacular. It looks like the analysis of some rock that is kin to clay minerals, with a speck more titanium than average thrown in. SiO2 is silicon dioxide - sand! Not normal rivit material, I'm sure you'll agree. And it makes up nearly half the sample.
You've been misled.

Re: Organic C in ark "wood"
but the one from inside yielded a 4.95% carbon content, an amount that was consistent with the presence of prior living matter,
Or limestone, which is all inorganic carbon, though normally laid down a living source. It's 12% carbon when pure. Coal is maybe 60 to 70%. I'm very unimpressed so far.
Galbraith Labs, incidentally, is top-notch for elemental analysis: they did some for me in grad school. But they have no control over the samples they're sent, or of what the senders claim for those samples.
