Yes, Ed Conrad is a nutjob. Unfortunately, there is nothing a person can do about him, except ignore him. below is a web page that discusses his claims in detail. Carboniferous human bones -- an evaluation http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/~macrae/t_origins/carbbones/carbbones.html Ed also claims that the folded Carboniferous strata, from which his siderite concretions come, are part of an impact crater. An excerpt from the Geologic Map of Pennsylvania, 1980, compiled by Berg et al. (1980) of the area can be found at: http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/~macrae/t_origins/carbbones/shenandoah.jpg Chonosuke Okamura and Silurian Minman There was a Japanese paleontologist, who also went off the deep end. He described from petrographic thin sections what he though were miniature millimeter-sized remains of various modern animals and fossil humans from Silurian limestone. He published a couple of formal monographs about his “discoveries.” In histhin sections, he also found dragons, horrific denizens of the mini-world of Mount Nagaiwa. and the “head of a miniman in the alimentary canal of a dragon.” For more information, go see: 1.
