Suggestion, fossils require HEAT and pressure, so maybe you could make a much, much smaller fossil using the same process as before, but after the allotted year, but the fossil, still unopened, in a kiln to further carbonize the fossil.

True, from dust we were created.

It’s the start just like any other fossil.

Sounds like a good experiment to run.

One year later, I was going to propose the exact same thing. Good thing I sift through the comments to not repeat it.

I also think of that. I want to try it.

It’s not a widespread curiosity it seems. Just a few people who dare to experiment with this.

@@lundgrenbronzestudios yeah it’s a shame I still can’t believe I found you doing this. I’ve looked for this kind of content everywhere and I just happen to follow you because I’m taking a jewelry class and really interested in lost wax casting lol

The word 'Subscribe' in red is your ticket to salvation. All u gotta do is click it. But wait, there's more... A bell🔔 will appear with options for notifications. Choose wisely. The Gods, however merciful they be, are still all powerful. May the force be with u, God speed, shuh-leg-wah!

Maybe it will get them in time.

When I die I want to be fossilized.

That would be worth a try!

Yes but the reason I chose hydrated lime is because I could create a boundary that would separate. Other materials have harder time cleaving apart. I’m sure there are ways though because there is no hydrated lime in nature.

Heat would probably help. I’m not sure how deep these fossils are when they naturally form, so I don’t know what the geothermal gradient was. But it was likely fairly hot.

Well I don’t think these were quite fossilized yet but nope, under the right conditions I don’t think it would take very long at all.

I banded the sides with steel banding, put beaming on the bottom and the top and cabled them together. And used several bottle jacks to add pressure. Technically it was just compaction, I wish I could have gotten a lot more pressure on it.

I also believe this was absolutely fascinating! I'd love to see how different pressures and temperatures...ie wet and humid vrs dry and arid at 20 tons and again at 60 perhaps

I had a concrete lid and a steel plate on the bottom and on the top connected with cables. Then I used hydraulic jacks similar to what I did here.

Yeah. More pressure would cause pressure dissolution and mineral precipitation. More than I can produce with my 20 ton jack.

I have no idea what the results would be. It should come out to 1 year but it would be fun to see.

I’ll have to perfect it first.

Because if I didn’t have water it would basically be mummified. The water helps bacterial action so the fish will decay away. The fish were flattened. In real fish fossils there is so much pressure the fish are paper thin and the flesh turns to carbon. Basically like coal but different.

@@lundgrenbronzestudios thanks, does the water also help the limestone fill up those areas when the flesh goes

Yes the limestone will dissolve in the water and it can then diffuse through the sediment to cement it together.

Coal has been synthesized by taking wood, water, heat and pressure. I’ve tried myself but didn’t get the seals to hold enough pressure. But yes the recipe for coal is fairly simple.

Yes, except it never happened.

@@Pfh3dk How would you explain the tree fossils standing up through so called millions of years of sediment layers? How do you explain mass fossil beds all over the world especially when we don't find fossils forming like this today.? How do you explain the enormous amount of fossil fuels and coal buried in the earth? I am not trying to be demeaning but just suggesting that you research the other side of the argument and you mind find that there is overwhelming evidence to support a world wide flood. Cheers

@@Truth.Is.Intolerant Okay, so let's do it. "How would you explain the tree fossils standing up through so called millions of years of sediment layers?" A: Trees that got buried by volcanic ash. Very common still today. "How do you explain mass fossil beds all over the world especially when we don't find fossils forming like this today?" A: For fossils of aquatic animals, you just need a lake and a massive die-off, which could be caused by many things. The causes include severe drought (which can increase salinity and decrease oxygen levels, as well as obviously decreasing the size of the habitat), algal blooms (which decrease the availability of oxygen and discharge a whole lot of toxic substances into the water), water turnover (which brings to the surface of the lake water rich in toxic gases and poor in oxygen from the bottom), landslides (which literally bury the animals) and, of course, volcanic eruptions. Again, all those things are still common today. "How do you explain the enormous amount of fossil fuels and coal buried in the earth?" A: Petroleum and natural gas are formed as oceanic microalgae die, sink to the bottom, and get covered by sediment. These algae are rich in oil, as it is their main energy storage. Over millions of years huge deposits of these oil rich dead algae are turned into the materials we extract due to intense heat and pressure from within the crust. The youngest petroleum reservoirs we have found are around 60 million years old. As for coal, all of it was formed during the Carboniferous period (around 360 to 300 million years ago) when plants first evolved the ability to produce lignin, a main component of wood. Back then, no organism was able to break down (digest) lignin, simply because it was a novelty (just like no organism is able to break down plastic today). So, after trees died, they would simply accumulate on the environment, without ever decomposing. Over millions of years this plant material turned into coal, again due to high pressure and heat of layers and layers of sediment. You tell me to do my research. Well, sir, I am a biologist who studied paleontology and geology for over 5 years, and I tell you with confidence that the overwhelming evidence supports evolution of life and the geological timescales. I'm sorry, but there is not a speck of evidence to support biblical mythology. The only "evidence" you have is the bible itself, which is considered as self-evident by uneducated people. I am not trying to be demeaning either, but I strongly suggest you sir to get out of the biblical literalism cave of ignorance and look for some actual research, get to know some actual evidence, and read some actual scientific textbooks. It will enlighten you and help you get rid of the handcuffs, blindfolds and mouth gags that religion has forcefully put on you. Cheers.

@@Pfh3dk @PedroFerreira-fh3dk if I'm honest, those answers seem overly simplistic and right out of the school text books that we all were forced to learn. We both know that your answers are only theory. Science is based on repeatabliity. None of these claims can be REPEATED, so we mearly have evidence to support one theory or the other. There is plenty of documented evidence by biologist, paleontology, geologists, etc etc that suggest the earth is not millions of years old and that there was a world wide flood. Of course I believe there was a Creator and I believe His words. You can believe your fairy tail and I'll believe mine. Cheers

I think this method would be a very ineffective way of making forgeries. It’s more for the sake of experience.

The mud really seals up any smell.

@@lundgrenbronzestudiosreally interesting experiment mate! To understand how fossilisation process works ! Thanks for sharing

No, it shouldn't. As cool and impressive this is, it only shows the beginning of fossilization process. Anyone with a minimum knowledge of paleontology and geology, with the appropriate resources, can fairly easily tell these from actual fossils.

😂

You should make a chicken fossil.
