Carbon Dating
https://www.labmate-online.com/news/news-and-views/5/breaking-news/how-accurate-is-carbon-dating/30144 excerpt: "Essentially, this means that carbon dating, though a useful tool, is not 100% reliable. For example, recently science teams at the British Antarctic Survey and Reading University unearthed the discovery that samples of moss could be brought back to life after being frozen in ice. The kicker? That carbon dating deemed the moss… Continue reading Carbon Dating
Research on Early Hominids – China
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/11/science/hominins-tools-china.html Although it is questionable as to whether or not the stones in question were actually formed by hominids or naturally, there are a lot of interesting issues brought up in this paper regarding dating of rocks using the magnetic flip in the earth, and issues regarding the migrations of early hominids.
The Earth’s Magnetic Field, Sea Floor Spreading, and dating Continental Drift
The development of the theory of Continental Drift https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/developing.html Earths Magnetic Field - is it flipping? https://www.space.com/43173-earth-magnetic-field-flips-when.html?utm_source=sdc-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20190131-sdc This information establishes the way in which the earths crust has changed over time, and is very similar to reading the rings on a tree and dating its age.

Birds & Sense of Direction
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/04/180406091756.htm Excerpt: Researchers have made a key discovery about the internal magnetic compass of birds. Biologists have identified a single protein without which birds probably would not be able to orient themselves using the Earth's magnetic field. The receptors that sense the Earth's magnetic field are probably located in the birds' eyes. Now, researchers at… Continue reading Birds & Sense of Direction

Dinosaur Eggs -Very Colourful
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-46096317 check out the photo of the Dinosaur Deinonychus Excerpt: Why do some birds lay colourful eggs? From pale blue to speckled red, they come in every shade and hue. The answer, say scientists, is that coloured eggs evolved millions of years ago in birds' ancestors, the dinosaurs. The patterns and colours may have served… Continue reading Dinosaur Eggs -Very Colourful
