And that is because the rate of
change (and of erosion) is orders
of magnitude greater than you think.

You didn't say anything, you just repeated your same imaginary tale.
Soft bricks last 30 years on a gravel beach and you can still tell
they are bricks. They aren't nearly as hard as a flint axe. If
anything should be turned to dust quickly it would be a brick, but
they don't.
Possibly (this is only a guess) bricks
have a lower density than rocks (i.e.
contain more small bubbles of air) and
are tossed higher on the beach by the
initial wave action -- and so escape the
pounding and grinding sufferred by
the bulk of the gravel.

This applies to objects as heavy as auto-engine blocks as well. Same
for handaxes.

What applies "to objects as heavy as auto-
engine blocks"?


"what" Crowley said did, perhaps you forget what you said?
and are tossed higher on the beach by the
initial wave action -- and so escape the
pounding and grinding sufferred by
the bulk of the gravel.

So it applies to anything similar to handaxes and engine blocks.

You don't see many over
30-years-old in the inter-tidal zone.

Liar. Metal and wood objects from Spanish shipwrecks on the Oregon
coast have been washing up on the beach at

south of the large outcropping. Many are below tide line and all
require some searching."
What part of "Many are below tide line ..." are you too stupid to
understand?

This is from some blog
You are not even cabable of citing from a blog to support yor
phantasies.


of a casual traveller
who probably thinks the world was created
6,000 years ago, and understands geology
and erosion about well as you -- or about
as much as the average worm, fly or
millipede does.

"Probably"? Is that the only lie your mind can generate?

This is from some casual pub drunk who thinks Neandetals couldn't hunt
and thinks there were no lions in Pleistocene Europe. "Hand axes were
produced by grinding, and at an economical rate by hominids.
Put them on a pebble beach and they'd be ground (and broken) to dust
within a
few years (or even months)."

Who do you think those on this forum are going to believe?

(a keeper in every post)


However, those cliffs will serve to show
how little you understand about this
planet. NONE of them are more than
12,000 years old (when sea-levels last
rose).

Sorry, the sea levels have raised and lowered many times over the ice
age or last two million years.

So what?

All that erosion took place in the last
12 Kyr -- and probably about 100 times
more than we can see. (Since we can't
see eroded landscape.)

No it didn't, nor did the web page say it did.


YET you maintain that marks cut into
an exposed rock would not wear away
in 300 years !

You forgot something

You forgot that you either couldn't read or that you lied about my not
having having posted a reference.

This 'reference' is yet another vague
arm-wave. There is NOTHING on that
page about those petroglyphs.

Lee
Never said there was, you simply snipped out my quote, bad move
clown.

Crowley can't read. Crowley phanticizes whatever it is he needs. I
wonder what kind of drinks they serve down at his pub that completely
blocks his mental process?

Don't bother snipping this out, because you will be seeing this again
often, this is a real keeper.
