Yup.. should be more carefull. It is a great pity when people of any persuasion misrepresent things.

I didn't pay much attention to the hammer, usually finds like that are used merely to illustrate that it doesn't take zillions of years for things to be encased in rock etc. for example there was a drink bottle discovered under an old building here in Sydney that was encased in a stalegmite, but could only have been there 100 or so years.

I was interested in footprints but these too seem to be unverifiable, some from Russia, not proven hoaxes, but not confirmed either.

Thanks for pointing that out.
cheers,
