Impossible, but...

I'm looking at the results of the radiocarbon tests and I just had to ask - is there any chance 172 was contaminated during its recovery?
Marta, if there was, I would have told you. It would have been in my report. What's the issue here?
I just can't believe what I'm seeing here. I've doubled checked the testing apparatus, but they're working fine. The results must be accurate. This thing looks like a piece of bad sculpture. But it's 1.2 million years old! It's made from a ceramic-metal alloy, but we only invented those in the 1940s! Who MADE this?
Aliens? Monkeys? The mole-people? Who knows, not our concern. Tell Derek, let him deal with it. This is a great example of why we have Ordo storage. You could always donate it to a museum, but that might cause a bit of a stir.
Fine, I'll recommend it for Ordo.... But I might ask D to keep it there for a little bit longer. It makes a nice centerpiece, don't you agree?
