There is no consistent case of "big bones being shallower or deeper than little bones", as the speaker suggests. In some cases it is true that this is how fossils are found but it certainly isnt a rule or anything. Anyone who has experience with fossils knows that this isnt even remotely a consistent case.
for example:
Cross-Bedding - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In the above link we have a cross section of fossiliferous bedding. The is cruziana above, cruziana below, siltstone above, silstone below etc. there no particular correlation between where fossils exist and their surrounding matrix in any way associated with density of sediment or grain size. the statement in the video is fabricated and is based on some form of misinformation or omission of details.
56:00- An individual suggests that because some remnants of degraded proteins have been recovered from acid treated fossils that this suggests that dinosaurs lived recently.
A. there is no research suggesting that degraded organic material cannot survive millions of years under ideal forms of preservation. Meaning that the argument is somewhat of a straw-man argument. Though certainly an interesting find, it's not objectively contradictory to an old earth.
B. Studies have suggested that DNA can last up to 8 million years when preserved under ideal conditions, and yet no one has ever discovered or sequenced dinosaur dna even though according to YECs dinosaurs were alive maybe even just a thousand years ago or less.
DNA has a 521-year half-life
"The team predicts that even in a bone at an ideal preservation temperature of −5 ºC, effectively every bond would be destroyed after a maximum of 6.8 million years. The DNA would cease to be readable much earlier — perhaps after roughly 1.5 million years, when the remaining strands would be too short to give meaningful information."
Another oversight and omission of detail by the video. If DNA can last millions of years, why dont young earthers have their own jurassic park? We've sequenced DNA of mammoths and neanderthals, sabertooths and other prehistoric megafauna (which lived roughly 10,000 years ago so its no surprise we have their dna to geologists), but why dont YECs have dinosaur DNA?
Thats right, because they've been dead for over 8 million years. Over 65 to be more accurate.
58 minutes in, the YEC uses an acidic solution to dissolve crystalline structures that have protected and preserved the degraded organics. its not like they pulled it out of the ground with blood coming out. But rather the bone has been preserved via permineralization which requires acid treatment to expose.
Ultimately it's an interesting find, but again, it is more of a new or recent discovery than it is a true argument against an old earth.
That's about it for this 10 minutes.
