    There are fossilized humans. Fossilization really doesn’t take that much time, geologically speaking; it just requires very specific conditions.

                For some reason, I don’t entirely believe you. Might be the whole God of Madness thing. You turning back into Jyggalag anytime soon? I’d like to know when to short the shit out of the entire market.

        I know there’s some animal fossils in New Zealand that date back to its colonization by the ancestors of the Maori, so about the 1400s. Though I don’t know if they are partially or fully fossilized.

        Your teeth can fossilise while they’re still in your mouth. We call it tartar.

      Also makes you wonder what fossils they mean, of the same species or then already extinct ones.

      Because according to a quick Wikipedia search the oldest hominid fossils (?) are something like 7 millions years old

      That’s much much shorter than dinosaurs where around but hey " hominins are around long enough to unearth hominin fossils"!
