How do you carbon date aluminum?
Extremely ineffectively

That is what it looks like and the hole in the end looks machined out. Having said that WTF kind of excavator has an aluminum tooth?
Guess I was wrong did not know you could harden aluminum to be as strong as steel.
If you want a non-sparking tooth, you use Aluminum or Beryllium-Copper Alloy. My theory is that 250,000 years ago, pre-historic man was using alien derived excavators to place drums of highly flammable alien fuels. Naturally, they needed non-sparking teeth on the excavators, in case they accidentally struck a drum.

Already been debunked. It's an excavator tooth. Aluminum quickly oxidizes which explains the appearance.
Just google "excavator tooth" and look thru the google images. There are many different kinds but I found the exact tooth in google images.
Unless humans or aliens were using excavators 250,000 years ago which were exact replicas of what we use today, this claim is shite.

The margin of error for carbon dating aluminum is 250,000 years.
Or the margin of error for carbon dating aluminum is +/- whatever number you come up with.
Unless it's carbon based living aluminum?

Here are some copper aluminum alloy bucket teeth.
After thinking it over...it isn't aliens...it was time travelers. They went back in time with aluminum excavators...maybe the conductivity of the aluminum makes it easier to make the trip.

How do you date something like this? isn't it near impossible? You can't carbon date it obviously.
Posted on 10/21/16 at 8:30 am to HailHailtoMichigan!
That is a tooth from an excavator bucket. Lol

Not only can't you carbon-date aluminum, you can't get a reading of 250,000 years. It tops out at 40,000 years.

Yup, Carbon dating only works on organic material and is only good out to ~50,000.
Plus it's very obviously a modern piece of metal.

Pretty sure they get false reading on carbon dating.
It is laughable the credit carbon dating gets when it is so often wrong.

Okay. That only changes the discovery a little as far as it pertains to the mystery. Who the heck was making mechanical apparatus out of aluminum 50k years ago? Who! Huh! Can't tell us huh? That's what I thought bish!

First you would have to determine if that grade of aluminum was in commercial use in 1973 when the item was found.

I've work around and with bucket teeth for 20+ years. That's a bucket tooth, period.
