Found in a formation famous for its dinosaurs, supposed to be 140 million years old (lower cretaceous). Max Han was fishing with his family near London, TX when he found a rock with wood protruding from it. When the rock was cracked open, this octagonally shaped iron hammer was exposed. The wood handle is partially coalifed with quartz and calcite crystalline inclusions. Tests performed at Battelle Laboratory document the hammer's unusual metallurgy, 96% iron, 2.6% chlorine and .74% sulfur (no carbon). Density test indicate casting of exceptional quality. A unique coating of FeO, which does not readily form under present atmospheric conditions, appears to inhibit rusting.
The enclosing rock contains Lower Cretaceous fossils. It is a concretionary sandstone nodule from the nearby cliff which is made up of concretionary sandstone nodules.

This is a known Hoax. The owner of the handle is a creationist who has resisted any scientific study of the artifact but enough has been done to prove it is not what he claims.
Here is some detailed information on what they actually found: London Hammer Hoax
Again, duplicate thread. This one should be closed.

Very interesting, did they do any radio carbon dating on the wood handle?

2) Old existing thread: If the existing thread is more than 3 months old, reference the thread or threads in your first post by linking to them, then as above, indicate your new twist on the older discussion topic.
Well if someone is going back to the past then why would they leave evidence behind? Also why would they use such crude equipment?
