Looks like the evidence points to the favor of pushing back the fossil record some 90 million years. What do y'all tthink? 
The lunatics will insist that their silly god put that there to confuse mankind.
Fundies are easily confused, you know. 
It's a beautiful thing isn't it? Genetic evidence pointed an older ancestor and lo and behold we're able to find one! I sure hope this find is substantiated and investigated more, that entire geological area sounded like an amazing source of information!

 Fascinating read. Thanks for sharing! Does anyone know why Australia has such ancient rocks in such abundance? From a geological/tectonic point of view I mean.
"A man who keeps one eye on the past is blind in one eye. A man who ignores the past is blind in both."
Here's a good explanation on Australia's rocks, nothing formal but simple:
"You are right. Australia is not near a tectonic plate boundary and so it does not suffer earthquakes directly from that source. Australia is an "old" continent made up of deep layers of old rocks which date back to Precambrian times. These old rocks form thick slabs of rock called cratons - eg the Yilgarn craton in Western Australia. These huge areas of cratons act like thick, massive slabs of rock which are less prone to deformation and failure under crustal stresses. The Earth's crust is much thicker in such areas. In many areas of Australia upwelling granite magma over time has solidified to "weld" the thick granitic crust togetrher thus further reinforcing it."

It's all about waiting. Slowly but surely we will continue to find more evidence.
