It makes me wonder... if I brought them a living, breathing dinosaur, would they be astonished that this creature could have lived to be 67,000,000 years old. Or would maybe one of them have the sense to say, "hey, maybe it's just not that old."

When they call it this, it casts doubts on the scientific community's ability to properly analyse such things. That feeds the ignorance of the flat-earthers. I would think a “mummy” was impossible.

Only in this case the tissue itself is allegedly fossilized as well as the bone. If they had any respectability left they'd at least try to clear that up while peppering the story with loaded words like "mummy" and "preserved".
