I'm not sure they are data. We have only Ed Conrad's word that he
found these rocks where he claimed to find them, and Mr. Conrad
appears to be the only one who can identify human body parts in the
amorphous chunks of black slate. Looking at his photos, I don't see
any hint of the body parts that he claims to see.

Good data collection techniques are a key part of the scientific
process, and Mr. Conrad appears to fall far short of the mark.

I suspect that Mr. Conrad knows this, and perpetrates this fraud
despite the fact that some scientists have made an assessment of his
petrified body parts in good faith, and found them to be
uncompelling. He even holds up their letters with pride, claiming that
his discoveries gain credibility in the face of the "conspiracy of the
pseudoscientific establishment".
