Wrote Bill O'Brien:
"There was a time when Conrad
regarded the integrity of the scientific establishment as beyond
reproach. But after seven years of dealing with paleontologists and
archaeologists, he said he has found them to be a devious and
untrustworthy bunch whose actions in relation to him have been
downright dishonest and deceitful."
"Conrad believes his discovery has
frightened members of the archeological/ paleontological establishment
out of their wits. They dread the truth, he says, because they know
their cozy little clique will be gone with the eons. No longer will
they be able to sup at the trough of Darwinism, enjoying soft jobs with
huge salaries."

This is the very first specimen that Ed Conrad
discovered in the Carboniferous-dated anthracite region of Pennsylvania
but the Smithsonian's experts dismissed it as a concretion, a rock.
However, petrified teeth were found inside the jaw-like area and an
infrared scan revealed the material is "compatible with either tooth or
bone in origin."
Smithsonian shenanigans!
Since the early 1980s, Ed Conrad has been accusing the
Smithsonian Institution of a lack of integrity in the honest
investigation of the object (pictured above) and other rock-like
specimens he has found in Pennsylvania's anthracite region, including
one which bears a distinct resemblance to the outline of a human skull
embedded in a boulder.

In June 1981, while exploring abandoned anthracite
surface-mining operations near Mahanoy City and Shenandoah, Pa., Ed
accidentally discovered a large object which bore a dramatic
resemblance to a large anthropoid skull.
Ed sent a color photograph to the Smithsonian Institution
and had a response from Raymond Rye II, museum specialist in its
Department of Paleobiology. Rye invited Ed to bring the specimen to the
Smithsonian so its experts could examine it.
Rye and Conrad agreed on a date and Rye mailed Ed a National
Museum of Natural History (NMNH) permit allowing his car onto
Smithsonian property so he could get to its west loading dock at the
rear of the museum.
On Aug. 25, 1981, Conrad and his friend Clayton Lennon, then
81, paid their visit, at which time Rye had different specialists
examine Ed's specimen resembling a large skull.
However, they performed no scientific testing whatsoever
while briefly examining it, then unanimously concluded it was not an
anthropoid skull, definitely not bone and undoubtedly a worthless
concretion (a rock).
At no time did Rye or any of the experts inform Ed that the
only authoritative manner of determining whether an object is bone is
by examining its cellular structure.
