That might leave some archeologists very confused, especially when they try to date it and it turns out to be from the future.

it would probably be paleontologists since no human existed at the time and dating just doesnt work like that, since the saddle fossil still aged millions of years (also from stuff this old its hard to age things, so its more probable something around the same layer would be aged instead of the specific fossil)

well obviously I was making a joke about the dating part
