Researchers drilling the boat-shaped Durupınar Formation in Turkey say they have not identified any material as ancient wood or established its age. Laboratory results are pending, and a hard layer encountered 4–5 meters down remains unidentified.
Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans, said the team recovered layers of rich organic material that it believes could be decayed Ark remains, but stressed this was a hypothesis being tested, not a finding. He previously said preliminary radar data did not show a simple, homogeneous solid-rock signature.
