*** To be fair, the virus was ''airborne''. Even though they hadn't confirmed this at the time, this was the reason they wore the masks. Once they removed their masks to calm Elizabeth down so she wouldn't shoot them, they realised that they most likely infected anyway. Putting a mask back on wouldn't help by that point.

**** The chances of something dead surviving as a fossil to the modern day are [[NeverTellMeTheOdds billions to one]]. Then you have to find said fossils, when for all you know they may have been either exposed, eroded into dust and [[KillItWithWater washed far away]], or else buried kilometres deep under ocean floors, mountain ranges, [[KillItWithFire lava flows]], [[KillItWithIce ice caps]] or tectonically active regions.
