According to creationists, out-of-place fossils are fossils which are somewhere that they shouldn't be, which disproves either (a) radiometric dating or (b) evolutionary and fossil history. Out-of-place fossils are basically out-of-place artifacts, but for creationism.

Arthur Chadwick, a creationist, sums up the problems with this approach pretty well:^[1]

[T]he conclusion that these findings support [creationism^{[note 1]}] is a non sequitur until all cause for concern regarding modern contamination has been eliminated.

Examples[edit]

• The Hakatai Shale pollen
• The Roraima pollen paradox
• The Paluxy River tracks
• The Cardiff Giant - one of the most famous of these supposed "out-of-place" fossils. An atheist who was fed up with the church created this 10 foot stone man to fool the masses and fool them it did.
