Corroborated by CONICET press release and multiple news outlets attributing the 32,000-year snail date to researcher Martín de los Reyes, and stratigraphically consistent with the peer-reviewed PLOS ONE paper's dating of the Eloisa Member (~30,000-16,000 YBP). However, most secondary sources appear to reproduce the same press release rather than independently verifying the specific snail date, and no independent re-dating or species identification was found.
