Yep, it could, but since it is so short (with the small part in the ground and the top heavy part above ground), what kept it upright during the rest of the sediment burial process? That tusk tip is so small a strong wind would have blown it over in moist ground.

A data-free, test free assertion. Do you have a video from 130kya with the evidence? Just exactly how moist is moist? There is absolutely no way to test the speculated claims. That gives me an equal right to speculate data-free also, or is this a censorship game and only you get to make the speculations?

Then try eating or making tools out of the broken scatter of teeth. That's what the authors claimed the invisible hominins were there for...marrow and tool products. This is in spite of the fact the area is loaded with choice tool stone.

Where is your paper countering Ruth Gruhn in PaleoAmerica?

Just look at all the no hominin bones in 3 million square miles around Cerutti.
