If you had looked at the site I linked to, it says:

Fluorine analysis can be used only as a relative dating method because the rate of decay and the amount of dissolved minerals in the ground water varies from site to site. In other words, the biochemical clock that this method relies on runs at a different rate in different environments. Fluorine analysis is primarily used for verifying whether or not two fossils in the same strata at a site were in fact contemporaneous. If not, then at least one of them must be physically out of context.

They're talking about the mineral content of the water. I'm talking about the water itself. Water isn't distributed evenly underground. Even an inch or two can make a huge difference.

Archaeologists can also look at other fossils existing in the same stratum of rock, which could possibly extend for miles.
Yep. And water exposure is assumed to be the same when anyone can look at practically any patch of grass and see this is a false assumption.

And as I said, we know the evolutionary history of some fossils so well (such as foraminifera) that they can be used as index fossils to help date other fossils found with them.
But not all are privy to revelations from the evogods, and those who aren't face a choice: reason in circles, or decline to reason in circles. You absolutely must assume evolutionism is truth before you can imagine the existence of an "index fossil".

For purposes of verification, it's obvious neither flourine evodates or index fossil evodates are remotely close to sufficient.
