This one’s for Drew, it’s right up there you betcha ..  Dinosaur tracks to be given protection

 

1. Oh for Christ’s sake.  Take pictures of the area and the prints, excavate a few and put them in a museum, and call it done.  Protecting the entire area because of some fossilized footprints from 165 million years ago is madness.

2. My thoughts exactly. I was going to suggest a bit of funding to dig up 100 yards around, just to check for more, then chip out the prints and take them away. Rather silly to preserve them en situ. I figure that pretty much no matter where you are, dinosaurs walked there once. It’s nothing special. And it’s not a “resource” either.

3. Bite your tongues gentlemen. Whoever that dinosaur was, he has rights ya know.
   This being England and all.

   PS: The area they were found in, is a well known place for prehistoric fossils and bones etc. Not many ppl live in Dorset, lots downs, woods, generally a beautiful area.

5. Also—that’s a Meat-o-Saur footprint.  The carnivorous ones have a footprint like a chicken.  Interesting, huh?
