    If an amateur paleontologist had not spotted the slab of rock and its fossilized footprints that one day, it would have been obliterated by construction.http://nyti.ms/2GBPz03

        And we wonder why we can’t conduct any new construction projects.... not saying these fossils aren’t important, but these continual restrictions pose a real delimma for our national priorities.

        I dont believe its been as long as people think sice Pangea existed. Only 1,200 ice ages. Man has been foud dating back much farther than religious groups want you to know.

        Come to California and interview crews who’ve worked on construction crews grading hillsides for new homes. They come across fossils/burials ALL THE TIME, and just continue grading, at the owners’ orders.
