Basturds.................

[Darksheare]

Muzzies, as the print is an affront to all-ha?

[MeganC]

“Basturds.................”

I’m betting on Muslims.

[blam]

Low-IQ, pig-faced Moslems?

BS flows!

Probably a 2000 year old print at most.

Could easily be 100 year old.

[Red Badger]

That’s a distinction without a difference...................

[Sacajaweau]

I just can't see getting upset about this. They left it there instead of putting it in a museum.

I'm gonna bet they go after Grant Money to look for another one.

Ye old Grant Scam.

[Red Badger]

Maybe someone was trying to steal it..................

[EinNYC]

What a shame that others cannot value something of natural historical significance.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I tend to doubt that footprint is 100 years old.

[Simon Green]

Probably a 2000 year old print at most.

Could easily be 100 year old.

Australia had dinosaurs roaming around in 1917?

[semaj]

Trying to steal it.

[Kickass Conservative]

Sounds like those Morons who toppled a balancing Rock in Utah a few years ago.

[MNDude]

Muslims was my first thought also.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Damaged, but not destroyed. The print is still there, plus a few hammer marks. May the culprit's death be poetic.

[MNDude]

And how did you come to the conclusion?

[editor-surveyor]

.
They apparently still do if you know where to look.

But they’re smaller now, like everything else that lives on Earth.

2000 years ago the Dinos (Dragons in the parlance of the day) were still fairly large and fearsome to those that encountered them.

a 115-million-year-old three-toed dinosaur footprint in a national park in Australia.... one of the world’s few ice-age dinosaur sites.

I thought the ice age ended about 12,000 years ago
