why haven't you formally reported their existence and challenged the scientific community with your findings? Becaaaause, unless you have a Ph.D after your name you have no credentials and cannot get a hearing. This phenomena is closely related to the 'Not Invented Here' syndrome. No academic is going to listen to a layman or quote them.

History is full of stories about the little guy actually making a difference. Of course, if you have yourself convinced that you can't win and don't even try, then the naysayers have already won without having to lift a finger to justify themselves.
In this case, it sounds like a very small town. Maybe just getting a local reporter to do a little article about some 'mysterious footprints' found in the rocks in a local creekbed would be all that would be needed to get a little attention and at least get the rocks examined and dated.
