Fossilized Dino & Human Feetprints...

Great Debates
1

Some time ago (quite some time ago) I saw a TV program that showed some fossilized footprints in a riverbed or someplace like that. Reportedly, there were human footprints and dinosaur footprints. I have never heard anything about that since (except for people occasionally mentioning it to me). Someone mentioned them again at work tonight and I couldn’t recall anything about it (except what I mentioned above).

So, where is this mysterious fossil? Was it a hoax? Were the dino footprints actually something else? The human prints? Were these tracks laid down by Fred Flintstone walking Dino along the beach? Please help. My reputation as a know-it-all is in peril.

The Paluxy River footprints.

Mostly poor scientific investigation, delusion based on what the investigators wanted to see, with a dash of fraud.

Here are a couple of sites for your reading enjoyment:

Paluxy Dinosaur/"Man Track" controversy (This one may be the same as the one Jon mentioned, but I’m not sure, so I figured I’d throw it in.)

Or, to make things easier on me (which I’m always in favor of :wink: ) you could go to Search the Talk.Origins Archive and search on Paluxy.

It’s a mirror of the one I posted.

This is one of those “scientific anamolies”. You can go to Yahoo and pull it up. There are probably hundreds of sites that attempt to address things like this. Many of the sites talk of unorganized conspiracies within the established scientific community to silence scientists and anthropologists who’s findings or views differ from the community at large.

This is just another one of those stories like batteries embedded in coal, space helmets on Mayan temple drawings, and crystal skulls.

Needs, have you forgotten to take your medication today? Just asking, cause you’re talking crazy talk.

Just because those people are screaming about the UFOs, Bigfoots, Nessies, etc doesn’t mean they are correct. Do a little research, please. I could point you to book after book that will totally demolish these claims if you like, but I bet you aren’t interested since scientists are conspiring to lie to you anyway.

Uh, Lemur? W H O O O O O O O S H ! !

I didn’t get the impression that Needs2Know was agreeing with the conspiracy-theorists at all. (The batteries embedded in coal line kinda gave that away.)
