I believe huge areas, if not all, of present-day Scotland was underwater at the time of that creature’s life.

Still, it will get th’ legend-weavers going, won’t it? :wink:

So all those 150 million year old sightings were true?
Wow

:smiley:

A FOSSIL of one was found.

According to my preliminary research, the terrain around Loch ness is composed of granite, which is not the kind of rock in which you’d expect to find fossils - the whole thing screams “hoax”.

At least he admits it might be faked.

This is so fake it’s hardly worth discussing. How convenient it was discovered during the tourist / “no-news-we’ll- print-any-old-rubbish-to- fill-the-column-inches” season.

Loch Ness sits on granite. You don’t get fossils in granite. It also sits on a surface that was scoured down to the bedrock during the last iceage. So where exactly did this fossil pop up from?

The fossil fairy?

Now, if it were a plesiosaur tooth
:smiley:

This explains why Nessie has been so elusive. She’s a 150 million year old ghost!

I’m glad I’m not the one whe disturbed that ghost’s grave! :smiley:
