Dozens of fossilised dinosaur footprints have been discovered on rocks used to pave a section of hiking trail in Valley Forge Historical Park, in Pennsylvania. 9News

There are also distinctive patterns in the rock thought to be caused by the cracking of dried mud, and from the ripples of a lake or river.

"There's no question that they are" dinosaur trace fossils, said Santucci, who examined them in person last April. "They're consistent with the tracks that occur in equivalent-age beds all over the East Coast." There also happens to be a significant Ice Age fossil location beneath the Valley Forge park, the Port Kennedy bone cave. First discovered in 1871, it has produced fossils that include giant tapirs, ground sloths and sabre-toothed cats.

There are at least 35 Park Service properties known to have fossil tracks of ancient vertebrates, and vandalism and theft have been a problem. Federal law prohibits visitors from disturbing park elements.

I reckon it might be Hell no! If it's such a good idea, Craig Kelly can subsidise it himself with his healthy pension after he's booted out. It’s funny how CraigKellyMP is asking for the tax payer to underwrite this god awful project. And yet, when it comes to Renewables, this guy is silent. I mean, this guy shouldn’t even be in Parliament...one word, preselection 😉

Were 20 useless solar farms built by foreigners don’t effect birds but the Adani mine that will create 14000 jobs does! Clean Energy? I can not imagine why. Unfortunately we still need coal generators for at least another 20 years, everyone needs to relax, coal generators are being phased out. We need power get over it. But morrison and Co say its the only way to go.
