DINOSAUR TRACKS DAMAGED - The Bureau of Land Management has stopped construction at the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Tracksite after an assessment found that dinosaur tracks had been damaged due to the project.

At the end of January, FOX 13 News reported that the Center for Biological Diversity issued a"cease and desist" letter to the BLM, urging them to immediately halt the project due to damage done to the historic dinosaur track site.

Social media posts claimed that a backhoe had driven over and destroyed as much as 30 percent of the paleontological resources at the site. On Wednesday, the BLM reported one of their regional paleontologists had conducted an assessment of the area and preliminarily determined that"some damage occurred to dinosaur footprints at the project site," a statement from the agency reads.
