A 15-year-old Boy Scout broke up rocks forming a 190-million-year-old
dinosaur track in Utah, and with two other Scouts threw the pieces into a
reservoir during a trip last month. Discovered in 1987, the rare 30 by
20-centimetre tracks at Red Fleet State Park were made by a meat-eater called
Dilophosaurus. The footprints had been left open to the public, but a sign
identifying them had been vandalised. Utah palaeontologist Jim Kirkland called
the lost tracks priceless. Park rangers have filed charges against the boys in a
juvenile court.
