Perfect 215-million-year-old dinosaur print found by girl, 4, on Welsh beach ! come on mate you need to get active
If I was a paleontologist you'd be correct. Being an archaeologist means you're not, old mate! It's a brilliant news item, though.
What would an archaeologist do if they were looking for old stuff (yes that's as technical as it gets for me) and they came across what they believe was something dinosaury mid dig?
Stop digging out the fossil. Get in touch with the university's Paleontology Department and inform them of what has been uncovered. Protect the fossil until the appropriate representatives arrive and take over that part of the excavation.
