We saved as many tracks from this site as we could over the last 3 years but were unsuccessful in saving the site for future generations. Another loss for New Jersey's natural resources. When will someone listen and protect our natural history in this state.NJTNTMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-46408232543642574502010-08-18T12:24:50.668-06:002010-08-18T12:24:50.668-06:00That really really sucks!

The fate of the actual tracksite is unknown but could be gone after this week.

It has been a tough battle but we are making progress. The important area may be preserved but needs further approval from the local parks commission. Don't give up on being a paleontologist yet :) Maybe you can help expand the NJTNTM as we need more help.

Ian,
Yes, ...I did my part and signed the petition.<br /><br />Ian,<br />Yes, businesses have little regard for things that don't fill their wallet. The same goes for endangered species and habitat conservation. They would rather churn out a profoit than see dwindling natural resources preserved for the future.<br /><br />Heather,<br />At least you're an undergrad! If fossils keep getting poached and paved over, and if paleo programs keep getting the axe, then I'll half to pick a new major before i get to a real college!Anonymoushttp://www.flickr.com/photos/jobarianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7578322515370564452.post-64839763801016535402009-12-02T07:40:22.946-07:002009-12-02T07:40:22.946-07:00Im a undergrad paleo student and if there is nothi...Im a undergrad paleo student and if there is nothing left for me to study after graduate school, I'm taking down businesses!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291006746009275475noreply@blogger.com
