Dumb Tourists destroying 200 mil years old dinosaur fossil at Utah Park, Here's Why
In an embarrassing act of shame, tourists at the Utah State Park are destroying the ancient dinosaur tracks that are nearly 200 million years old. Officials reported that the visitors at the park are throwing the sandstones carrying the footprints into the Utah Lake. Park officials have not yet found the actual reason behind such act of vandalism but some believe the visitors might be doing such an undesirable activity without realizing the true potential of the rocks
Josh Hansen who works as a manager at the Utah State Park said that he was shocked to see a boy throwing way large amounts of the sandstones into the lake while Hansen was casually boating across the water body. Hansen said it concerned him when he his eyes quickly fell on the tracks of dinosaurs that the sandstones carried on them. Hansen stated that it is an integral part of the history which needs to be protected.
“Some of the tracks are very distinct to the layperson,” Hansen said,”but just as many are not. That is why it is important to not disturb any rocks at the dinosaur trackway.”

A 23-year-old woman who caused an uproar
after defacing rocks at national parks across the West, including two in Colorado, pleaded guilty on Monday and was sentenced to probation.
Casey Nocket, of San Diego, admitted to seven misdemeanor counts in a Fresno, Calif., federal court where a judge ordered her to serve two years on probation and complete 200 hours of community service.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto also mandated that Nocket be banned from federal park lands during her probation,
prosecutors say. A plea agreement reviewed by The Denver Post shows Nocket also will write a formal apology to the National Park Service.
Nocket painted and drew on rocks with acrylic paints and markers at seven national parks, including Rocky Mountain National Park and the Dinosaur National Monument. She shared her work on social media, which drew outrage.
