Death Valley National Park, with its hot, forbidding desert climate and barren terrain seems like an unlikely target for robbers. But, apparently they found some of the park's historic riches hard to leave behind.

Ancient fossil footprints were removed from part of Death Valley's park territory, which covers more than 3 million acres in California and Nevada, according to a statement published by the National Park Service (NPS).

NPS said they believe the missing fossils were formed about three to five million years ago by the tracks of mammals and birds near what used to be a lakeshore.




Assholes. These things have already probably been sold.

"You mind if I call a buddy of mine over here to check it out, he is an expert on five million year old Dino footprints?"


Eta: that's what I get for not reading the thread and just shitposting

"...but they looked back and noticed that at certain points, there was only one set of footprints.

'Why?' They asked.

'Because that is when you carried them.'"
