A number of rare, Welsh dinosaur footprints preserved in rocks between the towns of Barry and Sully in the Vale of Glamorgan have been damaged by vandals.
Mr Langford, the founder of Archaeology Cymru (Archaeology Wales) stated:
“I took a group of ten students to give them the tour of the dinosaur footprints. I could not hide my horror at the damage which had been deliberately caused. We examined one print that had been filled with plaster of paris. On a visit to inspect the damage with another group later that same day, somebody had deliberately tried to smash it out with a breeze block, damaging the 200 million year old print in the process.”
It has also been reported that fires had been lit around the site and rubbish left, calls were made last night to provide this extremely important fossil site with greater protection.
And end up on ebay...
