Park officials: Scout ripped out dinosaur tracks


VERNAL -- A set of 200 million-year-old dinosaur tracks at Red Fleet State 
Park were ripped out by a Boy Scout and tossed into a nearby reservoir, park 
officials said.

"They are priceless," said Jim Kirkland, state paleontologist. "This is an 
asset of the state that has been lost forever."

Rangers say there are only a handful of Dilophosaurus "track ways" of that 
age in the entire world. Track ways are sets of three or more tracks made by 
the same dinosaur.

The three track ways at the park -- one of which was severely damaged by the 
Scout on July 19 -- were not discovered until 1987, ranger Mike Murray said.

Kirkland said the 15-year-old Scout from West Valley City could face charges 
under the state Cultural Sites Protection Act, which makes it a third-degree 
felony for anyone to damage antiquities. Two other Scouts who helped throw 
rock slabs into the water could be charged with criminal mischief, Murray 
said.<

Is this what we're teaching our youth!? As the title of the message says, 
"Aaarrrrgghhhh!!!!"
