Utah fossil site is about to be destroyed. Paleontologists are asking for your help!

The St. George Dinosaur site has a wealth of dinosaur footprints, fossils, and other things preserved in the rocks and the town is planning on bulldozing it to build a power station at the end of April. Paleontologists are scrambling to save the site and they need help.

This is a 0 budget project that was suddenly assembled.

See this video from Paleontologizing explaining what's happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD0jLYK8ydY
