Auspex Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 It's not clear to me in the article; is there a chance that they will preserve "the wall"?

fossiljunkie Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 sad to see. the combination of the almighty dollar, development, and so called progress. Today's the day! Mel Fisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Someone posted on this topic a while back along with the online petition to sign. I sign it and asked people on the forum to sign as well, I am sadden that they were only able to get 2000 names. To be honest, they cant even sell the homes that we already have in NJ let alone new ones. The home values have gone down in the last year by 10 to 20 percent alone. Remember people this isn't just a problem in NJ, it is happening all over. We are losing our nature history to developers all over, and in the name of so called progress. BTW, the homes that they are talking about in the article are being build for people working in New York but want to live in NJ, or at least that is what the builders are banking on.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Here in Alabama when a great site was uncovered during mining for coal, everyone realized the significance of it and got it preserved. See article on how they did it. http://bama.ua.edu/~rbuta/monograph/preservemine/Petition1.html Edited August 26, 2010 by N.AL.hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 To see why they wanted to preserve this site, see the pictures from the database formed: http://bama.ua.edu/~rbuta/monograph/database/database.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I had seen this and signed the petition last year. Sorry to see that it went the way of the animals who left the tracks! Perhaps they will be able to at least save the wall.

bear-dog Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Sorry to hear about that.It's happening everywhere now.Had a land site in Sarasota to find nice meg teeth.Someone came in and built a sub division there.Now my favorite dive sites were taken by the Suwanee R iver Water Management District. All you can do is petetions and e- mails but it usually falls on deaf ears. :notfair: Bear-dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
