I wonder if your enthusiasm for your mission has masked the evident confirmation bias that we all harbour and have to guard against?

I’m not going to post about the pliosaur and its excavation from the Jurassic coast again. Should you wish to investigate further, I think you will be reassured as to the integrity of those involved and the regulations that obtain.

Btw, the Chinese have, apparently been discovering huge fossils for centuries and their culture allowed them to label them as the remains of dragons - until Western palaeontologists arrived.

Normally, I would ignore posts that don’t appeal but your other investigations are important and valuable. It would be a real loss if they were undermined by what I feel may be only a preliminary study presented as fact.

I hope you attract palaeontologists who will explain and supplement your views.

And 'settled' science is usually worth challenging!

Cheers.

And once a liar lies, you don't tend to believe anything they say.

I'm a non-absolutist - usually.
