Thankfully it was found by someone who believes in science. A few years back, I read an article about a rancher who refused to let paleontologists study fossils found on his land because he didn't believe in that stuff. There's a neat little fossil exhibit in St. George, Utah that is fascinating because luckily, that farmer DID believe in science. When he unearthed the first fossils, he shut down the field he was preparing, called in the scientists, and now there is a totally bitching, great teaching tool where you'd never expect it. Highly recommended if you're in the neighborhood, which you will be if you ever go to Zion National Park.
