Woodside Petroleum says that there is no danger to fossilized dinosaur footprints posed by off-shore geotechnical surveys being conducted for a study in advanced of a possible $30 Billion (AU) project near the West Kimberly National Heritage Site. The company says that the survey area and scope of work has been designed to avoid the heritage area and that all the necessary consensus and permits has been secured for the work. The work was in the news last month because of environmental protests. [Source: Smh.com.au. Image: Save the Kimberly]
