Frances Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Dinosaur if they were then it would completely upset Manx geology - no strata of this period exist on the Island (unless of course you are a creationist then they might be contemporary with billown !)

Gladys Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Nothing to do with alcohol. More to do with the recent trend to blocking planning applications because of the deleterious effect on the local newt population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimsy Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It'll be the remains of an ancient midden. It's how farmers disposed of beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaipyr Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It'll be the remains of an ancient midden. It's how farmers disposed of beasts. The news report says the bones are about 20 years old - not that ancient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonday Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hasn't there been ' a very rare occurence' of someone picking up anthrax from bones or the soil they've been dumped in? Hardly a major cause of death but I do vaguely recall something years ago, somewhere in the world. eta Found a link http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/12/28/2128094.htm Hangs around in the soil for years, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 "Although there is no reason to believe that there is any danger, it is appropriate to take necessary precautions. " ???? with dead bones?
