Now I am sure that with the correct mix of fairy dust and magic mushrooms it will reveal itself to be the Dragon he claims it to be.

I have to say as a designer and someone who has spent plenty of time with "creative types" I just have to wonder if he is a bit OCD or fully manic depressive. The sketches and the web pages represent some serious effort and energy. I actually thought that stuff was kinda cool. The sad part is if he is manic or bi-polar the swing the other way would be just as intensely bad. I guess I don't know wether I should be crying with laughter or just crying.

Mike Hallett's Seazoria dragon has been a project of his for a long time and he really believes in it. I think. The issue he is having is that he has a lot of rocks with similar sizes and nearly identical shapes. And although I don't think he has any sort of fossil I would love to know why there are all these triangularly shaped stones around these few boulders at at least two different sites. Seems there should be some sort of geological explanation. If you think about it it is rather weird to have 20 or so nearly identically shaped triangular rocks in one area.

Oh and another thing according to Mikes facebook his trip to Wyoming was a bit different than described here.
"Yesterday was a huge day for the Hallettestoneion Research Project and the discovery of the Hallettestoneion Seazoria Dragons discovery. The Phd paleontologist expert performing the laboratory test results forwarded a report confirming Seazoria prehistoric biology. Laboratory confirmation is second only to the day I discovered the Seazoria Dragons nearly eight years ago. Seazoria Dragons officially confirmed"

This poor guy has invested so much of his time into this, it would probably break his spirit and pride to have to admit it's not a dragon. I actually feel really sorry for him. :(

Well he cannot be saying that JP confirmed it.

He might have seen many people in WY on that trip...

I think he just annoyed one out of his mind and the paleo just broke and told him it was a dragon.

He could be saying just that, and believing it. If he were not the type to hear through special filters, would he not have acceded to the advice of others years ago?

You say there are many rocks the same size and shape ----Could this be an entire herd of dragons?---Do they herd or flock?--What confusion.

How is that?
If he were merely misguided originally, he would have received sufficient advice long before now to have abandoned his ideas. Nothing he reads here would change a thing.

Some people just inhabit their own worlds. Nothing said or done could coax them out of their little world.
If they're happy there, and not doing anyone any harm, more power to them.
To me, however,... I find it just sad, ...really.

Well i emailed him about 2 days ago with this question.

(in exact words)

"I forgot to ask you one last question. You said that you had the skull and teeth right? So can you email me a pic of how the teeth fit into the skull please."

He hasnt responded so i think i got him stumped.

First paragraph comments:
yes, I agree... what are all these roughly triangular shaped rocks doing in the fun patterns Mike is finnding them in? That part is intriguing. I discussed this with him as part of his visit. I threw out the idea, that what if they were put there by, say Paleo Indians. He would have none of this. We went back and forth for a while... him saying that the repeatability and predictability of it all means without doubt that it is biological, and me playing devil's advocate saying... well, my hypothesis is that Paleo Indians put them there, and we now have two opposing theories. Go ahead... prove my theory worng. Trying to explain science to him. He would have none of it.

Second paragraph comments:
The PhD scientist he must have mentioned on his web site is not me. He has sent a sample to a guy in Canada. He told me his name; I should have taken notes. So, his Huge Day was not due to his Casper visit.

Yes, Foshunter, he does say there's a whole herd of them.

I agree with Aupex, let's not invite him to join us. freind him on facebook if you must, but we don't need him here. (I chose not to friend him). He did leave proclaiming that I was cool... I think that's good. I prefer to be cool in cool peoples' eyes.
