They say even under perfect conditions, it couldn't be possible, yet somehow, paleontologists have unearthed a preserved dinosaur foot deep in the heart of the Gobi Desert in Southern Mongolia.
"I wouldn't believe any reports if I hadn't been there," said paleontologist Dr. Greg Hudkins, who was one of several experts sent on the dig. "But I saw it, and I felt it. I've analyzed it. That thing is the foot of a real dinosaur."
Scientists have released one photo of what they're calling the "find that will define this century." After an already successful day of digging, the group reportedly came across a small, warm pocket beneath the rocks. They believe the beast had its leg stuck in the wet pocket around 70 million years ago.

Fake. This has been circling the internet for a few years now...
The story is fake, but the picture is real. It's a foot of a moa, an extinct giant bird from New Zealand, found in 1987. So it's a "dinosaur foot" in as much as birds are dinosaurs, but that's also true of the turkey drumstick I'm eating tomorrow. As Snopes would say, "real photo; innacurate description."
Here's the report on the discovery:

If you haven't read the comments in the linked article, they are a riot:
QuoteOr maybe the earth is only 6,000 years old as it is impossible to carbon date unless it is within a few thousand years, which would fit the bible, and the flood model.
