Scientists say that a woman in Italy found a lost world of reptilian footprints and even the imprints of raindrops in the Italian alps.

Scientists say that the rock she discovered and found had footprints belonging to a prehistoric reptile.  Prehistoric is the Darwinian way of saying that it did not belong to the present world. It belonged to the Permian period some 299 million to 252 million years ago.

Experts say that the find is some 280 million years old. But the dating method used for this discovery does not show the correct time.
