But a Queensland palaeontologist who has carried out recent research at the James Price Point site believes the latest study will show the dinosaur prints and the gas precinct can not co-exist.

Steve Salisbury says the footprints are significant.

"I know the two people who have been invited and they are both well respected dinosaur footprint palaentologists and I am pretty sure that if they've seen what we've seen up in that area then the Department of State Development and the State Government are in for a bit of a surprise," he said.

"The current plans require a fairly major marine precinct to be built across the intertidal zone where dinosaur footprints occur."

"The two are mutually exclusive, you either have one or the other."
