Tbh I really don't like these meta metas. I'm passing. Thanks for the puzzle though.

Solved. LOL, this puzzle goes a long way toward explaining why the dinosaurs went extinct. Nice web site though.

after spending lots of time down trail number 1, I abandoned it as it was too dusty and incomplete.
same for trail number 2.
I'm in trail #3 and it's what you describe and so far it is very tantalizing but I've not yet got to a definitive answer on any part of the 5 parts. But it looks very interesting, I think I'll stay here a while.

Trail #1 proved to be the correct trail. Solidly on Dino Island.

Got it after the zoom discussion encouraged me to keep looking where I'd been looking. Never heard of the game and was skeptical that it was real, but google said yes and crosshare confirmed it.
Thanks, Will.
