Reports pertaining to the Poseidonsaur were everywhere. With the explosion of interest, many new studies in paleontology were published. People began to rethink the existence of creatures in films that were previously thought to be impossible.
A student who studied ancient vertebraes said with a chuckle during an interview with the media, "My teacher used to say, documentaries and archeology are alike. They are always updated as more information is revealed. The discovery of the Poseidonsaur is a monumental affair. We believe that there are even more surprises waiting to be discovered in other unknown places."
People began to reevaluate islands that were fortunate enough to survive the Period of Destruction because of the discovery.
Island prices swelled!
It wasn't a sudden jump though. However, with the increased interest in islands, the market value for islands began to grow.
