Being a journalist (photographer at a newspaper) I can't believe the
Portland paper would run this without at least a comment from the
"science side" saying Bigfoot has never been proven to exist or that
something appearing fossil-like doesn't necessarily make it a fossil.
We can only hope educated readers will take notice and write letters
to the editor and complain on the phone.

An alternative may be that he was wiped out by a meteorite impact during the greater Dreyus period.
