I have a toe that looks like E.T.’s head. If you saw my footprint in the mud, you’d swear I was an undiscovered primate species.
Smaller toes may not splay outward on people who wear shoes all their lives, but I’ll guarantee you that the footprints of the tribal folks living in the Sudd in Southern Sudan look just like that photo (minus the dinosaur print).
Much of the Sudd is mud flats.
well.I am not an expert,but nobody knows anything much from looking at a picture,now if reliable witnesses went to where he got this and verified more prints of both in the same strata,that would be proof,I don’t doubt dino’s and men lived together,as far as finding things in coal,it’s happened alot,even to me,but still no disturbed evidence can be verified easily
Or, it’s just the foot on the fellow who brought the new design of dinosaur to Earth.
Wow! Not to comment on the article, but I was raised in Mineral Wells. I took my family to Dinosaur Valley back in June of this year and we stayed in MW! I’m actually stunned that a Freeper would surf the Mineral Wells Index!!
I bet toes spread out when you are running through the mud with a dinosaur on your ass.
So, yes, there are people who rarely wear shoes, and their feet are shaped so-and-so, but they'd be shaped that way even if they wore shoes.
Some of us have feet with an even more pronounced "roll" than others. I discovered it's quite useful because when it falls to 30 below zero I can stand comfortably on the outside edge of my feet and minimize ground contact. Might even be hereditary ~
That’s gotta be the BEST post on this thread!!
They are not human foot prints.
Lets go one step farther, it wasn’t a man as we know him now, it was a visitor from another planet who just dropped by to check things out, and had the misfortune to have been seen by a dinosaur.
A Saber Tooth Tiger is not a Dinosaur.
.
I see the traces of wool socks....
Nope. It's all been roasted to make coffee for Starbucks.
The original owner of what land?
The land where this find from 8 years previous is said to have originated, or the nearby land which is now Dinosaur Valley State Park?
You state;"I have seen the prints that they refer to and they are not prints of man..."
You have? These are not some of the previously promoted finds which I believe you may be referring to.
Try reading the article. You may see what I mean. The finder/owner of this particular rock, claims he didn't see the *human* print, until he went to carefully clean the rock with a brush. It was then that the man says he first saw the human print. As the article mentions, he claims he was cleaning the piece, prior to offering it for sale, to help pay for medical bills incurred by himself. As is further stated, this cleaning, and appearance of the human print occurred only a couple of months of so ago. "Third week of May", as is quoted..."
Do you still maintain that you have seen this particular print?
Now whether this alleged find is for real, or cooked up, I don't know. But the article claimed the rock had been subjected to CAT scans at the Glen Rose Medical Center (there is such a place?).
The scans purportedly showed compression layers beneath the prints, along with having embedded shells of the type associated with limestone rocks in that area.
If all of that is actually true, then the compression lines or layers, would seem to show the prints were not carved. If the imprints of the shells also found in the rock are of creatures no longer existent, then that would seem to be further indication (that the fossil prints were genuine).
Unless someone went to the trouble of carefully removing such shells from other material, then mixing them in with whatever other material one was making a slurry out of, how could they get there? If this was faked...
The presence of the shells, along with compression layers (if there are such?) makes at least the beginnings of a compelling case, regardless of what other evidences and theories might lead on to expect.
Then again, it could still be could totally bogus. I really don't know...
Marshal Will and Holley, on a routine expedition, saw the greatest earthquake ever known. High on the rapids it strucke their tiny raft and plunged them down a thousand feet below. To the Laaand of the Lost.
Chill. Its more fun reading expert photographic analyst try to “Buckhead” this find.
AAAAH! Sleestacks!
Interesting this is where I’m from and when my Dad was a little boy he found a skull in one of the caves in Glen Rose gave it to a Rhodes Scholar that lived there. He sent it to NY for study and it proved a link to humans in that area never known to have a existence there in that time period.
Yeah!!
How about a fossilized finger in cretaceous rock? Will that do?
Or how about Here?
I realize many will poo poo this stuff, but believe what you want.
