If proven genuine...,

I have proof the earth is flat.

Cute. But the human footprint here is anatomically incorrect. The smaller toes don’t splay outward on a human foot, as depicted here.

Someone worked really hard on this forgery. Too bad they don’t know how the bones in the human foot are aligned.

I don’t know about those prints. Do dinosaur footprints really look like that? I don’t really know anything about it. But that dinosaur print looks kinda fishy to me.

It was a busy six days.

Clearly Fred Flintstone was out walking Dino.

Cant they check some petrified Saber tooth tiger feces for human remains?

[Maelstorm]

Interesting but it looks a bit fake. Wouldn’t be surprised to find out someone is pulling a prank.

“In other words, the stone’s impressions indicate that the human stepped first, the dinosaur second.”

Looking at the photo, if anything, it shows the ‘human’ print on top of the dinosaur’s.

Might be an entertaining thread.

The only “fossils” found in complete isolation without similar examples or pieces nearby in either life or death assemblages, with only one nearly perfect example known, and that example is so remarkable if true that it would topple centuries of conventional paleontological wisdom, fall neatly into the Piltdown man catagory.

Baloney - I’ve been hearing of these things since I was a kid and not one of them have been proven genuine. Heck, I still remember this guy who claimed to have found a gold chain inside a lump of coal. Of course, you had to pay him a fee to see it. lol!

The estimated 140-pound stone was recovered in July 2000 from the bank of a creek that feeds the Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas, located about 53 miles south of Fort Worth.

Similar ones from that same river in the same location have been around since at least before the early 1970's. There was also a sandal imprint with cast from New Mexico, I believe, with a trilobite in the mud of the heel impression. Other interesting phenomena are trans-strata fossils such as petrified trees in situ crossing strata of vastly differing ages (according to the index fossils of the adjacent strata). In addition, contrary to the pictures in junior and senior high science books of the strata stacked from pre-Cambrian to Holocene, they can be found in any order, youngest on oldest, oldest on youngest, and in almost any other imaginable combination. One can also find strata that change age (according to index fossils) horizontally within the same physical layer.

two words, Piltdown Man

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!!

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.

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.
