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.
Also this type of rock forms in layers and the footprint is going through multiple layers of strata which would be impossible.
well, then I’m anatomically incorrect. My toes splay outward.
Have you ever seen the footprints of someone who went barefoot for their entire lives? Their feet tend to be broader and the toes splayed out.
Have you ever seen the foot of someone who has never worn shoes? It’s incredible how much shoes deform the toes.
And this is a foot that’s getting pushed into the mud. I would expect the toes to spread out a bit, wouldn’t you?
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.
Or, it’s just the foot on the fellow who brought the new design of dinosaur to Earth.
Yeah, well just look at that big toe!
Agreed. The imprint of the distal phalanx of the great toe is deeper than the imprint of the ball of the foot formed by the head of the first metatarsal. This only occurs during running and will invariably cause blurring of the footprint, as the foot pushes off. The imprint is clear and the digits are well-defined.
I wouldn’t even label this a clever fake. It might fool a few slack-jawed hillbillies, but that’s all.
Well, you have to account for the age of the footprint, and human evolution.
Oh, wait.......never mind.
