Collected at the Union Chapel Mine in north-central Alabama. Age is Pennsylvanian. This is the counterpart of an 'underprint' just a layer or two beneath the actual track layer. The little guy's claws penetrated the mud and made some scratch prints at this level. At the top of this piece, you can see a trace perhaps a layer above the actual print layer. Here, a tail drag mark is visible.
