Second picture is what appears to be a tridactyl track. First picture might be also. According to the paleontologist there is discussion of the possibility of dinosaurs being around in this time period.

Out walking and flipping rocks as usual and found a new site. I don’t recognize most of the tracks.

Real or fake dinosaur footprints?
juan posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everybody . Here's the story: somedays ago, one friend showed me this specimen. It was bought by her mother 4 years ago, but didn't knew the species and if it's real or not. I told her it's a Grallator footprints, probable Jurassic, but I wasn't sure if some of the footprints are real or fake What do you think? All the best and stay safe Juan -
My family and I are on short end of season camping trip in Southeastern Pennsylvania and decided to head over to Gettysburg. These have probably been covered here before but I got some pictures of the famous Dinosaur Footprints on the Bridge! My son loved it (I’m gonna pretend more than me ). Anyone know of anywhere I can go searching for some fossils while I’m in the area that’s around the Gettysburg area??

The trackway is about 18’x12’. It’s looking good. Still have a few more pieces to go. And a couple really big ones to drag into place.

Assembly is coming along nicely! Still hauling out pieces to fill in the gaps. Hopefully the weather will hold out.
-
Have some nice trackways from the new spot.

Found this large expanse of rock today. The few chunks I pulled out all have tracks. Need to start exploring to see where the edges are.

Good day all. I'm new here so let me introduce myself. I'm Robert, an amateur gold prospector, fisherman and lots more. I have found nothing too interesting during my gold panning adventures well not for an untrained gold fevered eye anyways but have found tons of modern aged bones that looks old at least a few hundred years old. Anyways now since thats out of the ways I was driving through Arizona when I reached the top of the hill at the sitegreaves national forest sign off of 260. I pulled over to let my semi truck cool down and chose to hike a bit. I sat down on a rock and foun

My new neighbor (mile away but still the closest) rented an end loader and volunteered to move two of my biggest rocks! Both safe in my collection. And even better, went up the side of the wash about eight feet and found tracks. Could be the edge of the undisturbed fossil layer.

Took some pictures of the chirotherium tracks. Have quite a few with a front and rear together.
-
8’ long, 32” wide. Excellent sets of tracks. Need a backhoe to move this one. Late in the day so pics are a bit shaded, sorry.

Found this yesterday. It was a bit out of the water flow so it hasn’t been eroded much. Nice distinct prints.
-
Nicely defined toes with claws. I guess you could call them sandy claws. Catch me at your local comedy club! Second picture is taken under a rock I’ve tunneled underneath but I have no idea what the print is from. It’s about 2”.
-
One summer, tons of sand and rock and twelve pairs of gloves later. Should have just moved the house to the fossils.
-
Found a nice set of front and rear, left and right chirotherium prints. Couple pictures of what the site looks like - I move one and hit two more. Currently have over 100 rocks with footprints.
-
The first picture is a Rotodactylus that has all five toes. The little one at the bottom center is sort of oval shaped and sticks out an angle. Second picture I have no idea. The print on the far right center looks like it has stubby little toes.

New to the site and have found a lot of odds and ends over the years, more by accident then out on hunts. But now wanting to get some of my grand kids into fossil hunting. So here is my question. Can you hunt for fossils at the Union Chapel Mine? If not is there any old mines you can hunt in Alabama? Thanks

Found this rock with some nicely defined footprints. The first two pictures are of the same print - has a great impression of the ball of the foot.
-
This rock has a nice variety of prints with varying number of toes. The bottom center has two toes, the left has three. The upper right is a very distinct print but I can’t tell if there is is a fourth toe to the right of the three long ones.

Here are some closeups with scale (inches). It looks to me like there are some two toe and some three toe prints u

Here are some of the various sizes of the chirotherium footprints.
-
The first picture looks like a different print than what I’ve found before - the toes are much wider spread than the chirotherium and there seems to be only three toes, not four. The second picture shows an interesting pattern in the rock. The third has front and rear prints.
-
Pulled this 7.5 foot slab out today. A lot of the prints are faint but some nice clear ones.

The rock I recovered today has a new type of footprint I haven’t seen before (first picture) as well as a couple of nice chirotherium.
