Found this rock on Lake Michigan along the Frankfort shoreline. I thought it would be fun to experiment with some acid, so I put it in 10% or so bath for a day. I washed it off this morning and viola... little bird feet! Or, foot prints. Or maybe not. This area was a tropical, shallow sea for a long time, so maybe bird prints don't make sense. Also, other than the ID of this... I wonder how common this is? Any help would be appreciated.

This was found in south Tarrant County, (Fort Worth) TX, 6 to 8 feet deep, from oil and gas pipeline dig, so I don't know the formation. Need help identifying if this is a track. As always, thanks in advance for your help.

I live in Slovenia. I've been visiting this forum from time to time. Finally, I've decided to join and share my experience and thoughts. My main interest are the Mesozoic tetrapods. Above all: the dinosaurs. I am a paleo illustrator and a dinosaur ichnologist. You can learn more about me here: Mesozoic Mosaic Beri's dinosaur World (BDW)

I have been searching for a small affordable slab with trilobite tracks to demonstrate trace fossils to the scouts. I found a slab that is the right size, but wonder about its authenticity.

I came across this today, not a bad way to start the morning! Predominantly camel, but there was also proboscidean bison, horse, and small artiodactyl tracks that were either deer or reindeer!

So, I was going to open this topic called “Show me your Ichnofossils (aka Trace fossils) and we’d all get to see all kinds of feeding traces, tracks, footprints, burrows and other items, then this afternoon my 90lb dog left me a large gift on the carpet so I’m amending the request and excluding Coprolites from you all, which are ok, but I don’t want to really see them now—OK??!! LOL How about we call this Ichnofossils (part 1---Tracks/trackways/burrows/other traces only) for now!! Some other brave member or moderator can initiate Ichno part 2---Coprolites!) Here are 2 for starters--I'm sure you all have some better ones of these and lots more variety out there--let's seem them! Regards, Chris A trilobite trackway Arkansas A mammal like reptile? Cheilichnus trackway, Arizona
