Pennsylvania Field Stone footprint?

Recommended Posts

I know this is an old thread sorry. I have a very similar fossil that I found in a pallet of Pennsylvania fieldstone back in late 2010/early 2011. I have kept it all these years always meaning to research it and just this morning stumbled across it and decided to do some googling and happened to find this thread.

I really do believe mine is two or three digits of a human hand or possibly a dinosaur with a very similar skeletal structure in its feet.

This seems geologic to me with no bone texture visible. I've encountered several sandstones etc. in the field that seem a perfect fit for my grip, but such can be geologic coincidences that cause us to pause for a moment. :)

I split this out into it's own topic.  ;) 

 

 

Ripple marks were my first thought.

You say ‘fieldstone’ ... I have similar pieces that were made by successive passes with the point of a plow over decades... just a thought.

Ripple marks was the first thing that came to mind.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
