Footprints?

[Knightsrider]

Hello every one,

 

Found this on the beach while gossil hunting.

Can any one please tell me if they are prints?

 

Thanks,

Mike

Look like ironstone, not prints I’m afraid

Shame, thanks for looking

Hang around though; someone may disagree. I can see what drew you to it, there’s a lot of ironstone where we collect and we see a lot of very suggestive concretions that sadly aren’t fossils

[Knightsrider]

Well ill keep my fingers crossed then.

 

Can you find fossils in ironstone?

(I'm still learning)

Sorry, but I agree with @dhiggi that they’re not footprints, I don’t know that they’re ironstone, but that’s not how I’d think something would stand.

Most of Cumbria's geology is Carboniferous, with some localities in the earlier Palaeozoic. 

I don't think these are footprints, i'm afraid.

Much appreciated every one, thanks.

Check this site out for Whitehaven and other nearby areas, I find it very useful for planning our hunting trips and it will tell you what you can expect to find in your area and how to find it
