Some more new footprints

[RetiredLawyer]

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.

Very nice. Have any of the professional paleontologists taken a look yet?
 

The second photo looks like a plant.  What is the scale?

 

Here is a paper that talks about the Moenkopi fossils. If you sign up for JSTOR you can look at this one and up to 100 papers a month.

If possible, y'oughta take the photos with low angle light coming from the upper left.  It is really hard to see the prints in straight-on lighting, esp that first one.  Just a thought.

I spoke to Spencer Lucas after I sent him a bunch of the pictures. He was excited about them but he’s locked down due to the virus. He’d like to come out to take a look when he’s allowed to travel again. In the second picture the scaly part is about 3-4 inches long. I can’t find it right now to measure it exactly - it is in there somewhere (see picture). 
 

Thank you for the references!

I’ll try to get better lighting. Thanks for the tip.
