Are these fossil footprints real?

If anyone knows, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

The footprint looks real, but has been painted, to better show the footprint.

It is the overprint (convex) that would have filled the original imprint (concave).

How can you tell this is a convex vs concave print? Is it the probable shadow on the right side of both the print and the slab that is the clue?

I also see convex, but seems like a crater/mountain, blue/gold, laurel/yanny nuance of human perception.

Just by the look of it, and shadows in certain areas.

Raised looking ridges here and there.

 

Over prints can be very difficult to make out, unless using  low angle lighting to bring them out.

Over prints are also more  often colored/highlighted/painted in this way, as they are hard to see.

 

 

 

 

This is what I am seeing as the actual footprint that remains in the overprint.
