izak_ Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Sorry, but it looks like the grain in the rock is going the wrong way for it to be a footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) The second one is a possible (I believe that it's deformed sediment rather than oyster) - I've been shown stegosaur footprints at Saltwick that are the same sort of shape but I'm very bad at spotting them...

Auspex Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks for that could you explain that so I can use the info as a guide while out please I think that what he means is that the bedding plane (in the first image, anyway) of the sediment appears to be at right angles to the "track". The features are probably due to weathering.

abyssunder Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm referring to this...what I think is an internal view of an oyster valve with the multilayered structure and the hinge region visible at bottom-right: " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
