Is this a footprint(positive)?

Hi, I need help identifying whether or not what I have is a positive cast of a fossil footprint.  The "footprint" itself is about 5-6 inches long and maybe 3 inches across.  The stone it is sitting on feels like a sandstone, but the "footprint" is very hard rock, definitely not sandstone.

 

Thanks!

I do not believe this to be a footprint.

It lacks definition of toes or claws or pads, etc.

 

Where was this found?

 

I believe Cincinnati hosts rock that is much to old to contain dinosaur remains.

Welcome to the Forum. :) 

 

Your item is most likely a concretion, ... not a footprint.
