Napoleon North Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hi Is this footprint fossil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I am not seeing any footprints here. I think these are depositional/sedimentary features. The rock itself looks like chert, so it is possible that it is could be worn/eroded cleavage planes.

doushantuo Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Wondering why you think it might be a footprint.Is it from the Labyrintodontid Beds(cycle IV Buntsandstein)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irregular, or even conchoidal fractures? Sorry, geology isn't my strongest skill.
