What made this footprint?

Hi! My friend went to a museum and sent me a picture of this fossilized footprint. He said that they don't know what it is from. Does anyone have an idea?

Wheres it from, how old is it, and can we have an unfiltered picture? Also, are you sure its a fossil? It looks like mud with grass in it.

Unfortunately, the photo quality is quite poor.

 

I'm having a hard time making out a footprint here.  :headscratch:

Is the footprint supposed to be the impressions, or the protrusions?

 

Any more info on where it was found, or what museum it was seen in?

The Connecticut River Valley in Massachusetts produces a lot of dinosaur footprints, but that looks rather oddly shaped- not like the dino footprints I've seen. Perhaps a better photograph and information about where it was found would help solve this mystery.

SLIGHTLY reminiscent of the ichnites in Polish Triassic fluvial ("Buntsandstein") strata, where the original sediment rheology (periodic overbank flooding!) interfered with the clarity of the imprint.
