Possible Rhynchosaurs trace marks (but not convinced)

[DE&i]

While collecting fossilized raindrop impressions such as this one from a sandstone block.

 

 

I also found these unusual impressions. Rhynchosaur fossils and trace fossils are known at this location. So was wondering if anyone could see the possibility of a rhynchosaur making these marks. Or perhaps they are some other kind of middle triassic fauna or flora markings. 

 

 

 

The stratigraphy is the tarporley siltstone, lower anisian ( middle triassic) UK.

Those do appear to be rhynchosaur claw marks, when feeding they clawed at the sand and mud looking for food. You can see they all come in threes. I’ve seen them from Maryland, though I haven’t found any I’ve had the chance to see some. The only ones I own are footprints from the hind legs.

Very interesting @WhodamanHDthank you for your opinion.

Look for both concave and convex scratches to suggest that these traces are actually in the sandstone as opposed to being recent scratches. In the top of the rock in the third photo it appears that the scratches go right up to and likely into a thicker rock section. It is hard to tell from photos, but I think that the scratches are convex in the fourth photo. @DE&i are some of the scratches convex and stick out of the rock?

Hi @DPS Ammonite @WhodamanHD

 

A friend of mine managed to recover the negative slab of my previous find. Would this perhaps shed some light on the possibilities of what we may have here. This photo was taken at the exact time of finding it with a camera phone. I'm hoping to have more close ups to follow.

It certainly looks like what has been found in Maryland (save the color), and I definitely think thy are rhynchosaur feeding marks

Very cool find!
