BLT Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I’m hoping someone can tell me if this is a paw track of some sort? There are three indentations on this rock of very similar shape and size. (four inches wide) Or would it have been impossible for this type of rock to have had any tyoe of tracks? The rock was in my barn in middle Tennessee. Thanks.

MarcoSr Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It is sometimes really difficult to tell if you really have a track. Typically if an area has tracks you find a good number of them not just one. We find bog iron tracks from the Pleistocene of Virginia. Below is one of the more recognizable paw prints (juvenile coyote print) that I've found. Marco Sr. "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

BLT Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thanks, @MarcoSr! Since I joined TFF a few weeks ago, I’ve spent several hours reading through various posts/threads. For some reason, I find coprolites and paw tracks especially fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky that I can look for Pleistocene or Cretaceous tracks or Eocene marine coprolites at sites within a short drive from my house in Virginia.
