I’m gonna need some help on this one...

I’m not even sure whether it’s a fossil or just geological. 

 

Found at Sugar Creek in Crawfordsville, Indiana

I can see why You think it could be a footprint.

 

I think it is some trace fossils that just happen to look like a footprint.

 

Fossils are geological, by the way.

I’m very happy with it being a trace fossil! And by “geological” I just meant like weathering or odd rock formation.

Would you happen to have any idea of what kind of trace fossil it could be? The fossil found here are Mississippian in age.

I do not.

Maybe @doushantuo can help.

It would be difficult to name such a small sample, but Taenidium may be something like it.
