I found this in Southeastern Oklahoma. I found it at a lake. It was showing due to the water levels being down. I've contacted someone down in Keene, TX about it and they said there is a possibility one or both are acrocanthosaurus tracks or trace tracks. They have found tracks up in Atoka County. Which is 45 minutes away. There are tracks, also,also, a museum in Idabel, OK. Then, if you head south, there's dinosaur valley state park. Where you can view tracks in the river. I explained, to the person who specializes in this stuff, I moved it, but took documentation of where I found it. So the water could no longer erode it. There is a museum close. It is about to start their Dino Days again. I really want to go get it checked out. I've cleaned the piece up since I brought it home last year. But I'm afraid I will do damage. I want to clean it, but not destroy it. We have some ammonites we have been cleaning. Those seem a lot easier than what is going on with the possible track. The light colored rock, is another possible track found near the other one. Facing a different direction. This one I could not move. Is this my mind just playing tricks? Or did I possible find something? Either way, it has been a fun experience and practice, for me.

Dinosaur stomping ground in Scotland reveals thriving middle Jurassic ecosystem
msantix posted a topic in Fossil News
Dinosaur fossils from the mid Jurassic are generally rare but the Isle of Skye in Scotland has revealed fossils sites preserving around 50 footprints on ancient coastal mudflats. The footprints suggest that Stegosaurs and possible ancient cousins of duck billed dinosaurs were living in the Isle of Skye around 170mya along with large Sauropods & Carnivores, suggesting a high diversity of dinosaurs from the mid Jurassic in Scotland. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/03/200311140536.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Ffossils_ruins%2Fpaleontology+(Paleontology+News+--+ScienceDaily) The Journal article is listed below and is open access https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0229640 1. dePolo PE, Brusatte SL, Challands TJ, Foffa D, Wilkinson M, Clark NDL, et al.

In our cottage in an island there are these big rocks that were dug up from the ground when we first built our house but there is one rock in particular that looks like it may have been underwater at some point and I sure am interested in the possibility of maybe finding some fossils, what's your opinion ?does it look like it may have been underwater? And could this area have fossils? Thanks
