Fossil_Adult Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I went on a recent fossil hunt in North Carolina looking for the cow branch formation. I found some fossils. It was a very quick stop, about an hour before I had to leave. I found what I believe is to be a footprint it reminds me of a tremnospondyl but it’s from the cow branch I believe. I also found some shells there, plant material, and pieces of what looked to be good footprint material but I wasn’t there long enough to fully examine. So here’s the finds from yesterday: Total haul: footprint in question: outline of footprint: What species was this footprint from? It’s late Triassic and I’m pretty happy to be finding footprints again these might be my new favorite fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Not seeing anything I can definitively say is a footprint, or fossil here. The imprint could be part of a footprint, but it could just as easily be part of some sedimentary structure. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Fossil_Adult Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 I have some better close up photos I really think this might be a footprint but I’m open to another explanation as well. More data is needed so I’ll post more pictures as well. This is a close up. here’s a side view as well. Theres a distortion in the rock that reminds me of distortions from footprints. Here it is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
