Batty Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 My kids found this at the farm, there was a shrub near but it died and this was then visible. If this is a real dinosaur print I will have to eat my hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regg Cato Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Whereabouts did this come from? A few close-up pictures might be useful too My first impressions are I'd be cautious in assuming it's a dinosaur print; I could definitely see it being a Thyreophoran (armored dinosaur) print, but no Thyreophoran that I know of has only three toes. Just my five cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batty Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 It is at the farm, were in south Australia . The most it could be is some type of megafauna right? There's not enough tomato sauce in this country that's going to make my hat taste good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It has a trackish shape, but seems rather featureless otherwise... With just what we have to go on, I wouldn't call it a track of any kind. What size is it, and do we know the age of your rocks?

Batty Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 This is the only other pic I took of it, will be going back there this weekend to clean the farm house so can take more. There are lots of prints of all sizes up on the ridge near the house, I will look for similar ones to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regg Cato Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Looking forward to seeing more though at this point I'm thinking it's probably a rock feature that's playing a mean practical joke lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batty Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think the area is cretaceous/jurrasic period from the maps that i have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson 597, never make a bet or challenge a 5 year old. they have a game show about that in the U.S.....I guess it's actually a 5th grader not a 5-year old, but it was mildly amusing lol.

Batty Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 If anyone is wondering if I ever found another print like it, the answer is yes (sigh). It's about the same size. I haven't worked out what it is yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
