Xiphactinus Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 shakin - I looked at these pix and the ones in your profile. Unfortunately, these aren't footprints. They are concretions, which are natural forming structures. Sometimes they superficially resemble shapes like a foot or a bone, but they are really just cool rocks.

I had the reverse happen to me, shakin' chevy. I found some bizarrely shaped rocks in a local creekbed and took some home to put in my aquariums. Later, when I got more into fossils, I discovered that they were stromatolites, fossil remains of bacteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
