Dinosaur print?

[Neilkay-jones]

Hi guys,

People have been so good to help in my last post about finding a cast fire poker handle I thought i would ask for help in the general discussion on my find the other day whilst on the beach in Anglesey, Wales.

I have found a medium pebble with what clearly looks like a footprint to me and anyone I show it to. From a small amount of research the print can be looked at in two ways:

1. Therepod - Exclude the bottom left round circle and it is very much like a small therepod footprint. Clearly there are three claws with toes - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=t...UICigB&biw=1920&bih=979#imgrc=Vilhp76q9Ah8LM:

2. Include the bottom left circle and it makes for a more 3 toed paw style print although I do not believe the circle should be included (maybe wrong).

If anyone does have any experience in this area please let me know your thoughts.




Thanks,

Neil

Evidently lots of prints and bones of some of the earliest Jurassic era dinosaurs have been found in Wales, especially the southern part, so probably.

I am thrilled to find a coin or any other artifact that is 70 years old....this thing could be 200 million.

I saw similar prints on a documentary about Dino hunting. I'm sure yours is legitimate.

That is one of the neatest things I have seen posted.

Unfortunately, while it may look like a footprint, given the type of rock, and the associated parameters on the formation of that rock, it is very, very unlikley it is a dinosaur footprint.

Hi SeekerGH, do you know what type of rock it is and any more information on your reasoning please?

Thanks,

This is a metamorphic rock, not a sedimentary rock. The hardness and crystalization are evident in the images provided.
Sedimentary rock formation will preserve fossils, but the processes to metamorphisize, pressure, heat, and/or heat pressure will eradicate any fossil imprint remains.

Thank you for this information. Do you know what type of rock it is as I can not find it?

Thanks for your time again.
