Impossibly old footprints

Shoe and footprint fossils

Here are a couple of fossils to shake up the current scientific view of?anthropology,?paleontology and possibly geology as well. The imprints above might easily be mistaken for footprints you'd find today on a beach or a muddy sidewalk, but they are, in fact, fossils -- very old fossils. The size 13 shoe print on the left was found in granite estimated to be 15 million years old. And the bare footprint was discovered in strata estimated to be 290 million years old! Impossible, right? But there they are. Read more about them in the Ancient Anomalies gallery.
