Fossil

I've been looking at a rock with some indentations on it that I've been using to prop up my mailbox. To me it looked like maybe a dinosaur footprint. I finally decided to take a closer look at it yesterday. It appeared to have 3 forward pointing indentations, and one rear pointing indentation. Upon closer inspection, it looks like there may be 4-5 shallow indentations at the end of the deeper indentations. Now I'm thinking it's probably not a dinosaur, but maybe some sort of mammal. The footprint is probably 4-6 inches across. I'll have to show it to Mike next week to get his opinion. Assuming it is a footprint, I wonder how long it takes rock to form. Denny

Sounds interesting! I've got some fossil books, but I'm not sure they show footprints.
