This don't pass the smell test, if the lizard stepped in the mud that leaves a negative if it filled with sand quicky then was compressed under enough pressure to create sand stone it would have destroyed the softer clay mold under it . Also for him to find these they would need to be facing up unless gravity was working different then this still don't past the smell test . Just saying!
@@moonshoes11 Agreed. Tracks of all eras are found much like these were. The compression isn't an instantaneous thing, it happens over eons, and the "clay" also solidifies and allows the formation of the prints.
Less than one in a billion mud tracks have likely ever been fossilized and less than one in a trillion likely found. Dead animals get eaten, even their bones, they have to be buried rapidly before they are destroyed, and footprints are walked over, rained on, covered with dust storms, flooded and become mud again, etc. This means all fossils and tracks we have found are the result of incredibly rare circumstances, so what is your point?
Too bad he destroyed the trackways but cutting apart the series. Scientists could have learned much by scanning the whole sequence to see what the animals were doing as well as subtle clues like tail drag lines or changes in track shapes or directions as the animals moved.
Wait... If he lives near Phoenix, Arizona, why on earth would he allow these to be examined and go to New Mexico??? That should not have happened. These should all stay and be examined in Arizona.
That’s ridiculous… any time they find ancient human prints they go crazy about it. Infinitely more ridiculous though is thinking that humans existed in the time frame of these ancient critters.
The story of the flood is obviously metaphor since it's physically impossible. Just the mixing of salt and freshwater would have wiped out almost all fish, let alone drowning all trees and land plants. Then there is the ridiculous concept of a big boat with a single window to hold thousands of animals for months with only a small family to care for them. When they built the Ark Experience they planned to have live animals but realized it would take a staff far larger than Noah's family just to keep their cages clean so switched to plush toys. Then there is the question of where did the water come from and where did it go? And how did Kangaroos and marsupials get to Australia from the middle east by foot and why didn't they also spread to Africa? Lastly, fossil evidence is not evidence of the flood unless you believe God caused the flood debris to carefully lay down fossils in layers that restrict related species to specific layers as if they evolved over time and higher (newer) layers contain their later cousins, and radioactively dated every layer to match that story. Either evolution is true, or God really wants us to believe it's true. Either way I believe the evidence that God has given us that the Earth is 4.4 Billion years old and the diversity of life clearly came from evolution as every animal on this planet is related by its DNA, and how closely DNA tells us they are related matches incredibly well with how we map relations by physical appearance and characteristics.
While its good to be a skeptic, the expert featured here (not the old farmer with the babe) said its clay that had been filled in with sandstone. I assumed that to mean the clay impressions made by the hand of the hand monsters hardened and acted as a form for the sand to fill, compact, and from into sandstone. When the sandstone layer above the clay would eventually dissolve back to sand, what was left was a kind of elevated "sandstone inlay" still with a solidified clay base. The sandstone within the hard clay form was protected enough not to dissolve, leaving behind what we see featured here. If true, I'd like to see one inlay print purposefully dissolved of its sandstone so that the actual clay impression can be appreciated as well.
let me guess, 1 grain and 1 drop at a time rite??? WRONG.... fossils are rare because of the conditions under which the preservation takes place are CATASTROPHIC......
I don't listen to people who think the world is only 6,000 years old. And from what I read the earliest ancestors of the Native Americans were the first to reach the Persian Gulf region after leaving Africa. That would be around -74,416 BCE. At the time of the ice-age.
The earth isn’t more than 6,000-7,000 years old. Y’all need to visit the Creation Museum as they have great documentation and explanations about how we know this!
So the scientific explanation for tracks like this is that creatures walked on wet clay or mud and those tracks then lay completely undisturbed for millions of years while sediment slowly covered these hardened tracks. In other words, the moist clay slowly dried while nothing else upset the castings. And then, over millions of years sediments obediently and painfully slowly covered these tracks. Sorry, that makes no sense. It's actually unbelievable. And why isn't that same mechanism happening today?
It's more likely right after the lizards walked through the wet clay that was along a creek or river, a flooding event happened and flood waters are filled with suspended sand. That sand settled into the tracks and became solidified over time, becoming the sandstone that he found!
@jrrarglblarg9241 Enough to know that things like torrential rainfall, wind storms, and other erosion factors would never allow such an occurrence. But perhaps you live in a place where none of that ever happens.
@@desertrat77 Southwestern CONUS has met those exact conditions for a few millennia, but I don’t suppose actual facts get in the way of your beliefs much.

This is way way way way way before Noah flood. That flood was actually pretty recent and consideration of fossils. Also that flood doesn’t need proof., only faith.
There never was a global flood. That's a myth that pre dates the Noah fable. There was only massive regional flooding mostly likely caused by the rapid meltdown of the ice cap on the northern hemisphere about 12k years ago.
There are obvious HUMAN footprints in GRANITE in a state park in TX......how long does it take for granite to form from whatever it was that made it look like mud?
@@TheTibetyakI appreciate your thinking and the way you phrased your response. Thank you for being kind. When I look at dating I just cannot believe it because of instances like happened with Mt. St. Helens. In June of 1992, Dr Austin collected a 7-kg (15-lb) block of dacite from high on the lava dome. The ‘whole rock’ rock powder and four mineral concentrates were submitted for potassium-argon analysis to Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, MA-a high-quality, professional radioisotope-dating laboratory. The only information provided to the laboratory was that the samples came from dacite and that ‘low argon’ should be expected. The laboratory was not told that the specimen came from the lava dome at Mount St Helens and was only 10 years old. As to the dating a correct answer would have been ‘zero argon’ indicating that the sample was too young to date by this method. Instead, the results ranged from 340,000 to 2.8 million years! It is clear that radioisotope dating is not the ‘gold standard’ of dating methods, or ‘proof’ for millions of years of Earth history. When the method is tested on rocks of known age, it fails miserably. The lava dome at Mount St Helens is not a million years old! At the time of the test, it was only about 10 years old.
So, did they say how old they believe these footprints to be? I looked up Chirotherium and the website I referenced said they walked the Earth 243 million years ago. I would have to guess that these tracks are about that old (give or take a million years LOL).

In June of 1992, Dr Austin collected a 7-kg (15-lb) block of dacite from high on the lava dome. The ‘whole rock’ rock powder and four mineral concentrates were submitted for potassium-argon analysis to Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, MA-a high-quality, professional radioisotope-dating laboratory. The only information provided to the laboratory was that the samples came from dacite and that ‘low argon’ should be expected. The laboratory was not told that the specimen came from the lava dome at Mount St Helens and was only 10 years old. As to the dating a correct answer would have been ‘zero argon’ indicating that the sample was too young to date by this method. Instead, the results ranged from 340,000 to 2.8 million years!
It is clear that radioisotope dating is not the ‘gold standard’ of dating methods, or ‘proof’ for millions of years of Earth history. When the method is tested on rocks of known age, it fails miserably. The lava dome at Mount St Helens is not a million years old! At the time of the test, it was only about 10 years old.
Got any evidence its not? Just kidding, I know you only believe things you were indoctrinated to believe.
