Shoe Print in Granite
This shoe print fossil was discovered in a seam of coal in Fisher Canyon, Pershing County, Nevada. It is estimated that the age of this coal is a whopping 15 million years old! And lest you think that this is the fossil of some kind of animal whose shape merely resembles a modern shoe, close-up examination of the fossil reveals that traces of a double line of sewed stitches around the perimeter of the shape are clearly visible. It's about a size 13, and the right side of the heel appears to be more worn down than the left.
How does a modern shoe print become impressed in material that would later become coal 15 million years ago? Either:
How does a modern shoe print become impressed in material that would later become coal 15 million years ago? Either:
- The imprint was made recently and coal does not really take millions of years to form (which science does not support), or...
- There were people (or something like people) walking around in shoes 15 million years ago (of which we have no historical record), or...
- Time travelers went back in time and carelessly left this show print, or...
- It is an elaborate, highly detailed hoax.
