Kinda like these with a little erosion.

It could be, if that is an imprint of a human foot (looks that way to me, and I also note the bulging upward of the area just beneath the toes, which would support the motion pressure of a forwardly walking human), that whoever it was wore some sort of wrap or "bandage" type padding around the arch area of their feet.

If they'd bundled up their feet such that only the toes would push inward, downward, upon a soft ground area such as that was at the time any print could have been made, then only the indentation of their heel and the pressure points from their toes would leave those impressions.

Padding around the whole foot with lesser padding on the toes and more pressure via the toes and heel upon the ground could very well have left such a mark as that.

Particularly, especially, if the human who left the mark, if that is a footprint indentation, was slight in build, which most humans were up until agricultural societies.
