A couple photos of the impressions they refer to.
If I'm reading the short article correctly, the magnetic polarity test pushes the era when the prints were made back into a 700 k to 1.3 million years before present time period and the conclusion is these must be animal tracks. The bottom one might be a bear track and the top one, who knows?

These people that don’t understand that there have been zero magnetic reversals!
Deep cores have failed to lend even a shred of support to such absurd theories.

What I think it means, as Jim Mora so eloquently put it, is "You think you know, but you don't know."
We have learned a lot, but on ancient dating, we still make many assumptions.

Australopithecines is dated about 4-2.5 million years ago, so the age isn’t necessarily an issue.

Deja vu all over again!
Dating schemes have much in common with Global Warming...

Bipedal, foot structure similar to a human. Considering all we have here is a footprint, we don’t know what the rest looked like.

Having seen your photos, an old story from Southeast Asia may lient some enlightenment. It seems a log merchant named Chan discovered some of the most valuable logs from his yard missing. The only evidence to be found were the tracks of a small boy leading off into the brush. Chan was very anxious to stop the thefts so he hired a night watchman to find out what was happening with his logs. The watchman saw nothing the first two nights and no logs were missing.
On the third night, a huge black bear came out from the brush, picked up a log under each arm and turned away back to the brush. Anxious to stop the logs from being taken, the watchman jumped up and yelled, "Stop! Stop! Oh boy foot bear with teaks of Chan!!

Can you lead me to that data? Everything that I have read says that magnetic reversals and pole shifts are real.

” Everything that I have read says that magnetic reversals and pole shifts are real”
Then why are they only found near volcanic action, and tektonic joints?

Australopithecines is a box of shards and parts found in a ten acre area, and nobody knows whether it was even one critter, let alone how it walked or crawled.

Huh? At least 170 pole reversals have been documented.
