I am not an archaeologist, but from what I know the footprint must be covered with something before being weathered for fossilization to occur. The dating methods often involve dating the soil deposits over the footprint.

OH! I understand that...it seem the weathering would have stop the fossilization and the mineralization would have taken longer than 50k years...hopefully someone on FR can help.
