How would the age of the foot print be determined?

How would the age of the foot print be determined? It depends on the probable age and the circumstances of fossilization, but could be carbon dating (although this one's too old for that), thermoluminescence, stratigraphic correlation or argon-argon. They can also date the actual fossils found around the footprints.

Fossilized?...only after 50,000 years...I would have though the mineralization would have taken much longer.
