If you are referring to the "man tracks" in the limestone of the Paluxy river bed near Glen Rose, Texas, that is exactly what happened.
The locals (notably "Bull" Adams and his brother) were the first, to carve "Man Tracks" -- as a tourist attraction. BUT...I, personally, caught the "Eminent Creation Scientist" who later built a (money-making) "Creation Museum" near the site -- in the act of carving (and photographing) "Giant Man Tracks".
Not only were they freshly-carved, the biggest was carved (for photography purposes) in soft mud! The phony "scientist" even put up a pre-cast plaque on a nearby rock touting his "Bauanthropus Erectus" "find". (BTW, he was 'humble' -- his name is "Baugh"...)

After I splashed the water out of a "man track" (atop an otherwise dry slab -- in the middle of a drought) and showed him the fresh chisel marks, he began to doubt the "Creationist"'s veracity.
And, when I borrowed his knife and stuck it up to the hilt in the mud-carved "track", he walked away in disgust, saying,

You can prove this beyond a reasonable doubt?
