Yes, I saw them 40 years ago. The land is the land that the gentleman built the park—it has been there for decades. My aunt has a place less than 2 miles from this “site.” The dinosaur prints are real, but the guy that owned the land carved the footprints into to the creek bottom for obvious reasons. You can believe anything that you want to believe, but they are not footprints of a man. Go down and check it out for yourself.. Glenrose is about 60 miles south of Fort Worth, so you can fly in and pay whatever he charges now...BTW most people that live in Glen Rose have known that the gentlemen was a charletan. You quoted “The finder/owner of this particular rock, claims he didn’t see the *human* print, until he went to carefully clean the rock with a brush. It was then that the man says he first saw the human print. As the article mentions, he claims he was cleaning the piece, prior to offering it for sale, to help pay for medical bills incurred by himself.” I am sure he is the same gentleman that I talked to 40 years ago, also selling his place due to medical problems—he was 40 then, so maybe he is 80 now...But you said-”Then again, it could still be could totally bogus. I really don’t know...” You quoted “The finder/owner of this particular rock, claims he didn’t see the *human* print, until he went to carefully clean the rock with a brush. Why did he tell me the same story 40 years ago? Why don’t you go down and investigate for yourself..if you need directions, give me a call..

I'm still under the impression you are confusing two different guys.

As to the one you are referring to (the one you met 40 years ago), having himself carved footprints next to real and actual dino prints --- you (and many others) could well be correct.

You say (i'm just trying to make clear sense of your meaning here);

"Why did he tell me the same story 40 years ago?"

What story was that? The part about "medical bills" --- or other?

As far as needing directions to Glen Rose, it's been a long while since I've been there, but I can read maps quite well enough, thank you.

What I WAS pointing out to you, is that IF the details concerning the acquisition of the fossil are as stated (in the article) --- then you haven't seen that one.

As no doubt your aunt has also told you that there are other human footprints mingled with the dino footprints found at the riverbed, and the forgers shared their secrets how to make THEIR CARVED HUMAN FOOTPRINTS LOOK LIKE THE REAL HUMAN FOOTPRINTS.

Selling the fakes to tourists and so forth while keeping the actual human footprints somewhere???

As your aunt may also confirm that the guy who hired locals for these carvings lived during the Depression and it would seem unlikely the gentleman in this article lived back then.
