The estimated 140-pound stone was recovered in July 2000 from the bank of a creek that feeds the Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas, located about 53 miles south of Fort Worth.
Similar ones from that same river in the same location have been around since at least before the early 1970's. There was also a sandal imprint with cast from New Mexico, I believe, with a trilobite in the mud of the heel impression. Other interesting phenomena are trans-strata fossils such as petrified trees in situ crossing strata of vastly differing ages (according to the index fossils of the adjacent strata). In addition, contrary to the pictures in junior and senior high science books of the strata stacked from pre-Cambrian to Holocene, they can be found in any order, youngest on oldest, oldest on youngest, and in almost any other imaginable combination. One can also find strata that change age (according to index fossils) horizontally within the same physical layer.

“they can be found in any order, youngest on oldest, oldest on youngest, and in almost any other imaginable combination.”
In that case, the “scientific” ordering of the strata must be arbitrary and meaningless.
