Paluxy footprints  

Definición

  • Found in the Cretaceous limestone of the Paluxy River basin in Texas, the Paluxy footprints are tracks—genuine, forged, and imaginary—that a number of creationists have notoriously adduced as evidence for the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs. After a 1908 flood near Glen Rose, Texas, a number of large (15–18″; 38–46 cm) footprints, superficially and vaguely human in appearance and locally believed to be human in origin, were discovered in a limestone shelf (now dated to the lower Cretaceous period, about 113 million years ago) in the Paluxy River.
