Footprint clues: bird-like theropod fossil on stone slab
A 1400 pound rock hosts a 95 million year old bird-like theropod fossil. Three sharp claw marks mark the front of the prints with a heel 9 cm behind the claws. Footprints, described by student Mcrea under paleontologist Phil Currie, show three forward toes in a V. An inner toe points backward and the heel rises, with curved claws typical of theropods.
