What is that next to the last? A caveman boot print? Nah, cavemen didn't wear boots, only loafers. It is a imprint of a snakeskin in a rock. Fossilized I guess. I've found a few down there in that creek. |

It's a fossil of an ancient plant. I will have to look up the name of it but I am 100% sure of it. Very cool photos guys.

Please do. It sure as heck looks like the scales of a snake. Very even and exact. But I am far from an expert. I have 2 of them at the house and i've left a couple others that weren't quite as defined. I have another picture that I didn't post of anther that looks similar. The one I posted by far is the most detailed i've found.

www.uky.edu/KGS/fossils/fossilid.htm#alHere you go. Scaly shapes, snake skin 1.A common misidentification of fossils occurs with scaly shapes. Amateur collectors often report finding fossil snake skin, especially in Kentucky's two coal fields. These fossils are actually the imprints of fossil lycopod tree bark. Some may look like pineapple skin, others like reptile skin.

You sure Duff? Very very similar and they obviously have different shapes among that family of tree. I have one other that is close, and a pic of another. Those other 2 look like some of the ones on the images I found. But the one above is very defined and even. I have no idea and do not care either way. I just think it is a neat find.
Then again, I suppose that a snake fossil would be more cartilage imprint vs scales.

Yea pretty sure. I have seen one very simular to your photo in collections but for the life of me couldn't put my fingers on a good picture. Regardless those are very cool finds and besides it's your rock and your story now! Snake fossil does sound much better then a tree.

Only said snake because that is the more than obvious look. Maybe it's a tree snake? Next time some guy is showing off his snakeskin boots, i'm gonna tell him that isn't snake, it's Lycopod.
Thanks for the info Duff in all seriousness, I never would have guessed.
