While it does look like it could some kind of fossil, it doesn't look to me like any part of a skeleton. If it is, what bones are shaped like that ?

And if it is a dino turd,...... good thing he didn't step in it ! :D

Please get three opinions etc etc.

I've seen many people swindled and taken advantage of, even very smart people.

It's going to be a garden ornament.

Turns out there was a Mastodon skeleton discovered nearby but the legs were not found...I'm serious. :|

Me thinks Fred and Barney hauled those missing Mastodon legs over this way and had a really big BBQ with the rest of the Clan. :lol:

Might even find an empty keg if I'd look hard enough. :P

I like the idea of dino foot. Pay $990 and get the genome sequenced and start your own Jurassic Park. I'm with David. We are about 10 years away from some third world country doing this to bump up tourism. We won't do it as there will be regs. Think Tyrannosaurus Rex or FF for all posterity - very exciting.
