Creationists claim that human footprints coexist with those of dinosaurs in Cretaceous limestone exposed in the Paluxy riverbed, near Glen Rose, Texas. Such an occurrence, if verified, would seriously disrupt conventional interpretations of biological and geological history and would support the doctrines of creationism and catastrophism. Analysis of photos presented by creationists shows that the features in question are not human footprints. The best single “man track” (the Morris print) is a carved artifact.
