WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. THE HANDPRINT (OR FOOTPRINT) IN SANDSTONE WAS OBVIOUSLY MADE BY A PRIMATE.
WHEN I LOOK AT MY OWN HAND I AM STRUCK BY THE SIMILARITY: THE FINGER JOINTS, THE LONGER MIDDLE FINGER AND THE CLEARLY DEFINED FINGERNAIL.
MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE SANDSTONE BLOCK, NOW IN THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN VIENNA (AUSTRIA) IS FROM A GEOLOGICAL PERIOD MORE THAN 250,000,000 YEARS AGO; AND THAT IS THE TIME IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE GREATEST MASS EXTINCTION OF SPECIES HERE ON EARTH.
BUT THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF PRIMATES ON THE EARTH IS ONLY 50,000,000 YEARS AGO, YOU SAY. AND BEFORE TODAY I WOULD HAVE AGREED WITH YOU.
CLEARLY SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP. THE SUMS ARE OUT BY A MASSIVE >200,000,000 YEARS.
FOR COMPARISON WITH THE ABOVE FOOTPRINT (OR HANDPRINT) HERE ARE SOME 'MODERN' HANDS AND FEET:
AND HERE ARE THE SUSPECTS - THE PRIMATES:
IT'S WORTH MENTIONING THAT THE FIRST DINOSAURS APPEARED 230,000,000 YEARS AGO. IN OTHER WORDS THEY APPEARED SOME 20,000,000 YEARS AFTER OUR PRIMATE LEFT CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF ITS PRIOR EXISTENCE IN THE HARDENING SANDS OF THE PANGAEA SUPERCONTINENT.
THINK ABOUT IT.
