These are images of Mainer Tom Martin’s “fossilized Bigfoot tracks” as noted in the blog, “Ah, Bigfoot and ME”. See that posting for more details.

ummm. hmph.
Hmm, I guess Bigfoot didn’t have toes back then, maybe he was more like a Ducksquatch. These “fossils” don’t look like anything special.
Ok. They’re odd all right. That’s about all I can say at this point, I think.
“Ducksquatch”……I love it! Thanks for that one.

But fossilized footprints??
Hmmmmmmmmm… yeah…
hey everyone this is a wonderful article those photos of maine sasquatch footprints plaster casts are very inpressive. thanks bill
Those “footprints” remind me of the pointy rocks people bring me and insist are projectile points. Bill - those aren’t prints, casts, or fossils…they are just sedimentary rock.
they are just sedimentary rock.
They’re not even that, they look to be staurolite mica schists, likely weathered smooth in a stream bed.
Schists are rocks produced by fairly high grade metamorphism (heating and pressure) of fine-grained sedimentary rocks until the clays recrystalize to mica grains and iron and manganese silicates grow into staurolite crystals. Staurolites often, but not always, grow in the shape of little crosses, hence the name.
Here’s a photo.
Not sure where Mr. Martin found his rocks in Maine, but my guess would be somewhere in the southern half to two-thirds of the state. This portion is pretty much all within the Peidmont physiogeogrpahic province of the Atlantic Coast and consists mostly of metamorphic rock and igneous intrusions.
