The Glen Rose tracks

A remarkable number of human tracks have been found in a Cretaceous limestone formation near Glen Rose, Texas. Many are of giant men. The prints have been found in the bed of Paluxy River, when it is dry in the summer. Some are next to, on top of, or under dinosaur tracks.

The Glen Rose tracks are 15 inches long [38.1 cm], and were probably made by people over 8 feet tall. Some, 21½ inches [54.6 cm] long, would have been made by people almost 12 feet tall.

*R.T. Bird, a paleontologist with the American Museum of Natural History, also found a trail of Brontosaurus tracks which were shipped to the museum. Some human tracks overlaid the dinosaur tracks, and some were found in layers below the dinosaurs.

Yes, they apparently are real enough. Real as the rock could be . . the strangest things of their kind I had ever seen. On the surface of each was displayed the near-likeness of a human foot, perfect in every detail. But each imprint was 15 inches long!"—*Roland T. Bird, "Thunder in His Footsteps,"

White Sands tracks  [*Also referred to as the The Alamogordo tracks]

In 1932, Ellis Wright found human tracks in gypsum rock at White Sands, New Mexico. His discovery was later backed up by Fred Arthur, Supervisor of the Lincoln National Park and others who reported that each footprint was 22 inches long and from 8 to 10 inches wide. They were certain the prints were human in origin . Tracks, apparently made by human beings, were found in the Alkali Flats area of Great White Sands, New Mexico, in 1931. A year later an investigation was launched and more tracks were discovered

U.S. Army Report, 1981 ...The site was revisited in 1972, 1974, and 1981, and more tracks were found. When they were first studied, it had been noted that the imprints were 2 1/2 inches deep. But in 1974 (42 years later) they were between 1 and 1 1/2 inches above the ground! The compacting of the soft earth by the heavy tread of the creature had preserved the prints while the surrounding soil had been eroded by wind and the occasional rainfall. By 1981 the tracks stood well above the surface by several inches. There is no doubt that the tracks were made by living creatures. One suggestion is that they were made in the 1850's by US Army camels, a more accepted view is that they are 10,000 years old, and were made by an extinct animal such as a Mammoth or native camel. But the spacing of the footprints suggests a two legged creature. The mysterious tracks are now protected by archaeologists.

 "As this muddy sediment was beginning to harden, some prehistoric giant apparently walked across the drying lakebed, leaving a series of tracks made by sandaled feet. There are 13 human tracks, each track approximately 22 inches [55.8] long and from 8 to 10 inches [20.32-25.4 cm] wide. The stride is from four to five feet [121.9-152.4 cm]."—H.R. Siegler Evolution or degeneration--which? (1972), p. 83. Ancient Man

Jurassic Giant Man

Eureka, Nevada -

In July, 1877, four prospectors were looking for gold and silver  outcroppings in a desolate, hilly area near the head of Spring Valley, not far from Eureka, Nevada. Scanning the rocks, one of the men spotted something peculiar projecting from a high ledge. Climbing up to get a better look, the prospector was surprised to find a human leg bone and knee cap sticking out of solid rock. He called to his companions, and together they dislodged the oddity with picks. Realizing they had a most unusual find, the men brought it into Eureka, where it was placed on display. The stone in which the bones were embedded was a hard, dark red quartzite, and the bones themselves were almost black with carbonization - indicative of great age. When the surrounding stone was carefully chipped away, the specimen was found to be composed of a leg bone broken off four inches above the knee, the knee cap and joint, the lower leg bones, and the complete bones of the foot. Several medical doctors examined the remains, and were convinced that anatomically they had indeed once belonged to a human being, and a very modern-looking one. But an intriguing aspect of the bones was their size: from knee to heel they measured 39 inches. Their owner in life had thus stood over 12 feet tall. Compounding the mystery further was the fact that the rock in which the bones were found was dated geologically to the era of the dinosaurs, the Jurassic - over 185 million years old. The local papers ran several stories on the marvelous find, and two museums sent investigators to see if any more of the skeleton could be located. Unfortunately, nothing else but the leg and foot existed in the rock." Strange Relics from the Depths of the Earth-- by J.R. Jochmans, 
 

Carson City Giant Tracks

In the 1870's at Nevada State Prison, in Carson City, a variety of animal tracks were found, including those of mammoth, bison, wolf, birds, as well as some large unusual tracks of uncertain origin. The prints in question ranged from 18 to 21 inches long and 8 to 9 inches wide. They bore a slight resemblance to human footprints, but were most likely the prints of a Giant Sloth.  Carson City, Nevada "Giant Tracks"
 

Australian Giants 3 huge footprints preserved by volcanic lava and ash flows which "occurred millions of years" before man is supposed to have appeared in Australia were discovered south of Penrith, Australia. These prints measured 2' long and 7 " across the toes, were 6 ft. apart, which would indicate the stride of a 12 ft. giant . See Ancient Giants of Austrailia
Miscellaneous
A large stone bearing the perfect imprint of a human foot 14 1/2 inches long was shown to members of the Ohio State Academy of science in 1896. The stone slab had been dug from the ground in a hill four miles north of Parkersburg, West Virginia some 20 years earlier. The American Anthropologist, February 1896 "A Discovery in Sandals " In 1938 Dr. Wilbur Burroughs, head of the geology department of Berea College, Kentucky announced that he had discovered 10 humanoid footprints in carboniferous sandstone on a farm belonging to Mr. O. Finnell in the hills in the southern part of Rockcastle County. The prints were 9 1/2 inches long and 6 inches wide. The length between footprints was 18 inches. No marks of forefeet or a tail were found. Photomicrographs and infrared photography revealed that there were no signs of carving or artificial markings in or around the prints. A microscopic count of sand grains indicated that the material within the prints had been impacted, and created as the result of a force pressing down on the firmament while it was soft. These facts show that the prints were made by the natural result of pressure from the human foot, and in no way could have been duplicated by carving. The rock in which the prints were discovered was estimated to be 250 million years old. In recent years, the prints have been destroyed by "vandals."  Mysteries of Time and Space   Brad Steiger   "...horses, bears, turkeys, and six toed humans left their tracks in what is now solid stone near the headwaters of the Tennessee River, a few miles south of Braystow, North Carolina. According to Josiah Priest, a 19th century writer on antiquities, the bizarre humanoid tracks included one of a giant - 16 inches long, 13 inches across at the toes, and 5 inches wide at the ball of the heel."  American Antiquities and Discoveries in the West:     Mississippi River in St. Louis. Circa 1816 -- a slab was quarried from its position and taken by a Mr. George Rappe to Indiana. On the Slab were Human Footprints 10 1/2 inches long and 4 inches wide at the toes, 6 1/4 inches apart at the heels, and 13 1/2 inches spanning between the toes. "the toes being very much spread, and the foot flattened in a manner that happens to those who have been habituated to go a great length of time without shoes. Notwithstanding this circumstance, the prints are strikingly natural, exhibiting every muscular impression, and the swell of the heels and the toes, with a precision and faithfulness to nature, which I have not been able to copy, with perfect exactness, in the present drawing.... Every appearance will warrant the conclusion that these impressions were made at a time when the rock was soft enough to receive them by pressure, and that the marks and features of the feet are natural and genuine." In the geologic scheme of things, this limestone hardened about 270 million years ago. Both the rock and the prints in it were said to show the same evidence of wear and aging."
