SUPERBLY IMPRESSED IN MOIST, CRACKED RIVERBANK MUD - DURING "THE AGE OF AMPHIBIANS" - 315 MILLION YEARS AGO, this rare specimen of 2 sharp, complete Limnopus [Batrachichnus] plainvillensis amphibian footprints from Plainville, Massachusetts looks like a dinosaur's trackway, only smaller! Extraordinarily crisp details like all digits [4 on smaller forefoot, and 5 on larger hind foot], the sweep of the "palm", and sharp "heel" impressions can be clearly seen. Alive, thriving, and abundant long before the dinosaurs - during the Coal Age - these adventurous salamandroids were among the first vertebrates to walk on land [which means they're your ancestors!]. Two or three toe tip impressions are also present nearby on the matrix, too, so why not make ancient L. plainvillensis amphibian footprints from Massachusetts a part of your collection of choice fossils from around the world tonight!
DIMENSIONS: [matrix] 6" L x 4" W x 0.7" D
*Footprints are the actual, concave [negative] imprints, and are 0.6 and 0.85 inches in size. When you touch them, you're touching the same grains of sand the salamander touched so long ago!
