My dad found this about 10 years ago while digging a water well line. We thought it was pretty neat so he kept it and forgot about it until recently. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on it as far as does it seem to be a fossil or just a foot shaped rock? There are what looks exactly like five toes and a well formed foot about an inch long encased in (limestone?) with what looks like a knee joint peeking out of the top, length about 1 1/2" from bottom of foot to top of joint. He started to remove the rock with a Dremel tool but stopped in case he damaged it, other than that it is exactly how he found it. Was found 3' to 4' deep under a layer of lignite south of Madison county, Texas in Iola. Anyone interested in taking a look at it shoot me an email and I will send pictures.
