HANDPRINT EXCAVATED IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS DURING A CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY AND GIVEN TO CREATION EVIDENCES MUSEUM.
As field paleontologist Joe Taylor wrote:
” A CT-Scan shows compression of the laminations in the rock under the hand print. I personally examined the actual print on April 18. Aside from the striking fact that it is obviously human, the surface texture of the palm area would be practically impossible to scuplt. When a latex mold was removed from it, the nail from the second finger was imprinted since this area was recessed, it is very unlikely that it would have been carved, even if the carver thought of it. The web between the thumb and the index finger is apparent. Again, unlikkly that a good carver would think of that.
One thing that struck me was the surface above and in front of the print. It is raised in in an arc just as one would expect from a sudden jolt, but the glazed surface of the palm and fingers which looks like a thin patina, is in my estimation,not a likely carving.
The limestone in that is cretaceous in designation and in evolutionary years any age from 70 to 120 million years.

FIGURE 15: Adams footprint: Adams-Moore Print: During the Depression, George “Bull” Adams carved some very authentic-looking dinosaur prints, and decided to make one attempt at a human print. The resulting work drew local attention.But when an official from the Smithsonian I titute came looking fort it, Mr. Adams buried it to avoid confusion. According to family legend, this was the only human-looking print he carved. Decades later (2008), the old homeplace was sold, and excavation began for a parking lot. Mr. Moore (((get details from musem))) asked for permission to use a metal detector on the site, and discovered this print. CT scans confirmed this to be a carved print, lacking the density variations displayed in a genuine print. After allowing detailed photography and CT scanning, the print was returned to the Adams family.
Would pristine human and dinosaur fossil footprints found together in the same ancient rock layer disprove evolution of life from a common ancestor?
