No idea, but it is cool, doesnt look like a natural shape.

Take some higher resolution pictures with a ruler in the pic so we can get some idea of scale. I can't tell much about the object since they're a bit blurry and so little detail. Also, as bakergeol suggested some detail about composition and location of the find would be helpful. As a sidenote, however, fossil bone is generally dark and often will feel "sticky" to the touch.

Sorry guys all I have is a web cam an old one at that. I found this in a dried up river bed in southern Utah on the Arizona border and I am very new to fossils and such so please bear with me. I have looked it over again and it looks like a very small animal or human whatever left this seems to have a broken toe left side of pic. Could this be ancient mans print? The print is 7 in long and 5 in wide . Thanks again

If it's rock (limestone, sandstone, etc) and it's definitely an animal print, then it's most certainly not from a man. I would suggest you take it to a local university and ask someone in the geology department to take a look. If you really, really think it's human, then ask someone in the anthropology department.
