Finally (before the rains start) got the majority of the rock slabs with footprints out of the creekbed! Got the dirt washed off. Triassic era. The ones that look like handprints are Chirotherium - Hand Beast. I still have not found out what the smaller, bird like prints are from.

Wow, such an amazing find you got there! The fossils are still quite well-preserved. I can still see the Chirotherium footprints on it, it’s weird how they almost resemble a human hand.
 

Awesome just the fact of how old those are. Thats a great find thanks for sharing those.......Tommy
 

The rock slabs were big. Played cowboy and lassoed them with towing chain and deagged them out.
