Valin Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 The Daily Caller[/b] Kay Smythe July 19, 2024 A man from eastern Arizona uncovered hundreds of fossilized footsteps on his property that are believed to date back more than 240 million years. James Lang of Snowflake, Arizona, spent more than five years uncovering slabs of rock across his property containing the preserved footprints of the chirotherium, an archosaur (giant lizard) that predates the dinosaurs, according to AZ Family. “They’re big reptiles, but it’s called chirotherium because it looks like a hand. So ‘chiro’ means hand. ‘Therium’ means monster or beast,” Lang told the outlet. He apparently purchased the property sight unseen and was hoping for a relaxing retirement after moving from Chicago. He discovered the footprints sticking out of the ground during a walk and brought in paleontologists from the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. azfamily 3TV CBS 5 @azfamily Eastern Arizona man finds hundreds of tracks that predate dinosaurs on his property https://azfamily.com/2024/07/18/eas 10:05 PM · Jul 17, 2024 (Snip) ________________________________ Ken Ham in 5..4..3..2..1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
