The Ryals Track

The fossil footprint seen in these pictures is called "Ryals Track," named for Jim Ryals who removed a beautiful left footprint from the Paluxy River bed back in the 30's. The resulting hole in the Cretaceous limestone can be seen directly ahead of this right footprint. The track that Mr. Ryals removed was on display for years in the courtyard of Dr. Cook's medical clinic in Cleburne, Texas. |

It was suggested that the great toe of the track extended too far forward. We discovered that clay filling the track had not been completely removed. When it was carefully excavated, Dr. Patton's toes fit perfectly back under the limestone. When this was done, the great toe fitting perfectly. Dinosaur toes which extend back under the limestone, can be seen in some of the hundreds of tracks found in the same layer. |

When the individual stepped forward it appears that the toes drug, leaving an impression in the now hard limestone. Dr. Don Patton illustrates how these impressions were made. As Dr. Patton stepped forward, his toes naturally fit into the depressions. (Click on photo for high resolution) |

Prized Ryals Track destroyed once for all time!
This is one of three tracks featured at the 1989 Dayton, TN creation conference that was destroyed the next day. On August 12, 1989 Dr. Don Patton spoke at a creation conference in Dayton, TN. He presented compelling evidence that both human and dinosaur tracks were present at the Taylor Trail, including these pictures. Two well known evolutionists were present and at least one was conspicuously disturbed by this presentation. Both flew to Dallas the next morning and went immediately to the Paluxy River. It is reliably reported that they were in the river that afternoon with an "iron bar." Three days before they were in the river the footprint was observed looking like the pictures above. Three days after they were in the river, the track was destroyed.
