What Preserved the Footprints?
However, with everything that has been said about the discovery and all the research being conducted, there is one major question on many minds. How did the footprints manage to stay intact for so many years – millions of years, that is! From further investigations, it was revealed the possibility of this happening could be that water and sand had covered the tracks and preserved them. So, as time passed, the prints were able to embed themselves in the rocks and stayed in tune for millions of years, and became part of the Manakacha Formation. This hidden treasure was probably waiting for the right moment to reveal itself to the world.

Rowland’s Finding Inconclusive
But, as investigations and research continue, we may have to agree that Rowland’s findings are nowhere in concluding the full truth. The findings may even cause a bit of stir and form much controversy as it relates to other experts in the paleontology circle. After Rowland made his findings public, Grand Canyon’s Mark Nebel detailed in an interview with the Associated Press that most of that information could be far-fetched. Nebel noted there is a lot to disagree with in terms of the age of the rocks and the tracks that were found on them. In addition, the interpretation of the type of creature leaving the mark could also be questionable.
