I’d say those are classic “ big bird” tracks deep and well defined! I have quite a lot of exposed sandstone here on my place and have never ID’d any definitive tracks but there are many casts and impressions of unrecognizable debris seen between the layers. Slight thread drift (maybe by a couple hundred million years) but interesting overlay of history nonetheless. Have found a few gastroliths mixed in with pre-Columbian artifacts here though. Hard to say if because of pure coincidence or if the Indians periodically gathered and transported them here because gizzard stones as selected by the “dinos” were usually made of useful, tool making material like cryptocrystalline quartz or chert??

Found this gastrolith, among a few others, here a couple of years ago
