<kan1-anointed> -- Impression of footwear with homonid toe prints. A stress crack where the push off tore the clay apart. The crack can be seen as a blurry line right at the sharp end of the arrow labeled “split in tipe piece” this is the center of the big toe. The other four toes are just to the right of the ridge caused by the pressure forming of the clay under a soft wet leather sole of something like a Mukluk holding the sole down in front of the ridge. There is a displaced piece in this photo labeled “stitches on far side and ridgge” that may fit just on the other side of the weed stem that has a notch caused by the webbing between the hallux and the foot along with a continuation of the front ridge. The stitching along this piece's top edge would not have been viewable in this photo if it had not been displaced. This abductable big toe places this hominid in the age range of the Laetoli footprints with which they share some bone impressions. Could it be possible that a population of Homo habilus might have survived here until later groups arrived from Europe and Asia? [Please compare with D. F. Medlum: Fossil Footprints]
