Bigfoot print fossil?


More bigfoot for you. This time a fossilized footprint found in Tennessee.
Harold Jackson is an amateur archaeologist who enjoys collecting arrowheads and other Native American artifacts. But the most extraordinary find of his life came on his property near the Caney Fork River.For months he stepped on a rock near his house that caught his eye. Finally, he brought the unusual rock home and cleaned it up. After all of the mud was removed, a remarkable discovery was revealed.
I don't know anything about archaeology or anything, but if you look at it, it's a footprint. No animal footprint looks like that. Now, if it's a Native American, an Indian, then he was a big Indian," said Jackson. "(The print) is about 11 inches wide and about 15 inches long."Jackson said the fossilized print clearly shows the heel and all five toes.

Have to say that this seems very possible. Why not a recently extinct North American Ape? It could explain a lot of the folklore.
