Well, I seriously doubt that Roger would have faked a trackway...using a 'grab bag' of various, assorted footprint casts.![]()

Don't you just love the flexibility seen in the toe patterns of those footprints of Patty's, kitty??![]()
Yes, those are supposedly the casts Titmus made from the Patty "trackway".
Its to be expected that the succession of tracks left by an animate pair of feet would vary in length depending on the conditions of each step. Differences in roll of the foot, depth of impression, aging of the print, etc. all must be taken into consideration. When you allow for the overflow of plaster the disparities are not great at all and certainly not disconcerting. These are casts of footprints, not casts of feet, afterall.
The technician who composited the scanned images scaled them to uniform length for ease of formatting. I was not concerned because I was most interested in variation in shape reflecting the animation of the step.
Well we know in the lower portion, Dr. Meldrum's assistant scaled the feet, so they would match up.
I asked him about this very thing, he answered as follows:
Yes, I only asked sweaty to remind him that the prints/casts actually wouldn't match the way he did them.
I don't see much toe flexibility, Sweaty. My toes move all over the place when I walk over rough ground, they don't stay in exactly the same formation.
At least as far as the two footprints I put together into an AG, are concerned......they were, in actual fact, the same length......as seen in the image that kitakaze posted, earlier...
I love the different sizes and actual shapes of the foot that make it impossible to come from one animal.

Ummm....yeah, and I asked you why they were the same length...
Didin't I?
Or was that Twilight Zone music I heard.
Why were they the same length, sweaty?
Because they came from the same foot??

It appears that the actual shape of the foot is different in the two casts. (It is not correct to say that the toes move. Making a gif does not make toes move. It simply compares casts.) This to me is suspicious for hoaxing. Clearly enormous tracks of that depth and area could not have been made simply by stomping. There had to have been some digging, following by stomping.
