260 million year old Tarantula' Footprints found >

These are footprints left behind when a tarantula-size arachnid crawled over the sand of whats now northern Arizona, 260 million years ago. We dont know where it was going or what it was doing, but each time the critter pressed one of its eight feet into the ground, it left a tiny, cup-shaped imprint in the dewy grains.
