Guest Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 ^^Of course C. I can't imagine any conditions that would cause only dermals to show up on a cast without scars or creases. There would be the whole anchilada from an outdoor life in barefeet. I'm just saying that I don't expect to see any of these details on a cast period. Not impossible, but unless bigfoot's dermals looked just like casting artifacts, I'm not holding my breath. And if we do notice them in the future, then the "print" must be documented correctly. But I still think we could distinguish between dermals & casting artifacts, if we wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cervelo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Cervello, the pics of those feet are of a human not a sasquatch. Sasquatch have a VERY thick pad. The human foot would have wrinkles cuz we don't develop AS THICK of a pad as sasquatch. Plus the weight that bears down on a sasquatch foot is 2 and 1/2 times that of a human as percentages go... roughly. Thats why they are not only longer but wider. It's like comparing oranges and apples. LOL yes you are correct I'm way out of line comparing, feet with all the accompanying, expected damage of a life lived barefoot, to an unproven, undocumented, hominid who apparently based upon an abundance of cast evidence must routinely get pedicures, since thier feet seem to be in pristine condition and only reveal minuscule dermal ridges but no other signs of a lifetime of walking barefoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Except of course the casts that where made of the individual with the severely deformed foot. The soles of the feet would have to be tough enough to resist injury,cuts and punctures can be fatal in the wild. I would not expect to see a lot of scaring or unusual wear patterns, I would think the feet would look "natural" This is another example of thinking in terms of our own feet, and how they would react to that life style. But we are not talking about our feet, we are talking about feet like ours, only conditioned and adapted to the environment they live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cervelo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) JohnC, I can appreciate what your saying, but completely disagree and yours is the same old selective defense of something that has little if any evidence to support the exsitence of biggie, by attacking "my thinking" we are bipeds and so are they,I think it's a fair comparison. However you want roll works for me! Pick a thread in the tar pit and we can exchange ideas on each others thinking, I'll make it abundantly clear how and what I think! I'm not discounting all tracks just raising an issue that I find intriguing Edited August 4, 2012 by Cervelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Do we see a lot of scarring in Bear casts? Do we see evidence of cuts, and destruction in cougar or wolf casts? Quit frankly, I do not need an invitation to pay money to go someplace to have an argument with you, if thats how you feel, and that is the motivation for premium membership, I am more than happy to pass it up, feel free to put me on ignore.

Guest Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Cervelo! Easy does it friend...Dermal ridges transfer thru the obviousley thick pad of sasquatch feet right? These show up in casts and have been identified by experts. I have only seen one cast photo that I can think of with a noticable scar in it which the author noted (Not sure which book...probably Legend meets Science by Meldrum) It also stated that scar tissue would not last long on a padded foot cuz it's always growing, adding more similar to what our toenails are made of. After some time the scar would cover over with new "callous".(sp?) The Dermal ridges remaining. Edited August 5, 2012 by kearnsey64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cervelo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) If you say so I've read the book not much to see there that already hadn't been beaten to death. Sorry I don't know of any "experts" on Bigfoot tracks or Bigfoot feet or Bigfoot for that matter. No worries here believe what you want! But please don't start with the experts, he said she said, I read it on the Internet somewhere, so it must be true marlarkey LOL Quick google search yielded this, caption said it was a scar from when they we're 6yrs old guess it could be fake and another they appear to be endless and disgusting K the invite extends to you as well the Tar Pits a blast you get to see people's true colors for sure!!!!

bipedalist Posted August 5, 2012 BFF Patron Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) ....After some time the scar would cover over with new "callous".(sp?) The Dermal ridges remaining. But with injury, according to Chilcutt, the dermal ridges would be drawn into the injury in a tighter pattern (scroll into 05:24 for the quote), thus making it clear the difference between a fold or crease and an injury delineation. Man that foot looks pretty nasty Cervelo, almost as bad as mine with an ill fitting set of boots on the AT one year, lol.
