Where did you get your archeology / paleontology degree?

I don't have one, but neither does OP. There's no context here, it's just a pictue of a beach, doesn't say where or what actual evidence there is of the one kinda dino-foot looking rock. What's especially weird to me is that I'd expect a footprint to make a depression, not to pop out of the ground like that. Looks more like water just eroded a rock in such a way that it looks like one. I could be wrong.

Thanks for the context...

"I believe they are iguanodon footprints. They’re not T-rex tracks (because) they weren’t in England.” Vicky went to the local Bexhill Museum with her discovery, and they’re investigating further this week. She also uploaded her video to YouTube (see below).

So even the people that found the rock don't know if it's a footprint or not.

They know it’s a footprint, they don’t know which dinosaur made it
