The Chardin Collective

by Noah J. Edmonds

NOTE: The following paper is a draft of a project being prepared for submission to the Occasional Papers of the Dallas Paleontological Society for a special issue on the Paluxy River. This draft serves as a preprint for peer review, commentary, and editing before submission/publication.

INTRODUCTION
The Paluxy River in Glen Rose, Texas, has been a focal point of anomalistic paleontology ever since its famous dinosaur tracks were uncovered following a major flood of the Brazos River in the early 1900s. The most well-known (and most contentious) claims have revolved around purported human footprints discovered alongside those of dinosaurs – assertions that have fueled debate for decades. This region has been a battleground for two opposing views: proponents of out-of-place artifacts/fossils who argue for either a recent creation or an extreme antiquity of humans, and proponents of mainstream geology and paleontology who reject these claims as misinterpretations or fabrications. The controversy, primarily driven by young Earth creationists, has generated a significant body of research, ranging from rigorous analysis to speculative theorizing. Despite the ongoing debate, a comprehensive and updated bibliography of sources on these anomalistic finds has yet to be published.

In creating this bibliography, I’ve drawn from several key sources. The TalkOrigins Archive offers several specialized bibliographies on the Paluxy River, ichnology, and “man tracks”, though these are brief and not intended to be comprehensive, nor do they cover the wider spectrum of anomalistic finds associated with the river. By far, the most thorough list remains Paul Heinrich’s 1996 compilation, which encompasses general geology, paleontology, and the then-emerging field of dinosaur track ichnology. While invaluable, Heinrich’s list has become a victim of its age: compiled before the rise of digital archives (especially those specific to creation science issues such as CORE Academy’s Creation-Evolution Literature Database or Creation Education’s Research Assistance Database), it lacks accessibility to many original sources and is missing critical updates from the last thirty years.

This updated bibliography addresses these gaps by focusing on the anomalous claims surrounding the Paluxy River and incorporating material published since Heinrich’s work. Additionally, I have prioritized the accessibility of sources, including links to online versions wherever possible (aside from those materials that remain undigitized or are difficult to obtain due to being published in the private press). The bibliography is organized into four main sections:

• Pro-Anomalistic Sources: These references argue that out-of-place finds, such as human footprints alongside dinosaur tracks, or trilobites, or fossilized human remains etc., have been discovered in the Paluxy River and offer defenses of these claims.

• Critical Sources: These references present mainstream scientific perspectives on the supposed anomalies, providing more conventional explanations for the findings and challenging the validity of the pro-anomalistic claims.

• Appendix A – Miscellaneous Sources: This section lists sources that could not be located but were worth mentioning for their relevance, or sources that are unique on their own, including John Morris’ back-and-forth retraction of the human track narrative on behalf of the Institute for Creation Research in the 1980s only for his organization to tacitly endorse the tracks in the modern day.

• Appendix B – Newspaper References: Heinrich’s original bibliography included a handful of newspaper articles that discussed the Paluxy human-track narrative. I’ve expanded this selection to include additional articles and have provided links to online archives, such as those managed by the Houston Public Library system, wherever possible.

This new reference list serves not only as a contemporary update to Heinrich’s work, but also as a comprehensive resource for researchers interested in the complex and controversial history of the Paluxy River’s anomalistic paleontology. I’ve arranged the sources in chronological order to help the reader tracks sources or look for certain sources by year, using alphabetical organization for authors published during the same year.

CONCLUSION
In reviewing the sources on both sides of the debate regarding the Paluxy River anomalies, a clear disparity emerges between the pro-anomalistic and critical sources in terms of both quantity and quality. This disparity was observed by Ronnie Hastings in the 1980s when he noted that “In terms of gathered data, scientific documentation, accuracy, and corroboration with other sources…(there) is so much more available documentation by scientific investigators (including photos, maps, and videotapes) than there is by creationist investigators…”. (1986b) The pro-anomalistic camp tends to rely on a smaller or more speculative base leaning on interpretations that cannot be confirmed by other observers, published mostly in the private press, lack a clear unifying methodology, and lack the reinforcement that peer review could provide them. Many of their early works, notably in the case of John Morris and the Institute for Creation Research, present claims that have simultaneously been walked back by authors only to later be re-endorsed, making for a shifting narrative over time (see Appendix A, as well as Hastings, 1986b; Kuban, 1986b; 2022a; and Numbers, 2006). In contrast, the critical sources are more numerous, better substantiated and corroborated, and integrate well with integrated models of geology.

In summary, this bibliography highlights a clear division not only in the amount of research produced but also in its reliability. The pro-anomalistic sources, while fascinating from a historical and cultural perspective, lack the rigor found in the critical sources, which continue to provide the most plausible explanations for the Paluxy River anomalies. Hopefully, this bibliography can serve those interested in the Paluxy’s history and allow for an informed evaluation of the primary sources offered by both sides.

Footnotes

1. A 1984 bibliography by Walter and Valeria Lang (Two Decades of Creationism: From 1963 to 1983) lists the tape as being produced/made available by Genesis Institute while later sources such as Glen Kuban identify the tape as credited to Carl Baugh’s Baptist “college” on his paleo.cc website.
2. Sources that are highlighted denote sources that are pro-young-Earth creationism that reject the Paluxy tracks/anomalies despite being predisposed or expected to accept them.
3. In Rusch’s paper, he said that he planned to investigate the Paluxy tracks further and, should they prove to be human, he would publish a follow-up on his findings. He never published that follow-up, implying he did not think they were human.

APPENDICES

Appendix A – Miscellaneous Sources

– The John Morris “Retraction”

I chose not to include the saga of John Morris and the Institute for Creation Research above due to the back-and-forth nature of the situation. John D. Morris was the son of Henry M. Morris, and wrote perhaps the most definitive creationist book arguing that there were human tracks in the Paluxy River, the 1980 Tracking Those Incredible Dinosaurs…and the People Who Knew Them. Morris’ organization, the Institute for Creation Research, presented itself as the primary organization in defending the “human” track interpretation of the Paluxy tracks. (Kuban, 2022) However, during this same time, Glen Kuban and others had been working diligently to demonstrate the dinosaurian features of the tracks in the river and by the mid-1980s had definitively shown that the tracks were not human. After Kuban sent his articles to Morris and various other members of the ICR along with repeated invitations to look at the evidence he and his co-researchers had uncovered, Morris finally met Kuban in Glen Rose in October 1985 to view the evidence firsthand. By showing Morris that the “human” tracks showed preserved dinosaur toe, claw, and metatarsal impressions, matched dinosaur stride measurements and even revealed hidden three-to (tridactyl) color outlines when cleaned, Kuban managed to get Morris to agree that the best “human trails” looked distinctly dinosaurian and that the case for them being human had “weakened considerably”. (Kuban, 1986a) Shortly thereafter, Morris would publish an article titled “The Paluxy River Mystery” where he would recommend creationists no longer use the Paluxy tracks as an argument for young-Earth creationism, and the Institute for Creation Research pulled Tracking Those Incredible Dinosaurs from publication. (Kuban, 2022) However, Morris complicated things by stopping short of making a full retraction – he instead described the tridactyl color patterns pointed out by Kuban as “baffling” and cited half a dozen other “mysteries” that he thought left the tracks in limbo and required further research. Shortly after Morris published this article, Kuban responded showing that Morris’ “lingering mystery” language was effectively an ad-hoc hedge that allowed him to avoid a complete retraction, and refuted his objections point by point. (Kuban, 1986a)

And it was in this limbo that the Institute for Creation Research’s position stayed for decades – 30 years later, Morris published an equally confusing article titled “Paluxy River: The Tale of the Trails” that added nothing new to the discussion yet attempted to confirm that the previous evidence cited by creationists was no longer valid while suggesting that the tracks hadn’t been satisfactorily shown to be dinosaurian (even though they had). (Kuban, 2022) This was while the Institute continued to sell material such as Henry Morris’ Scientific Creationism or Henry Morris and John Whitcomb’s The Genesis Flood that openly defended the Paluxy human-track narrative. (Kuban, 2022)

As of 2025, the ICR has swung to the other side of the pendulum and has apparently moved to encourage the human track interpretation in a more open fashion – on pp. 144-145 of the 2022 edition of Henry Morris’ Scientific Creationism, the book recommends John Morris’ Tracking Those Incredible Dinosaurs, along with the 2013 documentary Footprints in Stone: Forbidden History II, to readers who want to know more about the human footprints in the Paluxy River. The documentary presents a case for the footprints that goes far beyond the “mysterious” anomalies cited by John Morris and unequivocally claims that there are definitive human tracks in the Paluxy River, making the ICR’s previous semi-retractions even more confusing in the face of this contemporary endorsement of the human track narrative. It should be noted that even though the ICR no longer sells John Morris’ book, none of the footnotes point this out or clarify the ICR’s current position. Perhaps the ICR will make a future statement where it comes down definitively on one side or the other – I’ve considered writing them to ask about the discrepancy in person, and will update this article if I get a response.

– The Westcott Notes

While compiling sources, I found two PDF files hosted on the website of the Sanford Westcott Foundation, a ministry founded by psychologist Dr. Robert S. Westcott. (2014a; 2014b) These documents, along with accompanying slideshows, provide passing reference to Westcott’s field investigations at the Paluxy River. It appears that he took at least two field trips to the River, once in 1964 and again in 1971, and was advocating for the tracks being human as recently as 2014, shortly before his passing. Sadly, as far as I could tell, Westcott never made his full field notes available publicly. However, his investigations date back to some of the earliest conducted by creationists, among the likes of Cecil Dougherty and Fred Beierle in the 1960s and 1970s.

– The Creation Evidence Museum’s “Taylor Track Video”

This entry was included in Paul Heinrich’s Paluxy References, but no other information was provided and unlike Baugh’s other tape Enemies Survived Together for a While, this one isn’t mentioned in any secondary sources that might give a better idea of what the tape contains, what it was about, etc. Aaron Judkins, a close associate of Baugh, uploaded a now-privated video on his Rumble page titled Creation Evidence Museum – 1988, which appeared to be a digital upload of a 1988 VHS tape that features Baugh and several others promoting the man-track interpretation at the Taylor Trail, but I’m not sure if this was what Heinrich was referring to. If it is, I’ll publish a digital copy I saved and link it in the bibliography above under the same title.

– Creation-Evolution Literature Database Paluxy References

While searching the Creation-Evolution Literature Database, I found several articles from that I could not find print or digital copies of and, even though they seem to be defending the man-track interpretation, was not sure where to categorize them.
