The track of an individual with a presumed cripple foot was discovered in Bossburg, Washington in 1969. The malformed right foot has been previously misidentified as a case of talipes equinoverus (clubfoot). However, it is consistent with the general condition of pes cavus, specifically metatarsus adductus or possibly skewfoot. Its unilateral manifestation makes it more likely that the individual was suffering from a lesion on the spinal cord rather than a congenital deformity. Regardless of the epidemiology, the pathology highlights the evident distinctions of skeletal anatomy. The prominent bunnionettes on the lateral margin of the foot mark the positions of the calcaneocuboid and cuboideometatarsal joints, which are positioned more distal than in a human foot. This accords with the inferred position of the transverse tarsal joint and confirms the elongation of the heel segment. Furthermore, deformities and malalignments of the digits permit inferences about the positions of interphalangeal joints and relative toe lengths, as depicted in the reconstructed skeletal anatomy depicted below.
The Bossburg track is what convinced Dr. Grover Krantz that sasquatches are an actual animal/species and not just folklore.

Oh... and there were also multiple trackways that rule out the chance of a one-track miss-understanding.
DeleteKrantz also saw the real Minnesota Iceman.
ReplyDeleteThey also found wheelchair tracks in the woods.
ReplyDeleteKrantz also saw a bigfoot in an electric wheelchair.
ReplyDeleteGrey the Dogman has threatened Iktomi apparently.
