The imprint of a leather shoe was found in Triassic limestone in Fisher Canyon, Pershing County, Nevada, by Alfred E. Knapp. According to microphotographs of the print (found in 1927) the leather was hand stitched with a finer thread than was customarily used by shoemakers in 1927. Triassic limestone is conventionally dated as between 180 - 225 million years old.
