Is this a fossilized moose track?

Possible Fossil Moose Track

Came across this track in Hamilton Ontario, Canada.
It’s fossilized in bedrock. Wondering if this is a moose track at all. Maybe a beef cow track. No idea. Also, not sure how old this is, but the rocks around here are millions of years old.
How far back do moose go ?
Thanks.

Thanks for sharing! That is quite the find. I would check with some local archeologists as let them have a look. If the track is fossilized that would mean the track is millions of years old. I don’t think moose as we know them were around back then.
It is not an area of expertise that I am familiar with.
Please let us know any further information you find out. Very interesting indeed.

morning Mark, I want to thank you again for your outstanding service. As luck
would have it, when I arrived home after work yesterday the moose call was in
my mail box. It figures when the Postal Circus is involved.

Cool website, nice to see others that consider the moose as a majestic creature. We are going to park the quads this year and use the boat, get away from the others. Will let you know if it is a successful hunt.
