Marx Bigfoot / Sasquatch Handprint

In the summer of 1970, veteran game guide Ivan Marx discovered and photographed unusually large handprints in northeastern Washington state. Plaster casts were made from these prints and later loaned to anthropologist Dr. Grover Krantz, who produced study molds for further research.

These casts are remarkable for their non-opposable thumbs—lacking the thenar eminence of human hands. Instead, the hand structure suggests an adaptation for digging and raking vegetation, rather than fine manipulation. The fingers are nearly uniform in size, (and the thumbs are not opposed)

and the hands are exceptionally broad, far exceeding normal human proportions.

Dimensions: Length 12.7 in. (32.3 cm), Width 10.4 in. (26.5 cm)

Origin: Colville, Washington, 1970

Catalog Reference: Original plaster cast produced by John W. Olsen in 1979 at the Arizona State Museum (ASM Catalog No. 2011-470-2d), from a specimen obtained through Dr. Grover Krantz.

Each cast offered here is a museum-quality reproduction, faithfully replicated from Krantz’s original study molds.

📸 Photos may show multiple casts; each handprint is sold separately.

Note my own hand in one of the photos.  I am 6ft 6" tall.  This creatures hand dwarfs mine!

For someone to fake these handprints they would appear to require a knowledge of primate anatomy that cannot easily be explained.

 

In the late 1980s, Paul Freeman brought in some casts of hand imprints from the Blue Mountains on the Washington-Oregon border. The most impressive of these is a pair of almost flat prints that he told me were made on a stream bank when the sasquatch apparently stumbled onto one knee in midstream and slapped its hands down on the far bank as it fell. His description of the circumstances that he gave to Bob Titmus was rather different, which has raised some concern about their authenticity. The hands are complete except for a part of the "heel" of one where Freeman had built a cardboard dam to hold the plaster at the water's edge. Another specimen is the imprint of four knuckles and a thumb, evidently pressed into the ground as the sasquatch lost its footing and needed just a bit of additional support at that moment." - Grover Krantz

The pair of handprints from the stream bank are roughly similar to Marx's handprints from northeastern Washington in that they are very large and disproportionately wide (Fig. 21). They measure 8.5 and 9 inches across the widest parts of the palms, and the complete right hand is almost 13 inches long including the third digit: its wrist the impression and the exact edge of the palm.
