hm, a single footprint makes it a palaeontological site? Maybe, still I'd
go for a footprint tag,
on a node or polygon: natural=fossil_track or "ichnite" if it should sound
scientific

On a way: natural=fossil_trackway or protichnites (a trace / sequencs of
tracks)

you could then add another tag to specify the kind of beeing that has left
the footprint,
e.g. with "ichnotaxon"/ichnospecie/ichnogenus or something understandable.

all tagging questions are welcome, but you could have also asked on
osm-paleontology-talk, if you had created it before ;-)

Cheers,
Martin
