Grallator tracks - how to find out if real?

This is a random Grallator footprint I found in Ebay, probably real I dont know. I have been looking for a similar track for a while now and I always wondered two things:

  1. They seem so easy to fake using tracks, some birds make very similar tracks too, for example the Darwin's rhea or the lesser rhea.

  2. I wonder how you can tell appart a real from a fake one, the print itsself is often covered by wax to make it stand out, thats fine, but then I need to find out genuity based on the surounding matrix. Could such matrix be easily faked aswell?

Would be awesome to have one, but I dont know enough about it. Anyone has a better idea?
