"The Footprints of the Creator: Or, The Asterolepis of Stromness" is a geological work written by Hugh Miller and published in 1849. The book explores the geological history of the Orkney Islands, particularly focusing on the fossilized remains of the Asterolepis of Stromness, an ancient fish species found in the region. Miller discusses the geological formations of the area, including the Old Red Sandstone, and provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of the Asterolepis fossils.

Miller's work was significant in the field of geology as it contributed to the understanding of ancient fish species and the geological history of Scotland. His writing style combined scientific observations with religious and philosophical reflections, often seeking to reconcile geological discoveries with religious beliefs.

"The Footprints of the Creator: Or, The Asterolepis of Stromness" remains an important contribution to the study of paleontology and geology, reflecting the scientific and intellectual landscape of the mid-19th century.
