Yes, this is a real photo of a supposedly 300 million-year-old wheel imprint found at a depth of about a kilometer in a coal mine in 2008, located in Donetsk, Rostov region, Russia.
While drilling into a coal layer called J3 'Sukhodolsky' at a depth of 900 meters (about 2953 feet) from the surface, workers were surprised to see what looked like a wheel imprint in the sandstone above them in the tunnel they had just dug.
Fortunately, the Deputy Chief, V.V. Kruzhilin, took photos of the strange imprint and shared them with the mine foreman, S. Kasatkin, who reported the discovery, though they couldn't explore the site further or closely inspect the imprint.
Without being able to clearly determine the age of the rock layers where the fossilized wheel print was found, it has been pointed out that the Rostov region near Donetsk sits on Carboniferous rock, which is between 360 and 300 million years old.
The coking coals in this area come from the middle to late Carboniferous period, which suggests the wheel imprint might be around 300 million years old. This would mean that a real wheel supposedly got stuck millions of years ago and eventually dissolved over time through a process called diagenesis, where sediments become solid rock, much like fossils.
