The ongoing drought has unearthed nearly 70 dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. According to Chron.com, the approximately 110 million-year-old footprints were hidden under the water and mud of the Peluxe River, which runs through the state park.
Experts think that the tracks found in the state park belong to two different dinosaur species. The crush marks probably belonged to the giant carnivore Acrocanthosaurus, and the elephant-like marks left on the ground were those of a huge, long-necked Sauroposeidon.
Acrocanthosaurus was one of North America’s largest predators in the early period (145-101 million years ago), measuring about 12 meters in length, but was eclipsed by the tall Sauroposeidon, according to the Natural History Museum in London: the length was about 30 meters and the weight was It was a huge figure, like 50 tons.
Officials at the non-profit organization Friends of Dinosaur Valley State Park, which maintains the park, first identified the tracks on August 25 and announced that it was the largest number of tracks they had ever seen in the area. Source
