Remember when the entire state of Texas was in a gigantic drought? We know after the last few days it's hard to think we were experiencing one of the hottest and driest summers on record, but we were, and believe it or not that drought actually had some pretty cool effects.
Because of the drought, dinosaur tracks thought to be around 113 million-years-old were actually unveiled at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose!
The tracks were left in a dried up river.
Park spokesperson Stephanie Salinas Garcia told CNN in an email, "Most tracks that have recently been uncovered and discovered at different parts of the river in the park belong to Acrocanthosaurus. This was a dinosaur that would stand, as an adult, about 15 feet tall and (weigh) close to seven tons."
Garcia added that the tracks of a Sauroposeidon, which would have been about 60 feet tall and weigh about 44 tons as an adult, were also revealed in the park.
Garcia explained that under normal weather conditions, the dinosaur tracks found in the riverbed are under the water and filled with sediment, which makes them less visible.
She added, "Being able to find these discoveries and experience new dinosaur tracks is always an exciting time at the park!"
