It has been millions of years since dinosaurs walked the earth, yet new information about their existence is still being discovered. The most recent case came right here in Texas, where massive dinosaur tracks were discovered in a dried up river. While the summer drought was hard on many Texans, it led to this never before seen discovery in the Paluxy River.
The Paluxy River, located at Texas’ Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, has shrunk significantly in recent weeks, and while many were worried about the lack of water, it also unveiled some never before seen information for the area. Normally covered by mud and water, staff at the park recently spotted massive dinosaur tracks that have been molded into the ground. While they are not the only tracks in the area, it is the first time these particular prints have been found.
“Right now, due to the very low river conditions, more tracks are now visible than under normal conditions,” the park said in a social media post. According to Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the tracks either belonged to a sauropod or a theropod. With rain coming, it may be time for dinosaur enthusiasts to visit the park before the tracks are gone.
