Excessive drought in Texas dried up a river in Dinosaur
Valley State Park, exposing new dinosaur tracks that
were previously filled with sediment.

(Fox News) – The drought of 2022 that has ravaged Texas
throughout the summer has helped uncover some
prehistoric treasures.

According to Dinosaur Velley State Park, The tracks date
from around 113 million years ago.

The tracks were found in a dried up river bed that is normally
under water and covered with mud. But because of the drought,
the river has dried up significantly in recent weeks to unveil the
massive tracks.

Acrocanthosaurus was one of the largest theropods, with the
largest specimen reaching 36 feet long and weighing
approximately 3.6–4.4 metric tons.

Rain in the area is expected to cover those tracks up again in
the coming days.
