Global News published this video item, entitled “Dinosaur tracks from 113 millions years ago discovered after severe drought in Texas” – below is their description.

In a thrilling new paleontological find, new dinosaur prints from 113 million years ago have been revealed in Texas as a result of severe drought conditions.

Over 60 tracks within a single trail were exposed in Dinosaur Valley State Park as widespread drought caused water in the Paluxy River to dry up completely in certain areas of the park, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department spokesperson said.

The incredibly well-preserved trail of dinosaur steps, claw marks intact, is believed to belong to the Acrocanthosaurus. The carnivorous dinosaur was a three-toed theropod that grew up to 11.5 metres in length.
