New dinosaur tracks were discovered in Glen Rose after the severe drought brought the Paluxy River to historic lows.
"The river was bone-dry for the first time in many years," said Glen Kuban, who lives in Ohio but has been working on the tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park for more than 40 years."This trail here is almost never dry. There's always big pools of mud and water."The recently uncovered tracks at the park date back 113 million years, and the majority of them belong to two species: a theropod called Acrocanthosaurus and a sauropod called Sauroposeidon.
The creature looked like Tyrannosaurus Rex, weighed about seven or eight tons, and once roamed this very area of Texas.CBSDFW.com About 40 to 50 volunteers with Texas Master Naturalists, the Dallas Paleontological Society, Friends of Dinosaur Valley, and other groups answered the call to help gently uncover the tracks.
"There's a chance we could get the whole thing cleaned up, this long trail," Kuban said."And it's special for several reason. It's perhaps the longest existing dinosaur trail in North America."
