Somervell County, where the park sits, was experiencing “exceptional” drought — the most severe classification. In a silver lining of sorts, most of the park’s main riverbed dried out, bringing at least 45 never-before-seen tracks to light.
It was just over 100 years ago that the river, one of the fastest-flowing rivers in the state, began to peel those layers away, exposing tracks through erosion, Kuban said. An Acrocanthosaurus was a kind of theropod, a three-toed dinosaur that stood at about 15 feet tall and weighed up to seven tons. Two long gashes not in line with any other tracks could be two claw marks, where a dinosaur was floating in the water and reached down for something to eat.At one point, one set of tracks ends abruptly before another, and Kuban thinks it’s the moment one dinosaur ate another, frozen in time.Dinosaur tracks “are quite a bit more common” than dinosaur bones, Kuban said, though much of the early research done by paleontologists focused on bones.
