Dinosaur tracks dating back 113 million years have been revealed in Dinosaur Valley State Park, Texas, after a severe drought caused a river bottom to dry up. The tracks, which are typically submerged, are now visible to visitors. Two different dinosaur species' tracks were found, including those of an Acrocanthosaurus and possibly a Sauroposeidon. Researchers and volunteers will map and cast the tracks for future interpretive purposes.
