Drought conditions have revealed well-preserved dinosaur tracks at a state park in Texas.
An ongoing drought has revealed about 70 dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas.
Experts think that the tracks, found in what is known as the state park's Ball Room site, belonged to two different species of dinosaurs. The three-toed tracks were likely from the giant carnivore Acrocanthosaurus, while the"elephant-looking" footprints were stomped into the ground by a massive long-necked Sauroposeidon.
Officials from the Friends of Dinosaur Valley State Park, a nonprofit organization that supports the park, first spotted the tracks on Friday and announced that the prints were"the most tracks we have ever seen at this location," according to a Facebook post.
