The Deadly Floods in the US State of Texas Last Month Have Uncovered 100 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Tracks. Volunteers Helping to Clear Debris Came Across Them.
A Team of Paleontologists from the University of Texas Were Able to Identify at Least Fifteen Individual Footprints. The Prints Are Between 45 and 50 Centimeters Long and Between 110 and 115 Million Years Old. “They were last by carnivorous dinosaurs similar to the acrocanthosaurus, a bipedal dinosaur 10 meters long,” Paleontologist Matthew Brown Told CNN .
Other dinosaur tracks were also found nearby. These May have come from a Large Herbivorous Dinosaur Called Paluxysaurus. That species live in what we now know as the state of texas.
Brown and his team visited the places where the tracks were discovered. “We expect to return soon to examine the tracks more thoroughly,” he Told ABC News . Then the Paleontologists Can Discover, For Example, Whether the Dinosaurs Moved in a Group or Crossed Each Other’s Path Individually.
It is not uncommon for dinosaur tracks to be found in the central part of texas. “People of Don’t realize that they can be found in their own backyard,” Brown says. The State was hit by Deadly Floods in Early July, Killing More Than 130 People. Most people died in Kerr County.
