GLEN ROSE, Texas (KWTX) - Summer drought conditions across Texas have dried up sections of the Paluxy River, uncovering ancient dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Paleontologist Glen Kuban has spent years documenting tracks along the river.
He said the prints date back roughly 112 million years to when dinosaurs roamed and fed in a large, shallow body of water."Most of these three toed tracks are probably made by Acrocanthosaurus," Kuban said.
