Large dinosaur tracks discovered in dried-up Texas river

They say everything is bigger in Texas and that includes dinosaur tracks. More than 113 million years ago, pre-historic dinosaurs roamed what is now the Glen Rose area in Texas and managed to leave fossilized tracks hidden beneath the Paluxy River. They were recently re-discovered by workers of the Dinosaur Valley State Park, as shown in videos and images posted to their Facebook page. “The Paluxy River has pretty much gone dry this drought,“ said one park worker in a Facebook video post shared on Aug. 17. “What’s cool about the river is what you’ll find in the river. Sweep a little bit of the dirt and dust away and this is what you’ll find... dinosaur tracks.“ In the video, the worker points out how many tracks have three large claw marks, commonly belonging to the theropod dinosaur class, he said. This was confirmed in a 2012 study, which also said the river holds tracks from the sauropod class, too.
