@primalshadows: A vanished river has revealed a window into the age of dinosaurs. In Texas’s Dinosaur Valley State Park, falling water levels exposed ancient footprints in the bed of the Paluxy River, near Glen Rose. The tracks date to the Early Cretaceous, roughly 113 million years ago, when this region was a muddy coastal plain frequented by enormous plant-eating sauropods and meat-eating theropods. Some impressions form trackways, allowing researchers to study how these animals moved across the landscape. The footprints were never newly made; they had been buried and preserved in sediment, waiting for erosion and drought to reveal them again.
