According to reports, about 60% of the state of Texas recently experienced a megadrought so immense that it caused the Paluxy River (70 miles outside of Dallas) to completely dry up.
The driest period that the region experienced in over a thousand years subsequently led to the astonishing discovery of a trail of enormous footsteps that once belonged to a dinosaur called the Acrocanthosaurus. These large apex predators once stood at the top of the food chain, alongside their distant cousin, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Fossilized footprints belonging to a Sauroposeidon were also uncovered at the same location. Ironically enough, this finding occurred within the confines of a place called Dinosaur Valley State Park. Upon a thorough study of the tracks, paleontologists indicated that the footprints recently discovered are about 113 million years old. About 140 tracks were found, making the newly discovered trail among the largest to have ever been recorded, which is an impression that seemingly left the staff at the Dinosaur Valley State Park awestruck.
