The water of the river dried up, the footprints of dinosaurs appeared
Dinosaur Valley State Park is located in Texas, USA. Palaxi River flows through the garden. A large part of Palaxi has dried up in the summer heat. And as the water of the river dries up, the footprints of dinosaurs appear on the rocks of the river bed.
Experts say the footprints are at least 11.3 million years old. The prints are of
two types of dinosaurs. Names - Acrocanthosaurus and Saropsideon. Scientists estimate that Acrocanthosaurus was 15 feet tall and weighed at least 7,000 kilograms. Saropsidon was even larger, 60 feet in height. The weight was like 44000 kilograms.
According to park authorities, almost the entire 20-mile basin of the river has dried up due to extreme drought. So now the footprints are visible. But rain may come in a few days. When it rains, the prints will go under the water again. So many people are crowding in the park to see the footprints of dinosaurs ignoring the heat.
