guy Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Recent droughts have resulted in many fortuitous discoveries. (See posts below.) A severe drought in Texas has revealed dinosaur tracks 113 million yeas old: Quote Prints mostly left by the Acrocanthosaurus — a theropod that stood 15 feet, weighed 7 tons and roamed the area 113 million years ago — have emerged in recent weeks as the Paluxy River has dried up almost entirely in most parts of Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, a spokeswoman with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said in an email. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/drought-reveals-new-dinosaur-tracks-texas-rcna44533 Edited August 27, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novosedoff Posted August 28, 2022 Report Share Posted August 28, 2022 Such findings are not new. Here is an article (with some photos) about the famous plateau of dinosaurs in Turkmenistan, Khodzhapil (a highly unreachable area at high altitude): https://tomkad.livejournal.com/178225.html The footprints on the photos are said to belong to Megalosaurus, and the area was once covered with a swamp Some landscapes in Turkmenistan do look pre-historic. I once lived not far from the below place with dead volcanoes amid shallow lakes, which attract pink flamingos in the sping time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
