The tracks – left by a single acrocanthosaurus – had not been seen for more than 20 years. Footage of the find at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose was shot by Paul Baker. He said, “Sweep away some of the dust and dirt, this is what you’ll find: dinosaur tracks.” The courses are usually under water, but a recent drought saw the Paluxy River’s level drop significantly. Experts have seized the opportunity to map and track the dinosaurs’ path before the river fills up again.
