US Edition110-Million-Year-Old Carnivore Tracks Uncovered by Recent Texas Floods
Floodwaters stripped away vegetation to reveal 15 dinosaur footprints, each about 18 to 20 inches long, likely from a 35-foot Acrocanthosaurus, experts said.
- A volunteer discovered 15 large, three-clawed dinosaur footprints approximately 110 to 115 million years old in Travis County, Texas after recent floods.
- The tracks were left by meat-eating dinosaurs similar to Acrocanthosaurus, a roughly 35-foot-long bipedal carnivore, according to Matthew Brown, a paleontologist.
- Brown said his team expects to return to map and 3D image the tracks, ensuring heavy equipment does not damage them.
