URGENT UPDATE: A devastating flood in central Texas has led to a stunning discovery: ancient dinosaur tracks dating back 110 to 115 million years. This remarkable find was uncovered by a volunteer assisting residents near Austin after the floods cleared debris that had hidden the tracks.
Experts from the University of Texas at Austin have confirmed the tracks are authentic and likely made by the Acrocanthosaurus, a carnivorous dinosaur. While the tracks are distinct, some observers may mistake them for those of a T. rex. The recent floods, which tragically resulted in loss of life, have inadvertently revealed this fascinating glimpse into the prehistoric past.
The volunteer discovered the tracks while helping others in the affected area, highlighting a human connection to this extraordinary event. As the floodwaters recede, more details about these ancient markings are expected to emerge, providing scientists and enthusiasts unique insights into dinosaur behavior and environment.
This extraordinary discovery is stirring excitement among paleontologists and the general public alike, showcasing how nature can unveil history even amid tragedy. Authorities are urging local residents to report any further findings as the cleanup continues.
