Big News
In the nearly completely dried-up Paluxy River, dinosaur prints from the Acrocanthosaurus species were discovered. The state park acknowledged the existence of the 15-foot-tall, seven-ton beast in an email to NBC News more than 113 million years ago.
According to the park’s website, visitors can occasionally observe other dinosaur tracks at the state park depending on weather conditions. Acrocanthosaurus tracks had not been spotted since 2000 because they were covered by layers of water and debris.
