A severe drought in Texas has led to the discovery of a series of dinosaur tracks that were left behind around 113 million years ago. The sizeable markings were reportedly found last week in a dried out riverbed in Dinosaur Valley State Park, which is renowned for the number of prehistoric prints that can be found at the location. Officials at the site say that the creature responsible for the three-toed tracks was an Acrocanthosaurus, a Tyrannosaurus Rex relative that would have stood approximately 15 feet tall and weighed a whopping seven tons.
