Dinosaur footprints found in dry riverbed in Texas, U.S.A

[Prehistory Resurrection]

Dinosaur footprints dating from 113 million years ago have been found in a dry riverbed in Texas, U.S.A. The drought in this South West region of the U.S.A has led to the unexpected discovery. The footprints are believed to have belonged to a bipedal carnivorous theropod dinosaur; Acrocanthosaurus, which stood 15-feet tall and weighed seven tons.

This is a cool find, but the fact that these tracks were exposed thanks to a historic drought tied to climate change gives me the same melancholy feeling as when melting glaciers expose arctic or antarctic fossils.
