Texas Drought Reveals Dinosaur Tracks In Dried Up Riverbed



Prints mostly left by the Acrocanthosaurus — a theropod that stood 15 feet, weighed 7 tons and roamed the area 113 million years ago — have emerged in recent weeks as the Paluxy River has dried up almost entirely in most parts of Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas.

  1. This is beyond cool!

  2. Global warming disproving the "earth is 6000 years old" christian theory. How ironic and in texas too.

  3. On his way to the ark no doubt 😐

  4. There were no dinosaurs, they are made up to make it seem like the earth is millions of years old. It ain’t

  5. The masses are easily fooled

  6. If it was once an active riverbed how are the footprints not eroded after 113 million years

  7. Wow amazing to think it can be that old when the earth and universe is only 6000 something years old 🤯

  8. I'm calling BS on this. Water erodes everything, even rocks into round smooth pebbles, to say these have been left over from 100+ million years ago is crap.
    Next you'll have us believe cowboys were riding T-Rex..

  9. How haven’t they been eroded ??

  10. Its in Dinosaur Valley State Park. You made it sound like it was something new

  11. Those are Bigfoot tracks! Geez

  12. It’s a wonder prints survived under water currents ebbing erosion etc

  13. Those aren’t dinosaur tracks, those are Dragon claws 🐉🐉 TDF!

  14. So sad that the rivers are drying up.

  15. Let's walk over them.

  16. I can’t believe everyone actually fell for this hoax 😂 good one

  17. My mother in law used to swim there. Those are her tracks 🤪

  18. What they aren't mentioning is the fact that there are a man's s Footprints in the same strata near those dinosaur footprints.

  19. Remember… this was around the time Pangia had started separating. What we call Texas today was on the other side of the world with completely different climate (most likely).

  20. My shoes left this!

  21. And all we'll leave behind is plastic, waste and destruction 🤷

  22. Was wondering how they stayed preserved. From a Smithsonian article “All the park’s dinosaur tracks are preserved in limestone, which protects them to some degree, park spokesperson Stephanie Garcia tells the Times. When covered by silt and sediment, the prints are protected, but eventually, officials expect weathering and erosion will destroy them. “

  23. Well I have found moose tracks in my ice cream before, so this is not too surprising

  24. So my professor once said, we only found stuff 5,000years back 🧐🤓

  25. I hope they find all kinds when lake mead finally dries up!

  26. Great, so now we know that river has been that dry before. Screw global warming. Mystery solved. The water will be back, just give it a cycle.

  27. Just imagine how much erosion happened in that river bed over thousands or even millions of years!!! There is no way u can find tracks on the surface! FAKE

  28. If there ever was a sign to get our s**t together, this would be it.

  29. Haha… cause water erosion wouldn’t wash away foot prints. 🤣😂

  30. Is this real? I mean it’s just so hard to believe…

  31. How people still believe these are millions of years old like were told 100 years ago, I will never understand. We have all been fooled… 🤷🏻‍♂️

  32. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.
    So you must be careful to do everything they tell you.
    But do not do what they do,
    for they do not practice what they preach.

    They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders,
    but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see:
    They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long;
    they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
    they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant.
    For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
    and those who humble themselves will be exalted".

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them, or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents, up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
    And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.

    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  33. So if dinosaurs were here millions of years ago how is it that the river's bottom is exactly the same after all that time? Wouldn't that water after millions of years erode the river's bottom just like water changes the rock formation of mountains? That's a lot of time right? Millions upon millions of years this earth has been here, yet all of the sudden were experiencing 'earth ending' Climate Change in just a matter of 50 to 100 years?

  34. seems like an interesting hoax

  35. Not dinosaur tracks lol. Dinosaurs never existed. However, giant people and animals did exist but not billions of years ago.

  36. They are coming back. Satan's foot prints
