113-million-year-old dinosaur tracks revealed by Texas drought in August 2022.
Water will cover the tracks again
Eventually, water will cover the tracks again, and they'll be filled with sediment that helps prevent them from eroding away. But before that happens, researchers are working on mapping the tracks and collecting data.
While the discovery of the tracks is exciting, it also presents an interesting juxtaposition, Harris said.
"There's some irony in the fact that dinosaurs, which were ultimately wiped out by very rapid climate change, now [the] evidence of their living animals was exposed because of human-made climate change today."
