this
summer and a growing drought pushed water levels down, a group of
volunteers uncovered something sort of magnificent: new giant dinosaur
tracks that are believed to be from around 110 million years ago.

Paul Baker, the retail manager at Dinosaur Valley State Park, told CNN he
has “never seen this many dinosaur tracks” before.

“It’s exciting to see something that nobody else has seen; it’s almost like
a treasure hunt, in a way,” said Baker, who helps clean up and map dinosaur
tracks at the park. “I thought I’d seen every dinosaur track there is, but
within the last two years with the droughts we’ve had and the hard work by
our volunteers, it’s just an amazing sight.”
