Floodwater in Texas has uncovered 15 dinosaur footprints dating to 115 million years ago, researchers say.
The prints were discovered in northwest Travis County by volunteers who were helping to clear up debris from the devastating floods that hit the region in July, Travis County judge Andy Brown, the county’s chief executive, told ABC News. The three-clawed prints — each measuring roughly 18 to 20 inches (46 to 51 centimeters) in length — were then confirmed by paleontologist Matthew Brown on Aug. 5.
