GLEN ROSE — This small North Texas town is known for the preserved dinosaur tracks embedded in the limestone beds of the Paluxy River — evidence of prehistoric giants roaming the area over 100 million years ago.
Dinosaur Valley State Park, where about 230,000 visitors a year come to see the tracks, is the town’s economic engine. But residents are worried that it’s being threatened by a proposed high-voltage transmission line with massive towers that would partially encircle the 1,580-acre park southwest of Fort Worth.
