Several US states have experienced record high temperatures in recent months.
In Texas, heat has caused a river in Dinosaur Valley State Park to dry up completely — exposing traces of a 113 million-year-old dinosaur.
– Most of the tracks that have been discovered and discovered recently in different parts of the river belong to Acrocanthosaurus. This was a dinosaur about 4.5 meters tall and seven tons as an adult, says the spokesperson Stephanie Salinas Garcia in the garden for CNN.
Another species that left a mark in the park was the Sauroposeidon, which was about 18 meters long and weighed 44 tons when it was an adult.
Garcia explains that dinosaur footprints found in the river are usually underwater and filled with sediment — making them less visible. However, the effects are expected to disappear as the water levels rise again.
Finding this and trying out new dinosaur tracks is always an exciting time in the park, says Garcia.
Sixty percent of Texas has experienced a severe drought in the past two weeks, and authorities in the United States have issued warnings to millions of people.
Also in other places of the USA, interesting discoveries were made in lakes and rivers. In Lake Mead, a lake outside Las Vegas, it is Several times the bodies were discovered. Among the previous finds was the body of a person placed in a rusty barrel.
The lake is located on the border between Nevada and Arizona. All the bodies sparked speculation that the mafia, which played a prominent role in Las Vegas, used the lake to dump the bodies. Police have not yet confirmed that they are working on this theory.
