| On Wednesday May 3rd, 2017 Rita Manning and her daughter Meagan Trainham were in Walnut Creek looking for arrowheads when they found instead
a great new dinosaur trackway. On May 7th me and Art Sahlstein visually
surveyed the site with Rita. Art made some phone calls to the city and
his news contacts and the next day city officials and two news stations
visited the site. The track site contains at least 25+ tracks from a theropod dinosaur possibly "Acrocanthosaurus" and a few large Sauropod dinosaur tracks (not shown). The track site sits on a geologic "lense" (outlier) of Glen Rose Limestone that extends into the Paluxy Sandstone. May 7th, 2017: |
