Dinosaur tracks found in Arkansas

Yesterday we read about a dinosaur fossil found in Bavaria, Germany.

But, guess what, for those of you who live in the US, you do not have to go to Bavaria to walk on the same ground where dinosaurs once walked.

What?

Yes. Seems that Dinosaur tracks have been found in Arkansas !

Alas, you can't walk on that specific piece of ground, however, since the finders of the tracks are keeping the location secret for now.

But, they, scientists at the University of Arkansas, do tell us that the tracks were found in south west Arkansas.

These dinosaur tracks supposedly date to 120 Million years ago.

You will recall that the dinosaur skeleton found in Bavaria and reported in yesterday's DIT was said to have died 135 million years ago.

Interesting how they come up with these numbers.

Sigh.

Anyway, to read about the discovery of dinosaur tracks in Arkansas, HERE'S THE LINK.
