NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported that several fossilized dinosaur tracks buried for millions of years have been discovered along the shore of Lake Grapevine, unearthed by the heavy rainfall and high lake levels this past spring.

Many of the tracks are from the Protohadros, a duck-billed plant eater which roamed North Texas some 95 million years ago.

“You note the large indentions, the main forefinger, the fore-toe and the two sides there, kind of that typical three-toed stance,” said James Murphy, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, describing one of the dinosaur tracks.

Similar dinosaur tracks were last discovered at Lake Grapevine eight years ago, during a drought which significantly lowered the lake level.

“These are the same type that we saw back in 2007, and these just emerged the other day,” Murphy said.

Other dinosaur tracks are from Therapods, which hunted for food along the ancient riverbed or inland sea.

The Corps agreed to show NBC 5 the newly discovered tracks only on the condition that their exact location not be revealed.

“This was the floor of the inland sea or the river dinosaurs actually walked through this layer and left their imprints,” said Murphy.
