Are the dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park real?
Are the dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park real? The mud recorded their tracks; successive layers of silt covered and petrified them, carrying them down through the millennia to the modern day. The resulting trackways have been a fixture of Texas paleontology for over a century, and the centerpiece of Dinosaur Valley State Park.
Why is it called Dinosaur Valley State Park?
The National Park Service has designated this park as a National Natural Landmark because of the outstanding display of dinosaur tracks. You can't miss the models of an Apatosaurus (70 feet) and Tyrannosaurus rex (45 feet) near headquarters. The fiberglass models were on display at the 1964-65 New York's World's Fair.
