Tracks of Their Tears?

Many parts of the US are experiencing an extreme drought. Dinosaur Valley State Park is located in NW Texas. People visit this park to see the footprints of these enormous extinct reptiles. The drought is now revealing even more traces in the park (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/aug/24/dinosaur-tracks-footprints-texas-drought-river). The Palluxy river, that flows through the Dinosaur Valley State Park, has almost completely dried up. The 113m year old tracks of Acrocanthosaurus have consequently been revealed on the dry river bed. One might suggest that it's a good time to remind humans of mortality and species extinction!
