Extreme drought has exposed 113-million-year-old dinosaur tracks in a riverbed in central Texas.

The massive footprints, which belonged to a single young acrocanthosaur, had not been seen since 2000, having been covered by water and several layers of sediment.

The tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas are some of the best preserved in the world, said park superintendent Jeff Davis.

Almost all of Texas is facing a drought according to the US Drought Monitor.

Extremely dry and hot summer conditions caused a river in a central Texas park to dry up almost entirely, revealing dinosaur tracks.
