Well I'm in my 70s now and back when I was about 9 or 10 my dad knew the man who used to own the land BEFORE it was a park. He let us kids go play in the creek where the dinosaur tracks were! It was amazing! But it wasn't just dinosaur tracks, there were people tracks. Following the dinosaur tracks. I remember because we stepped in them. There wasn't much water, just enough to flow around in some places so I wondered why it was called "Paluxey River". Years later I was in the USN during Vietnam. The museum in the city where I was stationed was having an exhibit of dinosaur tracks! They had cut out many of the dinosaur tracks and sold them or gave them to museums. I thought that was kind of a sad thing, to cut them out but I discovered it wasn't the first time, they had cut out many in decades before! So I don't know if the ones I was seeing in the museum were the ones my sisters and brothers and I got to walk in. It was just one track and then an "exhibit" of what the tracks looked like. Wouldn't that have been batter to leave everything the way it was originally instead of removing them? Kind of sad. Anyway, it was an incredible experience, thanks Dad!

Did you know my grandpa Alton Matthews? He was the kid who discovered those tracks you are talking about!

I've been there back in the day and seen the human tracks crossing the dino prints. Very scandalous at the time, no wonder people destroyed it.

[@dgc940]

So why didnt they see these about 10-12 years ago when it was so dry all the lakes were 14-20ft low?

Well, they evidently gave the park an appropriate name.

[@EwanCumia]

What species made these tracks? How many millions of years ago? Why can't the news report this?

[@johnyaxon__]

How could they know?

[@PrimalAcro321]

Prolly acrocanthosaurus

[@todmiddleton3638]

Around the 1:16 mark she said, "One species with 5 toes". Mam, that is called a human foot print alongside a dinosaur track. Why not just say it? I guess it goes against the narrative.
