Texas floods uncover 115-million-year-old dinosaur footprints
Source: X Floodwaters in the Texas Hill Country have uncovered a remarkable prehistoric discovery, rare dinosaur prints buried for more than a century beneath layers of soil and rock. According to CNN, a devastating flood in early July exposed 15 three-clawed footprints along a newly revealed creek bed in the Big Sandy Creek area of Travis County. A volunteer clearing debris reportedly spotted the tracks, which were later confirmed by experts to have been made by a large, meat-eating dinosaur. At the landowner's request, the exact location of the find, on private property, is being kept confidential. Matthew Brown, a paleontologist at the University of Texas at Austin, said the tracks likely belonged to an Acrocanthosaurus, a bipedal carnivore that measured about 35 feet in length. The footprints, which range from 18 to 20 inches long, are estimated to be between 110 and 115 million years old. They were preserved in limestone from the Glen Rose Formation, a rock layer frequently associated with Cretaceous-period fossils. Disaster and discovery in 'flash flood alley' Source: X The Sandy Creek area, part of a region known as 'Flash Flood Alley' for its vulnerability to sudden, intense flooding, was among the hardest-hit in the recent disaster. In early July, torrential rains swelled the usually dry creek to 20 feet, sweeping away homes, property, and lives. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Only Classless Women Wear these Over a Certain Age Learn More Undo Officials reported over 135 deaths in the Texas Hill Country, including at least 36 children at nearby Camp Mystic in Kerr County. Travis County recorded 10 deaths from the flooding. Despite the scale of the tragedy, the dinosaur tracks have sparked excitement among paleontologists and locals alike. County and state officials, under the guidance of scientists, are working to safeguard the site from damage by cleanup crews and heavy machinery. Preserving the past with 3D imaging Representative Image Brown and his team plan to return to the site soon to conduct detailed mapping and 3D imaging of the footprints. The volunteer who found them noted that the tracks formed a crisscross pattern, something researchers hope will help determine whether they were made by a single dinosaur or a group moving through the area. 'Dinosaur tracks are common in central Texas,' Brown said, adding that many people are surprised to learn they might find them 'in their own backyards.' Nearby finds have included prints from the Paluxysaurus, a large herbivorous sauropod and Texas' official state dinosaur. Travis County lies just under 200 miles south of Dinosaur Valley State Park, famous for its abundance of sauropod and theropod tracks left around 113 million years ago. The park attracts tourists year-round who, in normal conditions, explore the now-dry Paluxy River for swimming, fishing, and kayaking, and to catch a glimpse of the ancient footprints that connect Texas to its deep prehistoric past.

Three new antlion species identified in Western Ghats
1 2 3 Kochi: Kerala's insect biodiversity gained additions with the identification of three species of antlions from the tribe Palparini —Indopalpares pardus, Palpares contrarius and Stenares harpyia— recorded for the first time from this region of the Western Ghats. These insects prey on ants and in the adult stage. The lifespan of an adult, however, is restricted to just a month for reproduction before they perish, researchers said. The discovery by a research team from Shadpada Entomology Research Lab (SERL) of Christ College, Thrissur, has been published in the internationally noted Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics. The species have been widely reported in north Indian states like Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Odisha. "We have not reported so many different species of antlions in the state. The only popular one is the commonly seen 'Kuzhiyana'. As part of our study, we collected samples of these species from north and south Kerala districts," said Suryanarayanan T B, researcher and assistant professor at St Aloysius College. He said the discoveries shed light on the hidden diversity of Neuroptera in the Western Ghats and raise important questions about their ecological preferences. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 10 Best Mattresses by Consumer Reports (Here's What You May Not Want to Miss) QuestionHero Learn More Undo The presence of these typically dry-zone species in humid forest ecosystems suggests the need for deeper investigation into their habitat adaptability. The Indopalpares pardus, a widely distributed species previously reported from Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Odisha and other northern states, has now been recorded from Vazhayur in Malappuram district. Meanwhile, Palpares contrarius was found in several locations across Kerala, including Kattilapara and Rosemala (Kollam), Kolahalamedu (Idukki), Kuthuparamba (Kannur), Payamthondu (Kozhikode), Pudunagaram (Palakkad) and Thirunelly (Wayanad). Earlier records of this species are known from Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Mizoram. Stenares harpyia, earlier restricted to Tamil Nadu and Telangana, has now been discovered in Gavi (Pathanamthitta), Thirunelly (Wayanad) and Vallakkadavu (Idukki), extending its known range significantly into southern Western Ghats. "In the adult stage, these species of antlions look like dragonflies, so not many have linked them to ants. People have photographed them, but no one has studied them in depth and scientifically," said Bijoy C, head of SERL and assistant professor of Christ College. This reinforces the crucial role that academic institutions and local biodiversity surveys play in filling the gaps in India's faunal inventory, particularly for lesser-known insect groups like antlions, he added. Hungarian scientist Dr Levente Ábrahám was also part of the study. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

New York to Los Angeles in just 3 hours? Supersonic travel may be back sooner than you think, as early as 2027
The James Webb Space Telescope ( JWST ) has once again amazed scientists by capturing an image of a galaxy so distant that its light has traveled over 13 billion years to reach Earth. The newly identified galaxy is thought to date back to just a few hundred million years just after the Big Bang a period when the initial stars and galaxies were starting to take shape. For astronomers, this is more than a stunning picture; it's a rare opportunity to witness the early stages of the snapshots in time help to explain how cosmic structures evolved from simple clouds of gas into the rich, star filled systems we see today.

This technology is significant for spotting out galaxies at extreme distances, where light has been stretched or 'redshifted' by the expansion of the universe. By combining long observation times with precision optics, Webb can find out the details that are invisible to any other telescope in operation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Become Fluent in Any Language Talkpal AI Sign Up Undo Why This Discovery Matters Studying such old galaxies helps scientists to get to know how rapidly stars were formed, what elements were present, and how massive black holes grew up so fast in the early universe. Every new observation adds to the information of cosmic history and enables them to refine scientific models. What Comes Next? NASA and its international partners' plans to use Future Webb missions that will target even fainter and older galaxies, pushing the boundaries of what's observable. Scientists also look forward to studying the atmospheres of exoplanets, map distant galaxy clusters, investigate the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy as well. Live Events In just over a year, the James Webb Space Telescope has already transformed our knowledge of the cosmos. This recent find is proof that we now have the technology to go back to the universe's earliest moments and perhaps reveal secrets that have been hidden for over 13 billion years. FAQs: Q1. What is the James Webb Space Telescope? A1. The James Webb Space Telescope is a powerful infrared observatory made to study the universe's earliest moments and distant celestial objects. Q2. When was the James Webb Space Telescope launched? A2. It was launched on December 25, 2021, as a collaboration between NASA, ESA, and CSA.
