Comment: If the tracks were made 100 million years ago, its highly unlikely that there was a city nearby at that time. Dan arndt (talk) 05:30, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

The Leander dinosaur tracks are a collection of three-toed dinosaur footprints located in the San Gabriel riverbed. The tracks were made near the city of Leander, Texas, a suburb of Austin. Scientists believe the footprints likely belonged to the acrocanthosaurus, a large, carnivorous dinosaur that lived in North America more than 100 million years ago.^[1] Its footprints were imprinted in limestone, and they are are visible now due to drought. ^[2] The tracks are a popular family attraction and are easily accessible by a short hike. The site is on public land, but it is not an established park.^[3]
