It’s not 100 million years old for starters.

The tracks were likely made in mud flats that were subsequently buried by more sediment.
The 100 million years is the duration of additional layers of sedimentation and then erosion to expose that layer again. |

I would think the geology would change enough that the creek beds would move. |

It wasn't a creek back then. It was probably lower lying area. Uplift and erosion.

Edit: perhaps the creek moving to where it is now exposed the tracks, as opposed to exposing the tracks in another location had it moved differently? Those are not the only tracks. Just the ones that have been exposed by the creeks current location. You didn't really think your question through before you asked it, did you? |

Maybe it was lava and if you follow the tracks long enough they turn into stump holes

I live 3 hours from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. I find fossilized shells, sand dollars , shark teeth and other sea critters from time to time.
Living along the Fall Line of an ancient sea is interesting, not only in fossils you find but the geography of the region. The Earth is older than alot of Christians want to believe. |

Just thinking about how many dinos lived and died between those two species would mean unbelievable amounts of dead and gone dinos BEFORE they were extinct. Then factor in each one living 10 years and imagine how many steps one would take in a lifetime. Then take that obscenely large number and compare it to the amount of tracks we've found preserved. It's a minuscule fraction of a minuscule fraction of preserved bones, steps, etc. |

The ridge on the southern edge of Wetumpka, Alabama is the rim of a meteorite impact crater. 85 million years ago, this event would have been one hell of a show if you'd been thirty miles north on the white sand beaches of the continent of Appalachia.
Thing change, yo. |

If it was a creek bed when they walked in it wouldn't the creek just have washed the tracks away?

At Glen Rose, the tracks are under the park itself. The river is slowly eroding the banks, revealing more tracks.
When my family was younger, we would climb down to the river with brooms and clean out the silt in the tracks every summer. The crowds loved it. We would wade around the bend of the river, cleaning as we went. I have a number of pictures from each expedition. They're on a laptop I have stored somewhere. I'll look for them. As a Christian, I often ponder the Creation details in Genesis ch 1 thru ch 2:10 and the "time" involved. But, I'm convinced the "time" elapsed in Ch 1 verses 1 and 2 could encompass millions and billions of years. |
