Description
Dinosaurs walked this creek more than 95 million years ago and their tracks are still in the rock. Paleo Ridge Ranch is approximately 193 acres in Hill County, and the land stands on its own: hardwood cover and open ground, 80 feet of elevation change, limestone bluffs over 6,500 feet of rock-bottom creek with a natural waterfall, and high ground to build a home that looks over all of it. Deer, turkey, dove and hog under a wildlife exemption, with new custom stands, feeders and cameras in place. A furnished 1,000 square foot two bedroom cabin, new RV awning with electric hookups, barn and equipment awning, ready the day you close. Water from a well, two stock tanks held at constant level, and six utility water meters, rare utility water access with development potential. All minerals owned by the seller convey. Then there is the creek. It cuts through the Woodbine Formation, and that matters: most Texas dinosaur tracks sit in the older Glen Rose limestone around Glen Rose, while track sites in the Woodbine are rare, with only a handful known in the state. The main creek bed here holds a GPS-mapped dinosaur trackway with more than 50 documented features, including a striding sequence of three-toed tracks and a 28 inch print, reviewed by multiple paleontologists, with more tracks at the waterfall and a second trackway site under evaluation. The same creek has produced teeth from five or more shark species including the Ginsu shark, a large limb bone identified as dinosaur or sea turtle, a turtle shell still set in the rock, fish teeth, ammonites and arrowheads, and each season's water exposes more. Rope and signage mark the sites, and there is a lifetime of weekends of exploring left to do. Many of the fossils collected convey, along with three sifting tables, the 2026 GPS survey, LiDAR terrain maps, the field survey report and the expert correspondence. Abbott 7 miles, West 12, Hillsboro 15, Waco 30, Fort Worth and Dallas about 75, Austin 130.
