Tafilalt is the oasis in southeastern Morocco.  Er Rachidia is the 
capital.  Sorry, don't know the exact locale -- possibly it's a 
former L.E. outpost -- you might want to check with them!

It's in Khulsan, which is in the Eastern portion of the Negemt basin. 
I'm sure there's a map in Dinosaurs of the Flaming Cliffs (don't have 
my copy handy).

Sorry.  Never heard of it.  I know there's a Kysyl in Siberia, 
however.

Siamotyrannus was found in Phu Wiang Park in the Khon Kaen province 
of Isan, the traditional name for the tribes living in what is 
now Thailand's northeast area.  It's a big region but can basically 
be described as an arid plateau with rolling hills.  Arid, yes, but 
the great Mekong also banks upon the north border of Thailand.

The Southern-most part of South America, comprising southern 
Chile and southern Argentina, including Tierra de Fuego.  Cold steppe 
and the spurs of the Andes: mostly untouched (for now) by man. 
Penguins.
