Hi folks!
In Currie and Padian's _Encyclopedia of
Dinosaurs_, the article "Judith River Wedge" lists the fossil
vertebrate assemblage from the entire wedge. Does anyone here know what
creatures on the list have been found specifically in the Dinosaur Park
Formation? (In his "Theropod" article from Farlow and
Brett-Surman's _Complete Dinosaur_, Phil Currie mentions that there are 35
dinosaur species in this formation, 16 of which are theropods, if that
helps.)
Does anyone know where I can find a list of the
Dino Park Formation's megaflora?
Has any general consensus been reached on the diets of
therizinosaurs, ornithomimosaurs and caenagnathids?
Have any new vertebrates been found in the Dino
Park Formation since the publication of the _Encyclopedia_? (I am aware
that some of the species listed are no longer considered valid.) Have any
new plants been discovered since the publication of whatever reference you
recommend in answering the second question?
Thank you very much.
-Grant
