Well,...I`m no expert on that Late Cretaceous stuff, but,...if Albertosaurus
sarcaphogus is Late Campanian-Maastrichtian, then possible candidates (as
gleaned from Wellnofer`s excellant book on Pterosaurs) would have to be
:Nyctosaurus and possibly Pteranodon, if this T-Rex hung out in Kansas. Also
a possibility is with Quetzalcoatlus in a Texas-New Mexico setting.
 Hmmm.....I wonder if Nyctosaurus (or Pteranodon for that matter) was able
to outmanoeuver and harass the larger Quetzl, and keep him out of Kansas???
