Subject: Hell Creek
I intend to do a story about the fauna of the Hell Creek Formation, just
before the K-T extinction, and I've got a few questions:
Is this correct?
By the way, I have no idea what animals inhabited the Western Interior
Seaway at this time. Was big ol' mean Tylosaurus still making life hell for
Clidastes, Platecarpus & Elasmosaurus? Were Hesperornis & Ichthyornis still
around? What about Archelon? I guess Pteranodon had died out by then, but
were there any other pterosaurs besides Quetzalcoatlus? Also, was
Deinosuchus still around then? (Would be quite cool to have a real clash of
the titans; Deinosuchus vs. Tyrannosaurus)<<
Deinosuchus is a marine alligatoroid (see Chris I didn't say Allgatorid). So
if Tyrannosaurus was walking along a beach or lagoon...
