Re: Speculative dino species

>>IMHO, we don't know anything about evolution of the vegetation without a K/T
mass extinction!
I tell this for those who wanna draw speculative dinosaurs in speculative
landscapes.
Without K/T mass extinction, did grasses appear? And what about evoluted
families like Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, or orchids?
And what about fungi?  Well, well.........................<<

I agree with Aspidel that the evolution of plants is _very_ important, here.
Perhaps, for simplicity, we should assume that botanical evolution in the
dinosaur world was the same as in the real world---that would certainly make
things easier.
