Cretaceous angiosperms
I pressed the wrong computer key. To recapitulate: my use of "grasslands" (I am well aware "grass" did not exist during the Cretaceous) was a figure of speech, not an _expression_ of taxonomic categorization, i.e., the dromaeosaurs may have preferred savannah-like areas: foliage high enough to obscure their presence, but low enough for them (with heightened visual acuity) to locate meals. (This raises the interesting thought of whether sauropods lower limbs and stomaches had spots or stripes, or combinations of colouration, to obscure vulnerable body parts.)
