In short, Maastrichtian fossils have been unearthed in Antarctica reveling the presences of more mosasurs and plesiosaurs as well as a few new dinosaur samples

If it was late Maastritchian it would redeemable (would be really nice to know that kind of fauna and flora lived there at the very end). But early Maastritchain? Why all big boreal Dinosaur fossile sites are from the Late Campanain or the Early Maastritchian but not the Late Maastritchian. Did Chasmosaurine substitute Pachycephalosaurids in Alaska too, what kind of Tyrannosaurid live there, was it closer to T. rex or Tarbosaurus? Did any highly derived Hadrosaurine ever make it to Antartica?

That and other questions that might never be answered because no late Maastritchian fossil record either in Alaska or Antartica...
