It is all about the money these days. The CGI quality has gone down ever since the original WWD. |

I wouldn't say that I'd say if anything CGI quality in general has only improved |

As I said though, the ecosystem of Maastrichtian Hell Creek existed for a good 2-3 million years. They don't HAVE to have a "rocks fall, everyone dies" ending for every dinosaur story that takes place in Hell Creek. |

i have trouble thinking of a Documentary that involves Tyrannosaurus and other Hell Creek residents not being killed by a rock. |

It's like they think Hell Creek existed only so it could be destroyed a short time later. |

I do seem to recall a few that didn't end in the asteroid but the names of them don't come to mind |

At least DR and Dinotasia had the decency to start their Hell Creek sequences a decade or so prior to the asteroid impact, as opposed to the usual 6 or 7 days. |

Aren't those the same thing, just different narration? |

DR also had sequences with species that never made it into Dinotasia but Dinotasia had a more interesting and seamless flow through for the segments it did include |

Pheraps Hell Creek gets chosen because the formations also includes the very beginning of the Cenozoic, thus we can directly see the effects of the Asteroid impact. I don't know how many well known formations with the same time laps have been found ... But of course, Rexy was there ... Edited by Furka, Jul 2 2014, 08:29 AM.

My dinodoom is meant to be an aversion of course, but I am currently working on a martian biosphere film, I will need some voice actors for it, anyway this has turned up in pop culture so many times that even tv tropes has noted it. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCretaceousIsAlwaysDoomed |

When I was looking for pictures of Parasaurolophus crests, I crossed over this : WARNING!! WEAR GEAR OR ELSE YOUR EYE BALLS WILL MELT!!

I've seen that one before. I'm pretty sure it was from some s**tty creationist dinosaur book. Can't remember whether I used to own the book, or just saw it somewhere. It speculated something about Parasaurolophus's crest possibly housing reactive chemicals like those of the bombadier beetle, and as a result we ended up with this pitiful drawing to illustrate the laughable hypothesis.
