All of those are relatively accurate AFAIK, though it turns out Concavenator probably did have quills on its arms after all.

Oh really? When did this get surfaced?

Let me guess, they were different on structure to those in velociraptor?

Probably somewhat more primitive, but same basic idea.

Any species besides Eremotherium, Glyptodon, and Smilodon from late Pleistocene Florida?

Also what good formations from the late Pleistocene in North America are there not counting the La Brea Tar Pits?

Note that "quill nobs" means "some early feather or feather like thing but still advanced enough to have a shaft" and not actually quills, which by definition need to be hollow.

AFAIK Pleistocene Florida also had modern jaguar, crowned crane, and puma.

Don't forget Mastodons, Mammoths, Dire Wolves, Sloths, Short Faced Bears, Lions, Camels and Tapirs. Pleistocene Florida was filled to the brim with animals

There was also Montana, The Grand Canyon, and the South West including Arizona and New Mexico.

Not to mention Idaho which is known from dozen's of Haggerman's Horses

Theres also a few other fossils site around the Great Lakes like in Illinois and Michigan. Out east dozens of Mastodon fossils have been found. As for specific names I can't really give you much

Yah tho it was there in the early not late Pleistocene.

Also thanks SGD, Bossman, Jake, and Anas for helping answering my questions.

Actually I think the Florida Titanis specimens (at least a few) dated to be around 20,000 years old

Pretty sure those were incorrectly dated IIRC.

Some where a while ago I heard someone reference a Hell Creek Therizinosaur, what material is known from this dinosaur if any?
