Does anyone think it's possible that an adult and healthy Stokeosaurus will take down an adult Camptosaurus? The latter just surpasses in range only a few metres (but might surpasses a lot in weight).

I think a healthy Campto would be out of it's range of preys, due to size, strength and speed.

Well, Camptosaurus is actually not a fast runner. I don't think Stokeso would have problem catch up with it... But the strength and size are the other things.

What would've been the most defended dinosaur ?

I don't think there is a "most defended" dinosaur. All dinosaurs had their own defences, none of which was necessarily superior to another.

But then again... Saichania XD

If you meant "most armoured", Saichania's probably the one to go for

If you meant armored, Saichania is really well armored. If you meant immune to predation, any giant sauropod will work.

Did Titanis coexist with Smilodon?

I think it did, but with the smaller, more ancient S. gracilis species.

What kind of foliage could be found in the environment of Spinosaurus (other than mangroves) and the Chinle Formation ?

In the Chinle Formation there were conifers, horsetails, ferns, seed ferns, cycads, ginkgoes, and bennettitales. For exact species here is the link- http://nmgs.nmt.edu/publications/guidebooks/downloads/40/40_p0225_p0230.pdf.

Did Hesperosaurus co-exist with Stegosaurus? I think Hespero is a little older than Stego, however I'm not very sure about this....

I think they both coexisted.

Of the three species of Darwinopterus (D. modularis, D. linglongtaensis and D. robustodens) which was the one thought to be a carnivore ?
I don't think it was D. modularis given the appereance of its teeth (long and needle like), but I'm not sure about the other two.

D. modularis was the one suggested to be a raptorial animal. Sadly, this is unlikely because Darwinopterus lacks any adaptations for hunting large prey; it would be like arguing that a pigeon is a hawk-like predator.

Regardless, as Mark Witton put it, current wukongopterid phylogeny is a mess. The other Darwinopterus species may very well be different growth stages for all we know.
