What plants, besides cypress and horsetails, would have lived in Hell Creek's swamps?

Thanks.

Also was duckweed or a similar plant around at that time?

Been doing some research on that a while ago, and indeed there were plants comparable to duckweed. A group of ferns called Salviniales have many forms that fill the same ecologic niche as duckweed, and they can be traced back to the early cretaceous.

I'm annoyed because I found a website for Hell Creek's flora a while back, but the site's been shut down all month for some reason.

Wikipedia gives Limnobiophyllum as a duckweed relative, so that's something.

Do you still have the address? Maybe try checking the Web Archive to see if you can retrieve anything.

Huh, I forgot about web archive.

Good news is that it works:

Do we have any Ornithomimid nest, or any idea how many eggs they could lay ?

how would a quetzalcoatlus take off from say a flat strip of land?

Quad-Launching. Just like how it would take off from everywhere else.

For the Diplodocus:
The hands look decent enough. The toes on the hind feed need to splay outwards more, rather than point forward. This may help you (the left set specifically. The right is Brachiosaurus):

For Triceratops:
The two outer fingers look a bit flat. They aren't a pair of flaps that just hang down from the wrist. They're still actual fingers which may or may not have touched the ground. Maybe this'll help here:
