I suppose there's this:

But the dude who makes these kinds of skeletals is extremely fond of shrink wrapping his silhouettes. Keep that in mind if yer using it for any restorations.

Are there any other Tyrannosaurs living in the same time to Nanuqsaurus but in more southern area. I am thinking about Albertosaurus but not entirely sure.

Albertosaurus itself did, yeah.

Nanuq and Albert are both from the early-mid Maastrichtian IIRC, so yeah, what he said. ;)

How did Climactichnites maker look like? Was it more like a nudibranch, Odontogriphus, or modern slug, or something different?

The Eyes that follow you in the Alolan forests

It has been interpreted in many different ways in the past, but is now known to be a trace fossil of a slug-like organism, thought to have moved by crawling to on-shore surfaces, or near-shore, or burrowing into the sediment.
Probably unlike living slugs and nudibraches

There is a paper saying it isn't a mollusk because of the way of locomotion - the reason why it was hypothesised a mollusk in the first place, but considering that it's cited on Wikipedia page and yet the Wikipedia page still goes for a slug hypothesis, has there been any new research refuting this paper?

Is there a confirmed list for prehistoric animals from the Aguja and Javelina formations?

Do we know anything about Iguanodontids growth speed ? Was it similar to that of hadrosaurs ?

I've not done any proper reading on the matter but I doubt they'd have much differences among species of similar sizes.

Why was Parapuzosia so huge?

Probably to scare predators and make it able to tackle a small mosasaur like platecarpus

I don't think an ammonite would tackle a mosasaur outside of a sci-fi film. Why would it even need to do that?

A platecarpus would eat a ammonite
