Since Prince Creek has different Pachyrhinosaurus and Edmontosaurus species than Horseshoe Canyon IIRC, I wouldn't count on that.

I'd imagine it had very South-UK like temperatures. Very rarely it'd be cold enough for legit snow, but winter may have seen frost.

Also, Prince Creek kinda covers quite a substantial time span of the end-Cretaceous. But most of the known dinosaurs are from a time a little bit later than Horseshoe Canyon. Almost an ideal "transitional" phase between Horseshoe Canyon and Hell Creek if it were actually in southern Alberta.

Even the smaller species has been reclassified as Diplodocus IIRC.
the reverse would likely happen as amphicoelias was discovered first

Might end up doing the same thing as Tyrannosaurus, due to Diplodocus being a somewhat familiar name.

Actually Tyrannosaurus was used because Manospondylus had not been used as a formal scientific name after 1899, not simply because Tyrannosaurus was the more popular name. If that was how nomenclature worked then Brontosaurus should still be with us.

That's a rather subjective question that no one can really answer. There are certainly a crapload of odd-looking dinosaurs out there.

Late Cretaceous Maastrichtian from what I've seen.

I know during that time, but when during the Maastrichtian? It covered several million years.

I think it lived right up near the end, didn't it?

like 75-66, though that might just be the Genus and not just S. sedens

Yeah, that was just the genus as a whole. There's also the Campanian type species S. altus.
