And also Lance I think. But yeah, strictly late Maastrichtian in any case. |

Lance and Hell Creek were likely connected. They share most of their species. So do at least another half dozen formations along that strip of 'Murica.

Mawsonia comes to mind. Freshwater coelacanth the size of an Asian elephant, and probably heavier. |

It's probably the heaviest, but wasn't Onchopristis longer? |

Exactly what part of the head region did the Estemmenosuchus skin impressions come from? Does anyone have a picture of the fossil?

Here's some questions: 1. Would a really desperate Smilodon realistically encounter Sea Lions in the wild and try to hunt them? If so then could the Smilodon succeed in hunting the Sea Lions? 2. Could a Protoceratopsid or a Leptoceratopsid realistically have quills, something like Psittacosaurus? And if that is possible could they have the quills cover their body like a Porcupine's? Or would be boar-like bristles be more plausible? |

Depends on the Feather. I'm not exactly sure, Put earlier feathers would have mostly Dull, Earthy colours, the farther up in Feather evolution the wider the range can get. |

To be fair, structures that resulted in iridescence were already present in dromaeosaurids (Microraptor). And in terms of actual pigments, we're still only able to detect melanosomes. Carotenoids are still beyond our reach yet, and that's what causes most of the vivid colours in modern birds. |

For the first question, probably yes, considering that sea lions are slow and sluggish on land and the cat is good at wrestle down strong prey. I doubt Smilodon would miss a chance to get an easy meal. Still, I am not sure that both of them coexist in any places... Edited by Mathius Tyra, Apr 2 2015, 09:41 PM.

Well, Smilodon is one of the many species found in the La Brea tar pits. Keep in mind that Los Angeles is right along the coast of the Pacific Ocean.

Well I know that LA is right by the Pacific Coast but I don't know if Smilodon will go onto the beach to find food.
