Today, Hell Creek is a dramatic enough landscape as it is without the prehistoric context - aerial photos of the formation will show a jagged landscape of huge rocks and cliffs jutting out into the sky, amidst sparse forests and fields underneath a wide open sky. It looks very different to the Hell Creek of sixty six million years earlier. There's a reason we're focusing on this location in prehistory specifically, though. The Hell Creek Formation is famous for containing the fossils of North America's very last dinosaurs, the ones that would have been alive to experience the cataclysmic mass extinction event that put an end to their entire kind. Some of the rocks are even young enough to topple over the Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary into the beginning of the Cenozoic era, the time when the world was dominated by the small mammals, reptiles and birds that survived the asteroid impact and the subsequent disasters.

I'm still waiting for someone to clear the mystery of Pachycephalosaurus's size is, as before 1994, it was depicted as a massive ornithopod that compared with the largest duckbills, and bigger than Tyrannosaurus. Suddenly the previously "man-sized" closely-related Stegoceras was now tiny, and Pachycehalosaurus was the one barely man-sized. Yet STILL in a glass case on display in London's Natural History Museum is it's massive head, a skull so large that no neck and shoulders of a man-sized creature could POSSIBLY heft it around. A 4 metre long dino with a head the equivalent of an Edmontosaurus size?! WTF?!

Couldn't the pachysaurus have used its head as an offensive tool against larger predators by attacking their legs or ankles? I imagine a direct hit from a flanking patchysaurus could have broken some bones or severely slowed down a large predator. Especially if they were herd animals The threat of flanking patchysaurus might have been a significant threat to predators which had limited side vision and more forward focused predatory field of vision.

There's tons of evidence to support both the T-Rex and the Velociraptor had feathers, though the T-Rex had feathers similar to elephant hairs, thick and fluffy when born, and spreading out as they grew up. It's even believed the arms of a T-Rex was covered in feathers, used for mating purposes and to appear more intimidating, similar to the ostriches we have today.

If Ankylosaurus had used this massive club against his conspecifics, massive injuries would have resulted, maybe even with a lethal outcome. As killing a rival is neither the usual way, nor in the interest of nature, I am quite confident, the club was used as a tool to intimidate the rival, most likely producing soundwaves in the infrasound frequency band. Of course, it was also a formidable weapon against predation.

North would be California and the Rockies at that time. This was not long after the breakup of Pangea, what is now known as North America, back than wester Laurasia, was sideways so the current west coast was facing north and slightly west. So going east of where Hells Creek is now would lead toward the Tropic of Cancer back than, because the Appalachians would be pretty much south than and the west coast would pretty much be north. Even though the Cretaceous period was warmer we know that there were dinosaurs with feathers since the Jurassic such as Archaeopteryx, Archaeopteryx was discovered in Germany but this was not long after the break up of Pangea, "Germany" and the "United States" were closer to eachother than now. The changes in geography as related to climate were not the same as they are currently.
