Europe is relatively rich in fossils from the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary, and much of what is known about European dinosaurs dates from this time. During the Maastrichtian the end of the Cretaceous dinosaurs were dominating western and Central Europe as the Tremp Formation in Spain dates back to that age.
The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale. Rock strata from this epoch form the Upper Cretaceous Series. The Cretaceous is named after creta, the Latin word for the white limestone known as chalk.
Dinosaur Park Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian) Canada ( Alberta) Some specimens were found as stomach contents of Gorgosaurus [21] Claosaurus: 1890 Niobrara Formation (Late Cretaceous, Santonian to Campanian) United States ( Kansas) Historically conflated with other hadrosaurs Coahuilaceratops: 2010
The eggs date back more than 80 million years ago, making it a part of the Late Cretaceous period (66 to 100.5 million years ago). ... This sets a new record for the smallest found dinosaur egg.

Allen Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian to Maastrichtian) Argentina: Its holotype was preserved with two eggs that may have been within its oviducts when it died [17] Bonapartesaurus: 2017 Allen Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian to Maastrichtian) Argentina: Belongs to the Austrokritosauria, a clade of hadrosaurids endemic to South ...
The Liaoning lagerstätte (Yixian Formation) in China is an important site, full of preserved remains of numerous types of small dinosaurs, birds and mammals, that provides a glimpse of life in the Early Cretaceous. The coelurosaur dinosaurs found there represent types of the group Maniraptora, which includes modern birds and their closest non ...
This is an incomplete list that briefly describes vertebrates that were extant during the Maastrichtian, a stage of the Late Cretaceous Period which extended from 72.1 to 66 million years before present. This was the last time period in which non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs existed.
