#Gorgosaurus ( GOR-gə-SOR-əs; lit. 'dreadful lizard') is a #genus of #tyrannosaurid #theropod #dinosaur that lived in western North America during the #LateCretaceous #Period (#Campanian), between about 76.5 and 75 #millionYearsAgo. #Fossil remains have been found in the #CanadianProvince of #Alberta and the #USState of #Montana. #Paleontologists recognize only the #typeSpecies, G. libratus, although other species have been erroneously referred to the genus. Like most known tyrannosaurids.

#Ammonites went out with a diverse bang—and not a long, slow fizzle—in the #LateCretaceous
A new study used museum collections to map ammonite diversity around the globe before their total #extinction and found they were not in decline prior to their extinction alongside non-avian dinosaurs 66 million years ago
