Got any deathsticks?
A cool thing about the cretaceous is that even towards the end of the period you had these bizarre divergences. With North and South America split by shallow seas the species up north got really weird and developed into what we typically assume cretaceous animals to look like. Meanwhile the South American dinosaurs look a lot like the earlier Jurassic period animals except that they've gotten absolutely gigantic.

Behavioral depictions aside as it's speculation you should really check out Prehistoric Planet for some absolutely gorgeous looking takes in contemporary dinosaur appearances.

That's a pterosaur not a dinosaur you hack.

One is a terrible lizard and the other is a pterror lizard
