What plants were around with the T-Rex?
Small trees, palms, and ferns were prevalent. T. rex lived 2 million to 7 million years after the time of the dinosaur environment Scott Wing found buried beneath a volcano’s dust.
What animals live alongside Rex?
Dinosaurs typically found in the same formations (Hell Creek being the best studied so far) as Tyrannosaurs include:
- Edmontosaurus annectens.
- Triceratops horridus and prorosus.
- Torosaurus.
- Pachycephalosaurus.
- Denversaurus.
- Ornithomimus(?)
- Anzu.
- Acheroraptor.
What environment did the T-Rex live in?
Habitat of the Tyrannosaurus The landscape of their range was very different 65 million years ago, as was much of the world. Scientists believe that the T-rex lived in areas with high humidity and semi-tropical temperatures. They lived in coastal swamps, open forests, and likely remained close to water sources.
What was the climate like when the T-Rex was alive?
The weather was in the low fifties on average, as it is in the redwood forest, though not so wet through most of Hell Creek time. We certainly don’t think the weather in T. rex’s day was dry—we don’t find any caliches, the littie balls of calcium carbonate that form in sediments from years of dry seasons.
What kind of plants were around with the dinosaurs?
Did you know that plants like magnolias and ferns were around when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, surviving mass extinctions? Their fossils have been found across the world – and we have living examples of them at the Eden Project.
What plants were around with the dinosaurs?
When dinosaurs first became numerous in the late Triassic Period, nearly all of the major groups of vascular plants except the angiosperms were in existence. Conifers, cycadophytes, ginkgoes, ferns and large arborescent horsetails dominated the landscape.
Did T Rex live in Jurassic?
T. rex did not live during the Jurassic period. It lived millions of years later, during the late Cretaceous period, roughly 85 to 65 million years ago.
