Mixed up Time-Periods?

[Bear Pigs]

In Venture Dinosauria I heard about a variety dinosaurs. I was excited there would be so many dinosaurs in the the game but I realised many of the dinosaurs are different time-periods. (To give an example) I know for a fact that Utahraptor did not coexist with Tyrannosaurus Rex. How would this work out in a realistic manor? (By the way I'd like to say hi to the forums because i'm new here).

11 out of the 12 dinos/reptiles are from the Cretaceous and the late jurassic stegosaurus. its true that they are from different times but most of the cretaceous ecosystems were only found with on average 6 large dinosaurs so having 12 in one area is much more interesting

[Bear Pigs]

I understand what your getting at but would this be noted in the game?

[ChanGuy]

i'm not sure about that. i guess we'll just have to wait for the game

sorry i can't let that go, cretaceous environments of different locations and timezones are completely different, and what do you mean only 6 large dinosaurs? i can list a bunch of formations with 12. for example hell creek:
the ones in the game are:
t-rex
triceratops
parasaurolophus
ankylosaurus
ornithomimus
quetzalcoatlus
others that could be:
edmontia
caegnathus
pachycephalosaurus
thescelosaurus
dromeosaurus
leptoceratops
edmontosaurus

i'm just saying, if he wanted to he could make it very accurate.

I guess now e just added them to make the game more diverse.

those animals living together are as, if not more diverse then the original selection.

i thought hells creek showed multiple times in the late cretacious. some of your examples actualy didnt live together at all. i know for a fact Parasauralophus lived and went extinct almost 10 million years before T-rex and caegnathus lived over 80 million years ago. i think andy wanted a large diversity of cretacious dinos and took all the most popular ones for the game

(

I agree with Changuy because I guess now Andy's selection basicly shows what would happen if all groups of dinosaurs where living in an ecosystem. Since your list doesn't include sauropods or stegosaurs. (There was a sauropod called alamosaurus that coexisted with T-rex. I'm kinda a dino freak )

changuy: parasaurolophus is considered debatable, caegnathus i goofed up on, i suck with oviraptosaurs, but both are still in the maastrachian.

bear pigs: alamosaurus you could include since its also from the late cretaceous, i just find using early-mid cretaceous dinosaurs with late cretaceous dinosaurs to be unrealistic.

I do too, but like I said before the selection allows you to see what they would look like togetherl.

Parasaurolophus and Almosaurus never lived in the Hell Creek Formation, or in any other formations that are similar. The same goes for Dromaeosaurus. The reason is because the remains of these animals have never been found in the formation (Scientists are still debating whether parasaur remains have been uncovered from Hell Creek, the "dromaeosaur" teeth from the formation have not been identified, and as far as I know, the idea of Almosaurus never existed in Hell Creek). I know this, becuase I recently made a powerpoint cataloging the animals and plants in the formation and other formations similar (I learned a lot). I wonder if I can post it here...

If I said Alamosaurus lived in the Hell Creek formation I'm sorry. I already knew those two dinosaurs didn't live in Hell Creek. Whaen I mentioned alamosaurus I ment that alamosaurus coexisted with Tyrannosaurus, not that it lived in the Hell Creek formation. Ooo, and I would love to see a powerpoint on dinosaurs . (I made one on dinosaurs too)

sorry, i forgot to put debatable in paranthesis next to parasaurolophus. i know alamosaurus didn't live there, and i didn't know dromeosaurus didn't live in the maastrachian (my books never tell me the exact time a dinosaur lived). but you can easily replace dromeosaurus with troodon then.
