Late Campanian-Maastrichtian | Spain | A genus of average-sized basal eusuchian. Might be synonymous with its contemporary relative genus Allodaposuchus. | |
|
84.9–66.043 Ma | Spain and France, | A genus of average-sized basal eusuchian, growing to around 3 m (9.8 ft) long. The main feature that distinguishes this species from other related crocodylomorphs is the orientation of a groove at the back of the skull called the cranioquadrate passage; unlike the cranioquadrate passages of other crocodylomorphs, which are only visible at the back of the skull, the cranioquadrate passage of this variety is visible when the skull is viewed from the side. The genus includes many species but it may be paraphyletic in regards to its contemporary relative genera Agaresuchus and Lohuecosuchus. | |

†Dinosaurs
editDuring the Campanian age, a radiation among dinosaur species occurred. In North America, for example, the number of known dinosaur genera rises from 4 at the base of the Campanian to 48 in the upper part. This development is sometimes referred to as the "Campanian Explosion". However, it is not yet clear if the event is artificial, i.e. the low number of genera in the lower Campanian can be caused by a lower preservation chance for fossils in deposits of that age. The generally warm climates and large continental area covered in shallow sea during the Campanian probably favoured the dinosaurs. In the following Maastrichtian stage, the number of North American dinosaur genera found is 30% less than in the upper Campanian.[1]

Taxa | Presence | Location | Description | Images |
Middle Campanian,
80–77.5 mya |
Foremost Formation, Alberta [8] | Colepiocephale lambei is a domed pachycephalosaur characterized by the lack of a lateral and posteriosquamosal shelf, a steeply down-turned parietal, and the presence of two incipient nodes tucked under the posterior margin of the parietosquamosal border. [9] | ||
Late Campanian,
75–73 Mya |
Dinosaur Park Formation, Belly River Group, Alberta[10][11] | Foraminacephale was a small to medium sized pachycephalosaur.[12] | ||
76 mya | Boro Khovil, Djadochta Formation, Mongolia [13] | Goyocephale is a primitive pachycephalosaurian, and was originally included in the family Homalocephalidae, which united the genus with Homalocephale[14], which also has a flat skull roof, however, many more recent phylogenetic analyses tend to find Homalocephalidae to be a paraphyletic family, with the genera included simply being consecutive branches sister to Pachycephalosauridae[15], or as consecutive branches within Pachycephalosauridae[11]. Goyocephale is distinguished from Homalocephale by its overall proportions, the shape of its supratemporal fenestra, and heterodont dentition, although the two share multiple features. | ||
Late Campanian,
75 mya |
Belly River Group[16], Alberta | There is some debate amongst paleontologists as to whether the animal represents a distinct genus, or if it is synonymous with Stegoceras[16]. Some recent publications indicate it may be a valid genus. | ||
Campanian, 77.5–75 mya | Belly River Group, Dinosaur Park Formation and Oldman Formation, Alberta; Judith River Formation, Montana[17] | Distinguished from other pachycephalosaurs by having a depressed parietal region, wide frontoparietal dome, broad nasal characteristics, reduced prefontal lobes, and a reduced parietosquamosal shelf. A possible synonym of Stegoceras[16]. | ||
Late Cretaceous | Omnogov, Nemegt Formation, Mongolia[18] | Sporting a flat, wedge-shaped skull roof, Homalocephale was different from other pachycephalosaurs. | ||
Campanian | Dinosaur Park Formation, Alberta[19] | Likely a synonym of Stegoceras.[20] | ||
Late Cretaceous | Djadochta Formation, Mongolia | It was similar in many ways to its close relative, Homalocephale but unlike the flattened wedge-shaped skull of later (a possible juvenile trait also potentially seen in early growth stages of Pachycephalosaurus), the head of Prenocephale was rounded and sloping. | ||

Upper Santonian-Lower Campanian boundary 85.8 mya[49] | Bostobe Formation, Kazakhstan[50] | A basal lambeosaurine hadrosaur,[50] Aralosaurus was about the size of an elephant. Although very little is known about Aralosaurus (only one near complete skull has been found); it was identified by a beak with nearly 1,000 small teeth in 30 rows. The back of an Aralosaurus skull was wide, a feature suggestive of large jaw muscles used to power its chewing apparatus[51]. | ||
81-76.7 mya[52] | Montana, USA; Alberta, Canada[53] | Brachylophosaurus was a basal saurolophine hadrosaur which reached an adult length of 9 meters (30 feet).[54][55] Some, depending on their age, had crests that covered nearly the entire skull roof, while others had shorter, narrower crests.[56] | ||

75-67 mya | Alberta, Canada | A derived lambeosaurine, Hypacrosaurus is most easily distinguished from other hollow-crested duckbills by its tall neural spines and the form of its crest. The neural spines, which project from the top of the vertebrae, are 5 to 7 times the height of the body of their respective vertebrae in the back,[4] which would have given it a tall back in profile. The skull's hollow crest is like that of Corythosaurus, but is more pointed along its top, not as tall, wider side to side, and has a small bony point at the rear | ||
North Carolina and Missouri, USA | A large hadrosauroid known only by a couple of vertebrae. | |||

Aguja Formation, Texas | A basal hadrosaur. | |||
76.7 mya | Montana, USA | Maiasaura was a large basal saurolophine hadrosaur, attaining an adult length of about 9 metres (30 feet) and had the typical hadrosaurid flat beak and a thick nose. It had a small, spiky crest in front of its eyes. The crest may have been used in headbutting contests between males during the breeding season. | ||

The upper arm was relatively short. | ||
75 mya | Montana, USA | A dubious genus of lambeosaurine hadrosaurs. Historically, several species were assigned to it, all based on extremely fragmentary remains, but there is no evidence to support these assignments. | ||
72 mya | France; Spain; Haţeg Island, Romania[76] | It is unclear whether it was an iguanodont or a hypsilophodont, and may be a "missing link" between the two. Current evidence indicates it is an iguanodont similar to Tenontosaurus.[76] | ||
69.5–68.5 mya | North America, Asia | Saurolophus is known from material including nearly complete skeletons, giving researchers a clear picture of its bony anatomy. S. osborni, the rarer Albertan species, was around 9.8 meters (32 feet) long, with its skull a meter long (3.3 feet). Its weight is estimated at 1.9 tonnes (2.1 tons). S. angustirostris, the Mongolian species, was larger; the type skeleton is roughly 12 meters (39 feet) long, and larger remains are reported. | ||

A genus of flightless hesperornithiform birds. | ||||
A genus of freshwater hesperornithiform birds. Although Hesperornithes probably lost their flight abilities by the end of the Early Cretaceous, minimal pachyostosis in Brodavis suggests the possibility of some volant abilities. | ||||
A genus of flightless hesperornithid birds. | ||||
An enantiornithe of uncertain affinities. It was estimated to have a wingspan of around 127–185 cm and may have been 75 to 110 cm long when fully grown, making it one of the largest known enantiornitheans to date. | ||||
~85 mya | Bostobe Formation, Kazakhstan | An extinct genus of birds. The type species, C. sarysuensis, is known only from an isolated, asymmetrical contour feather | ||
Elsornis is a genus of basal enantiornithine birds. It was flightless or nearly so. | ||||
A genus of large, primitive and potentially flightless avialan. | ||||
An avisaurid enantiornithe, previously thought to be a species of the later closely related Maastrichtian genus Avisaurus. | ||||
A genus of euenantiornithine enantiornithe. It possessed a robust beak which convergently evolved with those of modern birds. | ||||
A genus of avisaurid enantiornithe. It lived in a coastal environment. | ||||
A genus of flightless hesperornithid birds. | ||||
A genus of small ground birds. It was either an enantiornithe or a basal ornithuromorph. | ||||
A genus of toothy seabird-like ornithuran. | ||||
A genus of avisaurid enantiornithe. Although closely related to some of the largest avisaurids, members of this genus were very small birds. | ||||
Latest Campanian | Northumberland Formation, British Columbia, Canada. | A genus of large marine diving vegaviid bird with an estimated body mass of 1.5 kg. | ||
A genus of avisaurid enantiornithes, closely related to the later genus Avisaurus. | ||||
Limenavis is the closest known relative of modern birds. | ||||
A marine bird from Chile. It had the midfeet of a foot-propelled diving bird, but its relationships are enigmatic. The only known species is from the Campanian-Maastrichtian boundary. | ||||
A genus of basal long-tailed avialan. May potentially be a non-avialan genus of theropod. |
