Prince Creek Formation

A Nanuqsaurus resting from a recent meal

I loved all your guys suggestions, and I’ll make sure to include them all in the book.

Basically just think up a scene, here’s the species

• Tylosaurus

• Troodon

• Dromaeosaurus

• Gruipeda

• Unnuakomys

• Hesperornis

• Nanuqsaurus

• Edmontonia

• Denali Pterosaur

• Elasmosaurid

• Saurornitholestes

• Smaller Thescelosaurid

• Pachyrhinosaurus

• Leptoceratopsid

• Larger Thescelosaurid

• Alaskacephale

• Ornithomimid

• Lambeosaurinae

• Edmontosaurus

• Saurornitholestinae (protagonist)

• Therizinosaurid

• Gypsonictops

• Mulituberculata

• Cimolodon

• Enchoteuthis

• Albertosaurus

• Sikuomys

• Marsupial

1. Cimolodon nitidus

Teeth from this species were found in the Prince Creek Formation. There were few others from this order in the formation

2. Hesperornis

This sea bird was found somewhere in Alaska, I don't know which species it was. It was one of many sea birds that lived in the State

3. Enchoteuthis sp

This unnamed species in the genus has been found in Canada and Alaska

4. Gypsonictops sp

I like this guy, he's very goofy. another mammal from the Prince Creek formation

5. Saurornitholestes langstoni

Saurornitholestes teeth have been found in the Prince Creek Formation, it is one of three Dromaeosaurids from there

6. Tylosaurus progier

Tylosaurus teeth were found in the hadrosaur specimen known as "The Talkeetna mountains hadrosaur"

7. Mixosaurus

I don't remember which species it was but one of them lived here

8. Albertosaurus

There are fossils of an Albertosaurine from Alaska that are probably from Albertosaurus.

9. intermediate leptoceratopsid

Yep, Pachyrhinosaurus isn't the only ceratopsians from Alaska, this little goober was discovered in 2021

10 years ago on March 12th, scientists published a new scientific paper describing jaw material from the Prince Creek Formation in Alaska as a new genus of Tyrannosaurid dinosaur. The fossil material was originally thought to be from gorgosaurus. They named it Nanuqsaurus hoglundi meaning Polar Bear Lizard

The tyrannosaur was around 6 meters long and 990 kilograms

Strange that I didn't learn about it until 2023

69 million years ago, an unnamed genus of saurornitholestine (cool fact: saurornitholestes also lived in this formation, these two are not the same animal) observers the small mammal cimolodon.

What are the Inaccuracies

Edit: for some stupid reason I'm only allowed to tag the Gastric Brooding Frog

The scientists who discovered Ugrunaaluk camped out in tents at the river where the fossils were found. The conditions were very extreme and they even camped through snow. When moving around the dig site they sometimes had to use ropes to climb up cliffs.

Thank you for listening to this random fact

@11duckhunt

It's upside down because FANDOM does not want to leave my images alone (the weird part is I literally took a photo of the drawing flipped and FANDOM left it alone)

Edit: fixed

On the north slope of Alaska, a duo of Nanuqsauruses attack a 30 foot long lambeosauriane

What are Inaccuracies?

This isn't actually for dinosaurs of Alaska it's just. My own thing. The scene will be in the book though.

Some people were confused about the size so I want to point out that the Alaskan ornithomimid is 10 feet long and Troodons from Alaska are 13 feet long

Feel free to review the accuracy

Alright let's get down to business, the book takes place in Alaska around 69 million years ago. The setting isn't based on a certain formation, just places in Alaska, it's a very beautiful state and if you've never been there you should visit it.

The protagonist will be a saurornitholestine rather then a Troodon (note: the Alaskan saurornitholestine is not saurornitholestes although both lived in Alaska. They are bot distinct genera.

I re did all the designs and added many more species

Here's the art. All fixed now

If you can't read the names I'll write them tomorrow but I have to turn in for the night.

What are the Inaccuracies, which is your favorite?

I started writing dinosaurs of Alaska and I wanted to add a scene where a herd of Edmontosaurus cross a river and are attacked by tylosauruses but I'm not sure when the tylosaurus lived and went extinct
