Haimacystis and Thescelosaurus suggested by @Ankysareawesome (Thescelo could be better because basal-shaped ornithopods aren't very easy for me)
Geosternbergia, Phalarodon, & Bistahieversor suggested by @OceanStudios (my standing pterosaurs need a lot of work)
She has become Hell Creek Thescelosaurus and other vocaloids have joined!
(first time drawing a front facing theropod by the way and it's a freaking soyjack Tyrannosaurus. Same scenario with the soyjack Torosaurus)
Closer look at Hatsune Miku herself! She's in her outfit and uh yeah other stuff
The others:
-Megurine Luka as Thoracosaurus
-Kasane Teto as Edmontosaurus
-Kagamene Len and Rin as Dakotaraptor
Uh that's it
@ScaryLookinHobo Hatsune Miku mentioned
Underwater view of Hell Creek, featuring Borealosuchus and Protoscaphirhynchus. There's also a thescelosaur in the background

How come sooooo many species of burrowers couldn't manage to survive the K-T event !? We are talking about dozens of them as of now !
This small creature has no common name, but its scientific name is "Chimerasaurus Minimus" because it resembles a comparison of a Theropod and an Ornithopod (with the latter being what it's closer related to).
The length is similar to parksosaurus, but with a proportionally shorter tail, making it a larger animal overall.
Thescelosaurus is one of the many Hell Creek dinosaurs that always gets overshadowed by its more popular contemporaries like Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops. I think it needs another chance in the spotlight.
Skeletal diagram is here. https://www.deviantart.com/getawaytrike/art/Eagle-faced-herbivores-727130757. I used the top one for reference.
I think there are skin impressions that showed that its tail was featherless and its legs were at least mostly featherless, but what about the rest of the animal? I have seen a lot of pictures that show it mostly feathered, but some modern reconstructions still show it as featherless.
Gwangi 2: Return to the Valley is set in the modern day instead of 1925 (the first one is set in 1925). There hasn't been an expedition to the forbidden valley since the 1970's. This is because of a storm that left the valley hard to explore. The new expedition is to a part of the valley that wasn't explored, and there are some new species shown. Here are some possible ideas for new species:
A Caenagnathid Oviraptorosaur
A Chasmosaurine Ceratopsid
A Spinosaurid
A Thescelosaurid
An Iguanodontid
A Microraptorine Dromaeosaurid
An Ornithocheirid pterosaur
An Azhdarchid pterosaur
An Ankylosaurid
A Saurolophine Hadrosaur
A freshwater Plesiosaur
A Choristoderan
And maybe more if I either think of a good idea or see something suggested in the comments.
The first installment in the Gwangi reboot is here.

Found in deposits from the Tanis site, it is believed to have died either during or slightly before the K-Pg Extinction! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-61013740

Dinosaurs, they roamed the world for 165 million years. However this will soon come to and end with a mass extinction. The last of Dinosaurs, were the biggest, and deadliest of them all. A T-rex hatches from its egg. This is the End of an Era.
Intro rolls for one final time
This is one of the most deadliest hunters of all time.
But for now its a little hatch-ling. This is none other than Tyrannosaurus rex. The mother arrives. They are too young to hunt, so they have to relay on their mother for food. A female T-rex pushes her sibling to eat. In this world only the strongest hatch-lings grow up.
Next we move on to a heard of Triceratops.
These are Triceratops, one of the most iconic Dinosaurs. They are adorned with a big frill used for intimidation and attracting mates, and three horns for offence. One small horn on the tip of its nose, and the large brow-horns above its eyes. A Triceratops eats some plants. Not even a T-rex would dare attack a healthy adult. It's the young-lings that need to be safe, so sometimes they made small heards for extra protection.
Next we see an Ankylosaurus.
This is the most well armored Dinosaurs, an Ankylosaurus. Ankylosaurus eats. Covered with armor for defense, the only way to kill one is to flip it over which is a difficult choice due to its weight and club on the end of its tail that can shatter bones.
Next we see some Pachycephalosaurus.
Pachycephalosaurus, another armored herbivore. They are one of the fastest herbivores in this place. Its head is covered with many spikes and a head, most likely for defense and intimidation.
Next up we see an Anzu.
This is Anzu, an Oviraptoroid. They have a beak for crushing seeds and small animals and a crest for attracting mates. We see a few males and females and we see the differences between them. An Avisaurus flies to the trees.
This is an Avisaurus. At this point at time, birds are just as wide-spread as their descendants, the Dinosaurs. One of the Avisaurus eats a seed.
Some time passes and we see the female T-rex, this time as an adolescent. The female T-rex is now old enough to hunt on its own. Younger Tyrannosaurus are more slender and faster than the adults, they most likely filled in the role of the medium predator. The T-rex hides stalks a group of Ornithomimus and Thescelosaurus.
These are Ornithomimus, the fastest Dinosaurs around here, the smaller Dinosaurs are Thescelosaurus. The T-rex ambushes them and kills an Ornithomimus.
Next up we see an Acheroraptor eating a dead Thescelosaurus.
This is an Acheroraptor, they are small in size and mostly scavenge for food, but when they get the chance they will hunt small animals. Another Acheroraptor comes. Another one has come for food. They stars snarling at each other.
Another few years pass and the T-rex is no an adult. The Tyrannosaurus is now an adult, an apex predator, but for now she must rest. We see the Triceratops again but this time with some Edmontosaurus.
These are Edmontosaurus, some of the largest Ornithopods, they seem like easy food for predators but in reality they too are just as dangerous as the other herbivores thanks to their kicks.
The next day we see the female T-rex hunting. She is on the hunt, and she has her target on a adolescent Triceratops. She goes for the kill and after an intense battle the T-rex kills the Triceratops and eats it. That is enough hunting for today
The female T-rex wakes up and sees the sky, a giant meteor heading to a distance. The meteor crashes and makes a large sound and suddenly lots of fire and smoke comes the way of the Tyrannosaurus. She tries to run away but is engulfed by the smoke. We see some shots of the mass extinction. Around 66 million years ago, a giant meteor crashed on the gulf of Mexico, the sunlight was covered in smoke which killed of the plants which killed the herbivores, eventually the carnivores followed. We see some dead Dinosaurs. Their size protected them, but it also caused their downfall. The smaller animals who hid in burrows underground and needed less food survived, one such group were the mammals. After the disappearance of the Dinosaurs mammals filled in their niche. We see some modern animals. The Dinosaurs may be long gone, but we still have their descendants, sitting on our balconies today, the birds.
End credits roll for one final time
