A trip to Dinosaur Provincial Park is also a 75 million-year foray back in time. This region was then a subtropical paradise populated by turtles, crocodiles and sharks--and featuring a lush vegetation similar to the coastal plains of the south-eastern United States today. Here, on the shore of the Bearpaw Sea, dinosaurs once hunted and mated--and ultimately met their demise, leaving an amazingly rich fossil and bone record for us to discover today. 1, record 5, English, - Dinosaur%20Provincial%20Park

None of the living crocodilians is nonaquatic, but still one more group of land crocodiles became prominent in South America during Tertiary times. They evidently arose from a group of peculiar mesosuchians, the baurusuchids, that first appeared in the late Cretaceous. By the beginning of the Tertiary their descendants, the sebecids, had appeared. They were large animals with a high, narrow snout... their teeth were long and laterally flattened and had sharp, serrated cutting edges much like those of carnivorous dinosaurs. 1, record 9, English, - sebecids
