An Accurate Depiction of Early-Mid Cretaceous Coastal North America?
So, I'm in the process of writing a book series having to do with prehistory and the like, and I'm trying to make everything as accurate to life as I can while still making it an entertaining story. The first book of this series has to do mainly with the roughly 110 million year old coastal floodplains and hills of Oklahoma/ Northern Texas area, and, while I feel that my dinosaurs are about as accurate as I can make them at this point (Fully feathered Deinonychus, Supinated vs pronated hands in Acrocanthosaurus and Deinonychus, etc.), I need a bit of help with their environment. Thus far, I haven't been able to find hardly anything about the climate, botany, or even a lot of the geography of the area thus far beyond the most simple stuff like lack of grass and warm and humid climate. Now, given that I want to stay as accurate as I can and do every time era justice, I'm not sure where to go from here. Would anyone happen to know or be able to direct me to some of the specifics? As of right now, I'm using a mix of the forests of Eureka, California and parts of New Zealand as my main models, with a hint of southern Florida thrown in as well. Thanks for taking the time to answer this!
