“…2), were first described by Groot, Penny and Groot (1961) and subsequently studied by Kimyai (1966), Doyle (1969), and Wolfe andPakiser (1971, manuscript version cited by Doyle, 1969). New Jersey Raritan assemblages contain not only monosulcate and tricolpate angiosperm pollen, but also tricolporates and primitive members of the triporate Normapolles complex which is so important higher in the Upper Cretaceous of Europe and eastern North America.…”

“…The Cenomanian Raritan facies of the upper Potomac Formation (e.g., Dalton et al, 1999;Miller et al, 2004;Lipka et al, 2006) preserves a scant but biogeographically significant non-avian dinosaur fossil record. This unit is made up of alternating clay and sand beds (Kimyai, 1966;Dalton et al, 1999;Miller et al, 2004;Lipka et al, 2006) and has produced both the only record of dinosaur tracks from the Cretaceous east of the Mississippi river and several other specimens, including an isolated distal metatarsal II of a tyrannosaur (YPM VPPU 016760) most similar to Appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis ( Figure 6.1-5) (Baird, 1988(Baird, , 1989Gallagher, 1997;pers. obs.…”

The Cenomanian to Maastrichtian of the Late Cretaceous saw the flooding of the interior of North America by the Western Interior Seaway, which created the eastern landmass of Appalachia and the western landmass of Laramidia. Though Appalachian dinosaur faunas are poorly known, they are nevertheless important for understanding Cretaceous dinosaur paleobiogeography and ecology. In order to better track the vicariance of eastern and western North American dinosaur faunas over the duration of the Cretaceous, the former were compared with the latter from the Aptian to Maastrichtian Stages of the Late Cretaceous using several similarity indices. The data gathered from biogeographic similarity indices suggest that an almost completely homogenous North American dinosaur fauna found in the Early Cretaceous experienced significant vicariance, splitting into a Laramidian fauna differentiated by the presence of ceratopsids, pachycephalosaurids, saurolophids, lambeosaurines, ankylosaurids, therizinosaurids, and troodontids and an Appalachian fauna characterized by the lack of the aforementioned groups and the presence of non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroids, massive hadrosauroids, basal hadrosaurids, leptoceratopsians, "intermediate"-grade tyrannosauroids, and nodosaurids between the Cenomanian and Campanian, with these two faunas later experiencing limited dispersal after the disappearance of the Western Interior Seaway from the American Interior during the Maastrichtian. Dinosaur provincialism and ecology on Appalachia are also investigated and discussed.

“…Most occurrences recorded to date are, however, from the northern hemisphere (Europe: Dijkstra 1939, Greenland: Miner 1932, North America: Tschudy 1966, Kimyai 1966, Hall 1967, Hills 1967, Hall & Peake 1968, Paden Phillips & Felix 1971, Campbell & Untergasser 1972. In the southern hemisphere the only known occurrences are from South America (Peru: Elsik 1966, Chile: Stough 1968).…”
