[snip] In point of fact, the creators of When Dinosaurs Roamed America had a couple additional episodes planned: one concerning the Judithian fauna and the other concerning the Niobrara (and thus a Late K North American counterpart to Walking With Dinosaurs London Clay episode). The Niobrara episode would have, naturally, featured mosasaurs (as well as plesiosaurs, Hesperornis, Archelon, Ichthyornis, Pteranodon, etc.). Sadly, for time and budget constraints this episode was cut. Perhaps a stand alone "Oceans of Kansas" WDRA special could be done? Thomas R.
