Laatutekijöitä

Laatutekijöitä, also known as Late Cretaceous predators, refers to a group of terrestrial predators that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. This time period, which spanned from approximately 100 to 65 million years ago, was characterized by the presence of various large carnivorous dinosaurs.

Studies have suggested that the Late Cretaceous saw the emergence of some of the largest and most fearsome predators to have ever existed. These include tyrannosaurs, such as the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as other formidable predators like Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus.

The Late Cretaceous predators were often found in specific habitats, such as floodplains and coastal areas, which may have provided them with an abundance of food sources. These predators likely hunted a wide range of prey, including herbivorous dinosaurs like hadrosaurs and ceratopsians.

The fossil record of Late Cretaceous predators is well-represented, with several well-preserved specimens found in various regions. The discovery of these fossils has provided valuable insights into the ecology and evolution of these ancient predators.

Research in this field continues to be an area of active investigation, with new discoveries and analyses providing ongoing insights into the biology and ecology of Late Cretaceous predators.
