Richardoestesia

Carnivore

There is no write-up for this dinosaur yet, but the scientific data below is complete.

Who lived alongside it

Dinosaurs found in the same rock formation as Richardoestesia (Hell Creek, Dinosaur Park), so they lived in the same region at roughly the same time.

Formation data from the Paleobiology Database, counting only each genus's main formations. One formation can span hundreds of thousands to millions of years, so this doesn't mean any two of them ever met.
