Description
English: Diagram showing all the known Dinosauria from the Hell Creek Formation, including the indeterminate Azhdarchid[1] and aquatic reptiles: Champsosaurus and an indeterminate Mosasaur known from fragmentary remains[2]. Obviously, there is more fauna in this formation, such as turtles, alligators, crocodiles, mammals and invertebrates, the depicted animals are the most notorius.[3][4][5]

[6] NOTE:

This formation is geographically close to the North Horn Formation, in wich, the remains of Alamosaurus have been found, the occurences beetwen Alamosaurus and this fauna are indeed very possible, however, Alamosaurus was not included in the diagram since the remains of this animal have not been found in Hell Creek.
Español: Diagrama mostrando toda la Dinosauria conocida de la Formación Hell Creek, incluyendo al Azhdarchido indeterminado y a reptiles acuáticos: Champsosaurus y un Mosasaurio indeterminado conocido por restos fragmentados. Obviamente, esta formación contiene mas fauna, tales como tortugas, caimanes, cocodrilos, mamíferos e invertebrados, los animales representados son los mas notorios.

NOTA: Esta formación es muy cercana geográficamente a la Formación North Horn, en la cual, se han encontrado los restos de Alamosaurus, las ocurrencias entre Alamosaurus y esta fauna son en efecto muy posibles, sin embargo, Alamosaurus no fue incluido en el diagrama debido a que los fragmentos de este animal no han sido encontrados en Hell Creek.
