Fossil teeth from ancient North American coastlines suggest some dinosaurs supplemented land diets with seaweed and other marine food, revealing a coastal feeding link that existed more than 100 million years ago
- The researchers examined fossils from ancient coastal environments associated with the Western Interior Seaway, a vast inland sea that divided North America during the Cretaceous.
- More than 100 million years ago, the boundary between land and sea may have been a little less distinct than it looks on a map.
- Along the ancient coastlines of North America, storms regularly swept marine material onto beaches, creating an unexpected source of food for animals living on land.
