A:During the Cretaceous, the present North American continent was isolated from the other continents. In the Jurassic, the North Atlantic already opened, leaving a proto-ocean between Europe and North America. From north to south across the continent, the Western Interior Seaway started forming. This inland sea separated the elevated areas of Laramidia in the west and Appalachia in the east. Three dinosaur clades found in Laramidia (troodontids, therizinosaurids and oviraptorosaurs) are absent from Appalachia from the Coniacian through the Maastrichtian. B:Would a biologist say that traits of troodontids, therizinosaurids, and oviraptorosaurs had evolved independently in separate populations, given the fact that these dinosaurs could be found on either side of a natural barrier? Answer: commonly
A:"Dsungaripterus weii" had a wing span of 3 to 3.5 meters (9.8 to 11.5 ft). Like most dsungaripteroids it had a rather robust skeleton with thick walls and stouty bodily proportions, suggesting a mostly terrestrial lifestyle. The flight style of these animals is unclear, but it was probably punctuated by abrupt landings and extensive flapping. B:If you spotted a Dsungaripterus weii in flight, is probable that you'd see large amount of wing movement? Answer: assessing

This inland sea separated the elevated areas of Laramidia in the west and Appalachia in the east.
