It's a good book but could have used a better editing. For instance, 1000 kg is not less than 2000 lb (in the same gravity, at least.) Also - "The projecting snout of Tylosaurus may have been used as a ram to stun prey or in combat with others of its kind, but was probably actually too fragile and sensitive for this purpose"
Hmmm...it was probably used to ram but actually was too sensitive to ram... 🤔

Caption under a picture that clearly shows 5 digits, each with a claw: "The four claws on each of Borhyaena's feet made it a formidable predator."

And on this page, apparently 3,000kg = 1,587lb... I had no idea Earth's gravity was so much weaker during the Cretaceous...

The worst yet is on p335; the Saltasaurus' weight is given as "6-350kg (7 tons)" ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm........
