Today, Hell Creek is a dramatic enough landscape as it is without the prehistoric context - aerial photos of the formation will show a jagged landscape of huge rocks and cliffs jutting out into the sky, amidst sparse forests and fields underneath a wide open sky. It looks very different to the Hell Creek of sixty six million years earlier. There's a reason we're focusing on this location in prehistory specifically, though. The Hell Creek Formation is famous for containing the fossils of North America's very last dinosaurs, the ones that would have been alive to experience the cataclysmic mass extinction event that put an end to their entire kind. Some of the rocks are even young enough to topple over the Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary into the beginning of the Cenozoic era, the time when the world was dominated by the small mammals, reptiles and birds that survived the asteroid impact and the subsequent disasters.
