Hi Alan,

The HMNH (Harvard Museum of Natural History) has its
famous full-size mounted Kronosaurus, which is from
the Cretaceous--but not the Western Interior Seaway,
unfortunetely.  It's from Queensland, Australia. 
Still, it may be of interest to you.  A great mount. 
There are also many fossil fish specimens there, some
of which may be from the CWIS.
