Wasn't there also some LK dinos thought to be nocturnal or crepuscular?
I think about some troodontids.


Yup.  There was actually an interesting paper on this recently in the JVP:

Fiorillo, Anthony, and Roland A. Gangloff. 2000. Theropod teeth from the Prince Creek Formation (Cretaceous) of northern Alaska, with speculations on Arctic Dinosaur Diversity. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology 20(4): 675-682.
