  Not only are they present in the Lance they are relatively more abundant 
there than in the Hell Creek.


Why

  I assumed a hadrosaur because you mentioned evidence of tyrannosaurid 
attack, and Thescelosaurus was too small to be preferred prey of a 
tyrannosaur, and maybe too fast. Moreover if an attack occurred it is hard 
to imagine a tyrannosaur failing to kill a thescelosaur.
