Re: [dinosaur] North American Land Vertebrate Ages



I'm not sure if there are any, someone who knows more should supersede my answer with some more detailed info, but I think the practice is that these ages apply across the entire continent. There isn't much of a well-studied Cretaceous terrestrial fossil record from Appalachia during the Cretaceous. This paper https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/45a5/84d4aa4d48fcc96f9cf8340685529a4f4a59.pdf doesn't use the NALVAs, probably purposely as they aren't super informative in the Appalachian (dinosaur) context.
