Speaking of the modern world and larger xiphosaurs, what other types of dinosaurs made it into the Holocene in your project?

Quite a few. Oviraptorosaurs are a stand out success story, as are the beaked Rhynchrostran Troodontans. Novoceratopsians are still present, as are Xiphosaurids, Presidioceratids, Thescelosauroids, Dromaeosaurs and gracile Alioramoid Tyrannosaurs. Australia and Madagascar have totally different faunas however.

I see. Although, what Holocene creatures can we expect to find on Australia and Madagascar? I know that marsupials and primates will have a strong foothold in Australia and Madagascar respectively, but other creatures can we expect to find as well? Giant birds? Cursorial crocodiles? Large mammals? Late surviving noasaurs?

Yeah now that you mention it, it is a little similar. They will later become large sprinting grazers living out on the open plains.

You’re quite right! Modern Xiphosaurids are quite large, up to 8m long, and all have some sort of cranial horn used for display and communication. They fulfill a vaguely horse like role out on the open plains.
