Description
(This is a photo I found on a website linked to the Speculative Dinosaur Project. It features examples of extinct species from Spec.)

Acrotitan: Oligocene (Chattian) Neotropical saltasaurid. Amongst the largest and the last of the South American titanosaurs. [read more here:    web.archive.org/web/2007061109… ; also see grassbag]
Titanotarsus: Eocene (Lutetian-Priabonian) Australian/Antarctic titanosaur. Amongst the last sauropods found in Australia.
Sauropodimimus: Late Oligocene (Chattian) Asian lambeosaurid that attained enormous sizes. Last of the lambeosaurs, with the extinction of Sauropodimimus and it's kin, Asia was devoid of hadrosaurs until repopulated by stock from North America during the Late Pliocene.
Lycovenator: A plesiomorphic dromaeosaur from the Messel Shales - putative ancestor for the entire Tertiary Holarctic drak radiation. [read more here:    web.archive.org/web/2007061711…]
Saltotyrannus: This tiny, metre long tyrannosaur, also from the Messel Shales is considered by many to be the first true errosaurid (or at least a "proerrosaurid"). The superlative preservation of the Messel shows that this animal possessed the full body-covering of feathers present in its modern cousins.
Nanodon: The last of the South American neoabelisaurids from the Pliocene. Became extinct shortly after the invasion of northern predators across the Central American isthmus. [also see nanodon]
Monoceratops: One of many spectacular large North American protoceratopsians that died out in the Late Pleistocene. [read more here:        web.archive.org/web/2007061711…]
Pikodon: (Miocene) One of the last of the Australian torvodonts and the largest terrestrial predator even discovered. [read more here:    web.archive.org/web/2007061711… ]
Massosuchus: (Late Eocene) A European spinosaur with a peculiar arm/leg length ratio that suggests a quadripedal stance.
