Description
The Hell Creek Ornithomimid "sedens". Initially named the Hell Creek "Ornithomimus" velox, there is increasing suspicion that this may be a separate taxon, more similar to Struthiomimus. Interestingly enough, this animal is massive, taller than most Allosaurus specimens at the hip, comparable to Gallimimus. There is one mount at the Los Angeles County Museum (LACM) and possibly another at the Oxford Museum.Here a father walks his 3 chicks through the forest floor.
Species included:
Ornithomimidae "sedens" adult male and chicks
Humulus sp.
Jugulans leconteana sapling
Osmundaceae sp. leaves
Ficus sp. leaves and twigs
Platanites marginata
disclaimer: ignore the signature date, actually 2017. My brain just hasn't adjusted to the new year yet

I wonder what a good common name for this creature would be. How fast would it be?

Very nice! Shame I haven't followed you yet while you've been following me. Do we know how long "sedens" would have been? Gallimimus length?

Being a LA County resident, it bothered me how massive that mount of "Ornithomimus" was. I was convinced it was a different animal.

Holy crap! An ornithomimid bigger than many allosaurus? Why have I not heard of this animal yet? This is why I love Hell Creek

Nice that you also gave attention to the flora. It's hard sometimes to find which plant species were present in which formation.
Also nice that you give some feathers that are sticking out more detail to show they're not simple filaments, I should do that too.

I tend to just add "generic fern" or "generic palmetto" because I can't be bothered to do extensive research on plant life.

I find it an important thing that most seem to look over in palaeoart. Plants matter a lot in their ecosystems.
It's hard to find good info about them though...

You seem to know your plants well enough, I'm trying to steer away from my current ''generic conifer, generic fern, generic bush''. Do you know of any good sources to begin with this sort of stuff?

Well, depends on the formation. I'm familiar with a lot of Hell Creek plants because I've worked with them a lot. But. I do have to look up the papers that describe the formation they are from. Or go to a museum and look at some of the casts or imprints themselves.
Another option is knowing some experts and contacting them. Even a simple Facebook post asking for such things work.
Hope me this helps.
