"Unlike the redwood and swamp cypress groups, the rest of the cypress family (Cupressaceae, which includes junipers and true cypress), are somewhat more recent in their evolutionary history. However, their ancestors were present in the Cretaceous. In Hell Creek, one representative exists: Ditaxocladus catenulatus. This taxa has been known by multiple names in the past, including "Fokienia catenulata" and "Fokienopsis catenulata"."
― Saurian: A Field Guide to Hell Creek
Ditaxocladus catenulatus was a member of the cypress family of trees and it lived in Hell Creek. It is notorious for prefering drier regions of the floodplain, when compared to other relatives. It is believed to be a reliable food source for herbivores, like Anatosaurus.
