"Members of the family including the modern plane tree (Platanus) are a relatively primitive group of flowering plants that first appeared in the mid-Cretaceous. Erlingdorfia is less common in the upper layers of Hell Creek but can be easily recognized by its distinct leaves shaped like Tyrannosaurus footprints."

Concept art for Erlingdorfia montana
Erlingdorfia montana belongs to the Platanaceae, known as the plane tree family. Its leaves are notorious for vaguely resembling the ones from the modern maple tree (to which Erlingdorfia is not closely related). Its saplings were eaten by herbivores such as Anatosaurus, Triceratops and Denversaurus.
