The book Saurian: A Field Guide to Hell Creek, suggests that this alvarezsaurid will not be included in the game due to its fossils being found in Montana and not Bone Butte, in South Dakota. The book states ”Alvarezsaurid (right) remains are known from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana.” In the chapter “Introduction“, it states that the field guide will focus in South Dakota in the area known as Bone Butte, for which Trierarchuncus is absent.
