Dawn of the Archosaurs -
Oxford Clay -
Time of Giants -
Ocean Wonders -
Titans of Tanzania -
Lost Canyon -
Land of the Hadrosaurs - 
Barun Goyot -
Arctic Prince -
Hell Creek -

Will this feature some sphenodonts? (Because in the Mesozoic sphenodonts where extremely diverse)

Mayube.

I will think of any episodes. Is this a similar format to Walking with Dinosaurs? Focusing on animals in one specific locality?

Yes it is. I will also say that it will show a lot of dinosaur singing (hadrosaurs, cerotopsians, ankylosaurs, etc.). Also I added a couple more episodes.

How about Solnhofen Formation?
Good idea. I'll add that. Also can you find any good Tarchia references? I haven't had much luck with that.

Yeah, I'll try to find some tonight. I really can't wait to see this!

Balaur

Also, I do suggest a Triassic formation. I don't want the Triassic left out in the cold. :)
I am trying to find one right now.

He'll have inflatable skin sacs over his nostrils.

Oh yes definitely. Probably something showing the variety of archosaurs (excluding dinosaurs) and proto-mammals.

Balaur

Okay. Also, just let you know, the Solnhofen Formation has an interesting sphenodont, Oenosaurus muehleimensis. It is an aquatic one that feed on hard-shelled sea animals, like crabs and shellfsh.

Yutyrannus

I got the Triassic one: the Ischigualasto Formation. It will feature creatures like Ischigualastia, Aetosauroides, Ignotosaurus, Hyperodapedon, Saurosuchus, Eodromaeus, and Panphagia.

Oh, thanks! I'll definitely put him in. Also, any ideas for episode names?

How about, Land of the Hadrosaurs for the Dinosaur Provincial Park one.

I suggest "Dawn of the Archosaurs" for the Ischigualasto episode.
