Velafrons lived alongside small mammals, lizards, turtles and other dinosaurs.

Sampson said the remains of a horned dinosaur related to Triceratops also were found, as was evidence that a big meat-eater related to Tyrannosaurus was on the prowl. Many of the dinosaur bones are covered with fossilized snails and clams, indicating these animals lived near the shore.
