Pretty crazy.
Chemical analysis of the shell showed that ocean temperatures were warmer in the Late Cretaceous than had been thought, reaching a toasty 104 degrees Fahrenheit in summer and more than 86 degrees during winter. The summer high temperatures probably approached the physiological limits for mollusks, de Winter said.

Days were a half-hour shorter when dinosaurs roamed the Earth 70 million years ago
70 million years ago, the Earth turned faster than it does today, rotating 372 times a year, compared with the current 365.
