What was the environment like during the cretaceous time period?

During the Late Cretaceous there was a warm global climate with ice-free poles. About one-third of the earth's present land area was submerged, allowing heat from the sun to be distributed farther poleward by ocean currents and producing a climate in which cold-blooded reptiles existed worldwide. Fossil ferns and cycads found in Cretaceous arctic rock are similar to plants growing today in subtropical rain forests.

The Cretaceous Period was hot and dry.

What kind of food can you eat in the cretaceous period?
In the Cretaceous Period, small things like Ginkgos could be edible, and common things you could find along elongated coastlines, such as shellfish, and even small breeds of fish. (I am not positive they were in the Cretaceous Period) You could also eat small ferns, as they could be weak if they were young, and provide a tasty tea when boiled.
What was the dominant animal of the cretaceous period?
Early Paleozoic is pretty long time, so you have to be more specific about that. Probably one of the most dominant creatures that ever evolved was Anomalocaris (from Cambrian period). Most of the animals from that time couple of inches long, while Anomalocaris was 2 meters long. Also giant scorpions, like world famous Jaekelopterus rhenaniae were also top predators of it's days.
