    Some dinosaurs ate various cycads that existed at that time. Not necessarily species in the genus Cycas.

    I would be interested in a lot of this info as well if anyone can contribute! More specifically the Cretaceous era (145.5-65.5 mya)

    In response to the query - this may help: Fossil Cycads
