Many books and documentaries say that grass was not around when the dinosaurs were. But fossils from India show that it was around during the Cretaceous. While not common, grass was present when dinosaurs were around. Now the question is, did dinosaurs eat grass? Well, the answer is yes. Sauropod coprolites were also found in India and they have fossil grass in them. Other herbivores likely ate grass when possible as well. Hadrosaurs and ceratopsians could chew their food and likely had no trouble eating grass. Many say that dinosaurs could not survive today because they could not eat grass. It seems like they could. While not as common as it is today, grass was present during the dinosaur era.

Nigersaurus seemed adapted to eat ground food, with its very short neck and vacuum-like head. True grass was around starting at the end of the cretaceous but somewhat grass-like plant life was around starting in the late Jurassic.

Yeah, I just thought it was an interesting subject.

I imagine that there was indeed grass, but during the initial explosion from the asteroid, it would have been disintegrated, burned, or horribly mangled but still in fragile pieces that would have been broken sooner or later, with india being shielded by the himalayas (please excuse me if i'm wrong, i have a hard time with canadian geography as is... ) thus protecting much of the grass left behind...
Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way
