The holotype specimen assigned to Nanuqsaurus comes from the Maastrichtian age Prince Creek Formation. At an age of 71–68 million years ago, the Kikak-Tegoseak Quarry region Prince Creek Formation dates to the early Late Maastrichtian. An average age found in dating rocks from the formation is 69.1 ± 0.3 million years ago, so it is likely that Nanuqsaurus is from around that age. The formation is along the Colville River on the North Slope Borough, and is made up of alluvial sediments. It is one of a few dinosaurs to live at very high-latitude areas.
Nanuqsaurus lived alongside many other dinosaurs in the Prince Creek formation region during the Edmontonian faunal stage in a climate that was around 10 to 12°C during summer months and -2°C ± 3.9°C during the winter months.Other animals alongside Nanuqsaurus include an unnamed leptoceratopsid, the hadrosaurid Edmontosaurus (similar to E. regalis), an unnamed lambeosaurine, an unnamed thescelosaurine (mentioned to be similar to Parkosaurus and Thescelosaurus), an unnamed orodromine (mentioned to be similar to Orodromeus), the ceratopsid Pachyrhinosaurus perotorum, the pachycephalosaurid Alaskacephale, a large troodontid referred to the dubious genus Troodon, the dromaeosaurid Dromaeosaurus, the dromaeosaurid Richardoestesia (similar to R. isosceles), an unnamed saurornitholestine, an unnamed ornithomimosaur, and multiple avialans. In contrast to the contemporary large herbivores Edmontosaurus and Pachyrhinosaurus, which apparently preferred coastal lowland and upland environments respectively, Nanuqsaurus appears to have been fairly ubiquitous throughout the Prince Creek landscape
GOOD LUCK!
Nanuqsaurus's species code is 881
