This has been an amusing speculation over the years, and not just
restricted to the Mesozoic. There are some very strange fossils from an
Eocene locality in Europe (South American anteaters????). HOWEVER, any
well-established hominid culture leaves a _lot_ of trash lying
about--e.g., stone tools are almost indestructable. That sort of thing
would have been relatively easy to detect over the last 600 MY.
