They no doubt found something. And the location is well documented: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Creek_Formation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Creek_Formation
We've all been told that fossils are dated by the layer of rock that they are in, and the layer of rock is dated by the fossils that they contain. I've always found that hard to believe. Especially in the case of Hell Creek, where supposedly an entire large area of 65+million year old rock has just been sitting in the open sun light for the last several thousand years. Interesting at least. Perhaps I need to make a trip there and see for myself.

I've always found that hard to believe. AIUI prehistoric dates are corroborated by radioisotopic dating, similarly to using C14 for much more recent dates.
