Say that Fast Biters, T-Rexes, Belly Draggers, Spinosauurs, Gigantosaurus, Sharp Beaks, etc, were to join forces and attack the Great Valley together. Would the Combined Herd be able to fight off this Combined Pack?
I mean, true, their teamwork would help them, but what if the other side was Sharpteeth and also were skilled at teamwork too?

Why would there be such a pack to begin with?
It would bring awful problems for the sharpteeth involved at no real benefit. Much as we humans love war and battles and conquering etc. (which seems to be the only reason for such a setting) I really don't see how such concepts would enter the mind of LBT dinosaurs. Huge group of sharpteeth would have a much more difficult time to find enough prey to live from. Even if they had the kind of mass killing battle which is at the core of this thought (and which would be an unnecessary risk compared to going for singular stragglers from herds or the like) the corpses thus produced wouldn't last to sustain them long before rotting away. For the pray it would also be a lot easier to avoid a large pack of sharpteeth (nothing subtle and ambush enabeling in that).

There's a reason why in nature, you will usually find more prey than predators.

There is actually a facfiction story sort of about this. Here it is. (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9071921/1/Attack-Of-The-Pack)
