Here's a list of what D.I.G. readers have found so far....

Oviraptors shown stealing eggs. The modern view is that Oviraptors did not steal eggs. In fact, they may have been misnamed! New evidence shows that they actually protected eggs. The first idea came from only one, partial fossil. (June 3, 2000)
 

Lemurs as seen in the movie didn't really exist for another 40 million years or so.  (June 3, 2000)

Grass - Grass wasn't, well, invented yet! Grass as we know it didn't appear until long after the Cretaceous.  (June 3, 2000)

The Iguanodonts had lips OVER their beaks.  (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)

The film placed Carnotaurus and Iguanodon TOGETHER, while one lived in North America and Europe and the other in South America, not to mention Oviraptor and Velociraptor from  Mongolia. (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)

Most of the main dinosaurs, with the exception of some of the ornithomimosaurs/ceratopsians, were EARLY Cretaceous or JURASSIC fauna,
while the movie was set at the K/T boundary (like Carnotaurus and Iguanodon were Early Cretaceous, and Brachiosaurus was Jurassic) (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)

They had a weird flying lizard thing that looked like Longisquama, which was Paleozoic I think, placed along with dinosaurs in the Mesozoic Era (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)

The "carnotaurs" were too large and Disney "muscled" up their faces to make them look more dramatic (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)

The velociraptors didn't have feathers! ..arg... (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)

The ankylosaur, Url, had inaccurate head horns (they were too large and droopy and looked like dog ears), and he had a weird slobbery tongue (not entirely impossible I suppose...) (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)
 
Some of the dinosaurs' proportion was off, but I think that was to make them more human-like and/or cartoonish. (Chandler)  (June 3, 2000)

The dinosaurs talked!  (June 3, 2000)

Now that YOU have seen the film please write and tell us what other differences you've found  between the characters in the movies and real, paleontologically correct dinosaurs or animals or events in history. Do you think these are bloopers or what?

We'll publish your "factoid" and your name (if you'd like).
