Inaccuracies[]
- Saltopus is no longer considered a Dinosaur, but rather a dinosauriform
- The reconstructions of certain dinosaurs (such as Oviraptor and Velocirapror) would have shown them with feathers
- Teratosaurus is no longer considered a Dinosaur, but rather a rauisuchian
- Spinosaurus is illustrated with a skull similar to Tyrannosaurus then to Baryonyx
- Also, Baryonyx would be considered in the family Spinosauridae, it didn't have its own family Baryonychidae
- Sauropods didn't raise their necks in the traditional swan-like fashion
- Dinosaurs like Pachycephalosaurus didn't butt heads like goats
- Anatosaurus isn't a valid genus
- The scales of Stegosaurus and Triceratops are over-sized
- The shields of ceratopsians were not used for defense
- Palaelodus ambiguus is reconstructed with an incorrect head
- The illustrations of Zygorhiza and Basilosaurus do not have vestigial fins
