Inaccuracies[edit]
- Saltopus is no longer considered a dinosaur, but rather a dinosauriform
- The reconstructions of certain dinosaurs (such as Oviraptor and Velociraptor) 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
- 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 are no longer believed to have butted heads like goats
- Anatosaurus is no longer a valid genus
- The scales of Stegosaurus and Triceratops are oversized
- The shields of ceratopsians are no longer believed to have been used for defense
- Palaelodus ambiguus is reconstructed with an incorrect head
- The illustrations of Zygorhiza and Basilosaurus do not have vestigial fins
- Ericiolacerta is shown with a skull similar to that of Regisaurus as well some information in the book applies more to Regisaurus than to Ericiolacerta
