in jurassic park they feature a dilophasaurus (sp?) though the portrayal of this dinosaur was completely false (they were as you know im sure, much taller, did not spit venom, nor had a frill) isn't this species from the jurassic period?
You're correct. They're from the early jurassic.
As for movie dinosaur size. The director wanted the predators to be larger so they're present better on film. When the 1st movie was filming, velociraptors were only known to be half the movie depiction's size. Shortly after Robert Bakker left the production as a consultant, a friend of his discovered Utahraptor wyomingensis which matched the size of the raptors in the movie.

HAHA so it's like Hollywood invented it, and then it actually ended up existing anyway! wow. I always thought the raptors in the movie seemed to resemble a dionicus (sp?) I figured the name "raptor" was more bad *** and easier to market and thats why they chose to call it that lol.
Wow Oddball this is amazing! But how on earth do you find all these fossils? I've always wanted to find dinosaur fossils.
