*** Pteranodon is said to live 70 million years ago, when it lived 83 million years ago.
*** Dilophosaurus did not live 220 million years ago, as the label for a Matisse-inspired piece states, nor was that date part of the Early Jurassic period.
* Excuse Plot: The book’s introduction contains reference to an art collector who assembled a now-lost collection of the paintings, but that’s forgotten about in favour of presenting the parade of each art piece.
* Pastiche: Of various pieces of art from throughout history done In The Style Of… different artists from the Renaissance onwards.

* "The Scream" Parody: “The Scream” is among the works pastiched, where an unnamed troodont fans it wings, its head mimicking the shape of the Scream’s head.
