** Rugops was nowhere near 30 feet long but closer to 15 feet and its arms would have been much less developed. Though fossils of sympatric abelisaurids indicate that there were much larger taxa coexisting with ''Spinosaurus''.
** There is a lot of embellishment surrounding the show's depiction of ''Spinosaurus'', but its typical theropod anatomy was considered accurate at the time based on more complete relatives like ''Suchomimus''. But new finds between 2014 and 2020 revealed that ''Spinosaurus'' had very short legs and a paddle-shaped tail, cementing its status as an amphibious predator.

And it likely did not reach 60 feet (which were controversial, high-end estimates even back in the 2000s) but more like 45 to 50 feet.
** Entelodonts are referred to as relatives of pigs, but subsequent studies have recovered them as most closely related to hippos and whales.

** ''Paluxysaurus''
is almost certainly ''Sauroposeidon''.generally considered a synonym of the contemporary ''Sauroposeidon''.
** The ''Tylosaurus'' is depicted as rather lanky and with the classic, eel-like tails but discoveries made since then show that mosasaurs were more compact animals (akin to a whale) with crescent-shaped tail flukes (akin to sharks and ichthyosaurs).
