Added DiffLines:

* MorePredatorsThanPrey: AvertedTrope. As far as we see, in the Permian lands on the other side of the Anomaly, there's an entire herd of plant-eating ''Scutosaurus'', and there's also a flock of plant-eating ''Coelurosauravus'', but there's only one meat-eating Gorgonopsid.

Seldom Seen Species is no longer a trope.

* AnachronismStew: An in-universe example. Cutter and Tom discover an abandoned campsite and human remains in the Permian, indicating that they weren't the first people to find the anomaly.



* BirdPoopGag: A non-bird version of this happens to Lester when the team is chasing Rex around the Home Office.



* FakeFirstKiss: Claudia introduces herself to Cutter by kissing him in order to drive off a drunk who wouldn't stop hitting on her.

Added DiffLines:

* StealingTheCredit: Expecting it to make him rich and famous, Connor acts like he's the one who discovered the Scutosaurus when it was actually Abby.
* SuperPersistentPredator: The Gorgonopsid is able to track Ben down from the scent of a single drop of blood. It first tries to attack him in his bedroom, and the next day tracks him down at school.

Added DiffLines:

* AdultsAreUseless: Poor Ben gets this twice. First, his mother somehow remains oblivious to the sounds of the Gorgonopsid attack coming from his room, and blames him for trashing it. Then the next day, his teacher ignores Ben's warnings about the creature being on school grounds, and nearly lets it into the classroom when she opens the door to investigate the roars coming from the hallway.


Added DiffLines:

* CarFu: Stephen uses this to incapacitate the Gorgonopsid.

Added DiffLines:

Professor Nick Cutter isn't too pleased when one of his students, Connor Temple, comes to him gushing about some mysterious creature caught on grainy CCTV - but changes his mind when he learns it's in the Forest of Dean where his wife Helen vanished eight years ago. Upon investigating, they find Abby Maitland, a zoologist who's been contacted about a strange flying lizard found by a schoolboy. Their search leads them to a wormhole (an "anomaly") which has appeared out of nowhere, leading to a Permian desert from 250 million years ago.

And something bigger than a lizard has got through ...
