** Not to mention how the oldest known ''butterfly'' fossil doesn't crop up until 55 million years ago. For the butterfly-lineage-wipeout-changes-timeline phenomenon to work, Eckels would've had to step on a moth.

** The date to which the safari expedition travels is given as roughly 60 million years BC. Judging by modern radiometric dating methods (which were less developed at the time the story was written), this date should've taken Eckels to the early Paleocene rather than the late Cretaceous, and as such his ''T. rex'' quarry should already be 5-6 million years extinct.

* ScienceMarchesOn: It is claimed that sauropod dinosaurs have a second brain in their tail, therefore they're harder for the hunters to kill. This was a fairly widespread belief based on the so-called "sacral brain" in larger dinosaur species, though it's been debunked in the past century.

* ScienceMarchesOn: It is claimed Travis mentions that sauropod some dinosaurs have a second brain in their tail, therefore they're harder for two brains: besides the hunters to kill. This regular one, apparently they had another one farther down the spinal cord, near the hips, which isn't true; it was a fairly widespread belief based on an old theory based on the so-called "sacral brain" wide holes in larger those dinosaurs' hip vertebrae—bigger, in some cases, than the brain case. In reality, most terrestrial vertebrates' spinal cords are thicker where more motor control is needed, like with using large limbs, such as hindlimbs. The confusion is compounded in some dinosaur species, though fossils because nerves might not be the only thing filling up the holes in their spines. One theory is that it could've been filled with another organ called a "glycogen body", which birds (dino descendants) today have, but it's been debunked in the past century.still very unclear what that organ does.
