* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There were originally going to be six episodes of the show with the various stories arranged in chronological order, but two of them were cut and the final result had the stories arranged based on certain themes (eg: reproduction) rather than timeline. Among the known cut segments include one about [[UsefulNotes/PrehistoricLifeDinosaurs hadrosaurs]] (intended to [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] the all-too prevalent but highly flawed cliché that their sole purpose in life was to be weak and helpless meat for tyrannosaurs, but was ultimately deemed too bland to concentrate on), one on the [[https://www.facebook.com/dkrentz1/videos/10151158248511540 Early Cretaceous]] [[https://www.facebook.com/152670681536116/videos/10151262854586540/ Yixian Formation]] with ''Raptorex'', ''Psittacosaurus'', and the baby-dinosaur-eating mammal ''Repenomamus'', a story about the Triassic shellfish-eating reptile ''Henodus'', a story about the Early Cretaceous La Amarga Formation, a story with ''Iguanodon'' and the strange theropod ''Concavenator'', a story with a pair of the pachycephalosaur ''Prenocephale'' encountering [[http://vonshollywood.blogspot.com/2011/09/revo-outtake.html a mother therizinosaur that got injured in a forest fire]] (a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' and Freddy Krueger) and ''Alioramus'', a story featuring a feuding ''Dorygnathus'' and ''Dimorphodon'' (as well as a plesiosaur), a story about a young ''Albertosaurus'', a [[http://chasmosaurs.blogspot.com/2012/12/styracosaurs-in-love-and-war.html story]] about a herd of ''Styracosaurus'', a story featuring spinosaurids, a story with ''Megapnosaurus'', a story with ''Placodus'', ''Nothosaurus'', and ''Mixosaurus'', a story about a coelurosaur that finds itself and wreaks havoc on a hypothetical island with superpredatory sphenodonts and flightless pterosaurs, and the [[https://www.facebook.com/152670681536116/videos/413829268753588 Late Jurassic China story]] originally included the small ornithischian ''Agilisaurus'', the pterosaur ''Darwinopterus'' and the crested theropod ''Monolophosaurus''.

* The Brazilian pterosaur ''Anhanguera'', known from the Santana Group (specifically the Romualdo Formation), is shown living 125 million years ago (the Barremian-Aptian boundary), but the Santana Group has since been reevaluated as being late Aptian-early Albian in age (115-110 mya).

ScienceMarchesOn: It stood the test of time a lot better than many similar programs. Still, it didn’t escape this trope entirely:
** The discovery that mosasaurs likely had tail flukes and counter-shaded colorations was published just as the mosasaur models were finished up.


Added DiffLines:

** ''Utahraptor'' is once again depicted as an oversized ''Deinonychus'', but later and more complete finds showed that it was considerably bulkier, with a more robust skull, a shorter tail, and a downward-curving jaw. Also, it and ''Cedarosaurus'' lived earlier than shown in this series, by around 10 million years.
** The ''Troodon'' that shows up in the final episode would more accurately be called ''Pectinodon'', as a 2017 study deemed the former a dubious genus, as well as a wastebasket taxon.
** ''Gigantoraptor'', known from the Iren Dabasu Formation, is shown as a contemporary of the mammal ''Zalambdalestes'', which lived during the upper Campanian (75-72 mya). While the age of Iren Dabasu has been heavily debated for many years, a 2018 study, based on U–Pb, paleomagnetic and biostratigraphic analyses, determined that its rocks date to the Cenomanian-Turonian (96-90 mya).
