That sounds like one I saw on HBO around 1979. The characters had a machine that drilled into the ground and took them back in time somehow.

Check out For Want Of A Nail (alt title: Butterfly Effect). It's pretty much this trope - go back in time, accidentally kill one dinosaur, then return to your own time frame and the world has changed. Look at the list of works to see if anything pops out as it. Check the related pages too.

Gonna look it up, come back later to coment on my findings, thanks! The Tropes are not useful though... Maybe the film in question is just too old and too unknown for Tropers to have even seen it...

Azzizzi I can think of two films that might be the one with a drill machine, if you're looking for them. One is At The Earths Core, and the other is The Last Dinosaur.

Wikipedia has a list of time travel stories in works of fiction. Maybe looking through the TV shows and movies might help?

Erica, The Last Dinosaur sounds like the one I was thinking of. I don't know if it's the one the OP was looking for.

Sorry the wait, I was making sure I followed every lead in the links...

The Last Dinosaur has a premise very like it... but isn't (looking the stills and lacking the time travel stuff)

I looked up the stills of At Earths Core too, wasn't it tough...

In adittion to the wikipedia list, I found another one from other site... But no luck yet...

Any new lead I will follow, thanks!

This is probably not the show you were looking for but I found a show about dinosaurs and time travel, its called Terra Nova and its a more recent show.
