Art has to be examined in three lenses: inspirations, intent, and perception.

The original inspiration is the novel which says "Corinthosaur."

Then you have the script which was, yes, 'Corinthosaur.'

Then you have the film where almost every instance of 'Corinthosaur' changed to 'Parasaurolophus.'

Preception is: Parasaurolophus is seen alive and running and a 'Corythosaur' was shown in the rolodex. The argument seems moot to me: both animals are on the island. By goof or intent, both animals are listed as "expected" species. This is then verified in JP3 with the showcasing of live Corythosaurs.

I mention the script to explain WHY Roland is saying "car-cor-Carina" and then "The one with the red horn. The pompadour: Elvis!" which makes me wonder if that line didn't make more sense with the Corythasaur given a "pompadour" description. I also mention it to show that nearly every instance was changed to Parasaurolophus (possibly as late as the ILM stage) except the Dino-Dex but since there IS NO SUCH THING as a Corinthosaur, the animal shown in it is a Corythosaur.

I'm not sure I understand the continued disagreement on the topic however. So you're saying that Corythosaurus was to be in place of Parasaurolophus until late in the development cycle in the film particularly when ILM was making the CGI dinosaurs, is that right? I don't quite understand what you mean by "ILM stage".
