You have some good points. To start off, I believe that the scarred raptor leader survived until Masarani came in to build, to which the raptors attacked the workers but were quickly killed, or even if not, learning from Hammonds mistakes, they were likely hunted down by ACU and terminated in order to keep the safety of the park. I don't think the Brachiosaurs died off because apparently they live for 200+ years so chances are they're still alive. The blue strip differences could be them simply putting the genes of other animals into their Brachiosaurus' to make them stand out. Metricanthosaurus would have had to become a scavenger. While it may have been a hunter before, there is no way it could hunt Parasaurolophus, Ticeratops, Stegosaurus, and Brachiosaurus and compete with all of those other carnivores. I don't believe Deinonychus is in the park because Owan was training velociraptors for either an exhibit or military purposes, heck maybe even both. Elaphrosaurus may not be well known but remember that it's not like they could choose what dinosaurs they can put into a park, they have to dig through DNA and hope that they can get a T-Rex. It's all a random chance. Remember that Segisaurus and Proceratosaurus from the original park weren't that well known. Ask anyone on the street what Segisaurus or Proceratosaurus is and I bet 9 times out of 10 they don't know what they are. The same would go for Metricanthosaurus. Dinosaurs are dinosaurs, either way it'll attract millions to see a new one in the park. So Elaphrosaurus could be in the park.

A question I would like to know is why weren't the dinosaurs sliced into Indominus in the park? Up I mean Gigantosaurus, Carnotaurus, and Therizinosaurus all are famous dinosaurs and would attract so many people. And Majungasaurus and Rugpos are pretty big carnivores, which people seem to love. They weren't even on the holoscope so why aren't they in the park? You have good points, too. But there are some issues.

About the Scarred Raptor and her subordinates, I agree that it is likely they had been killed by ACU when Masrani decided to built Jurassic World. However don't you think Troodons would have followed the same fate? I agree that they are cool (actually Troodon is my favourite dinosaur), but I don't think they would have keep alive by Masrani, considering they were even more dangeourus than the Raptors. Though we'll never know what really happened to them, I strongly believe both the Scarred Raptor Leader's pack and the Troodons were killed. Compsognathus have a better chance to have been left alive in the restricted Area, but I'm not really sure about them. Actually, the encyclopedia from the DVD states Brachiosaur's maximum age is 200 years. However it is still possible Brachiosaurs died because of diseases. Their immune system could have been unsuitable to fight modern virus and bacteria and this would also explain why new clones had blue strip: new genes were inserted to them to improve their immune system and caused the strip. Remember that we can't know what Deinonychus would look like. Deinonychus was smaller than Velociraptor and it is possible it was even less intelligent. We know much about this dinosaur. Instead we know little or nothing about Elaphrosaurus, we aren't even sure about its classification and diet. What I'm saying is that I do think Elaphrosaurus was recreated by InGen, however scientists would have studied it for years before putting it in the park. Also for Jurassic Park InGen made a selection: they recreated several dinosaurs on Isla Sorna, but only put 15 in the park. This was probably because they chose the most interesting dinsoaurs. So the obscure Segisaurus, Proceratosaurus and Metriacanthosaurus were probably considered more interesting than the well-known Mamenchisaurus and Ankylosaurus.

I agree that it is strange dinosaurs whose DNA was used to create I. rex aren't in the park. Maybe scientists feared they could grow older, so decided to keep them in the restricted Zone for a specified time period.

Instead I have another question: why Suchomimus was on InGen's List? On Isla Sorna Dinosaurs were cloned before 1993 and Suchomimus was found in 1998, so how is this possible? I see why the troodons would have been killed, the only evidence against that is the LEGO game, which has them in the Restricted Zone, although I do realize that it isn't canon so chances are they died. I see your point with the Brachiosaurus and that is my favorite dinosaur and it would be terrible for me to admit that they died out and was recreated even though that was most likely the case. We could debate forever as to who is the last carnivore in the park, in the end there's no real way to prove it. Remember that Elaphrosaurus would be genetically altered to what they think Elaphrosaurus looked like and Alan Grant stated that the dinosaurs were theme park monsters created to resemble what they think dinosaurs looked like at the time and I'm sure scientists would understand that as well, as it would only be exactly what they'd expect it to be, so studying it wouldn't be the ideal thing for them to do as they would learn very little from it.

The Suchomimus thing I never realized until now lol good eye! I'd think that they created the dinosaur not knowing what it is, likely thinking it was Baryonyx related. When the dinosaur was discovered, they went public. The other option is that in this universe Suchomimus was discovered by InGen recreating it and later fossil records came up. How weird would it be to create a dinosaur and not know what species it is? And another weird thing is how weird would it be to have Baryonyx, Suchomimus, and Spinosaurus, all living on Isla Sorna or Cretaceous Cruise, meeting up? I mean in a way they somewhat evolved into each other. I think it would be a weird thing to see.
