There is no Suchomimus. Except in Warpath, which is not Film-canon. Grant is asking Billy how to classify it. Then makes the comment about Spinosaurus not being on the list after Grant clearly identifies it. People need to quit taking that literally, really. If Billy was naming dog breeds would as a potential guess would that imply a German Shepard is a species resurrected by InGen and living on Sorna?

Let me explain: Billy is making a classification guess of the animal that attacked the plane by basing off the physical characteristics of the animal. Suchomimus has a low sail and (like all Spinosaurids) a long snout. He goes through a list of animals that are POSSIBLE candidates and identifies them wrongly. For example, Baryonyx is "bigger" than Suchomimus in the scene. What it boils down to is that there is no evidence for Suchomimus to be there. After the identification Billy makes the offhand comment of Spinosaurus not being on InGen's List. In fact, Suchomimus wasn't even named until Sereno published his findings in 1998, long after InGen ceased operations on Isla Sorna. Therefore, even if the animal did get cloned (which there hasn't been proof for), it would be impossible for the name "Suchomimus" to appear on InGen's list. It would have been classified as a Baryonyx (which, according to Paul Sereno, Suchomimus is a species of). The point is, the initial conversation between Grant and Billy is an attempt to classify what they just saw based on physiology, but related comment is made. There are no implications to be had for Suchomimus being there. All Grant was trying to do was test Billy's knowledge of the subject he's currently studying, like all mentors do. The only reason Suchomimus was even brought up in the film was because Johnston parodying how the fans were arguing whether the logo dinosaur was Suchomimus or Baryonyx when the logos were first leaked.
