Hadrosaurus! Carinthosaurus! Maiasaurus!

And in the script closer to the film:

BACK ON THE SNAGGER,

Dieter, rifle in hand, drops down into the passenger seat, whips a harness over himself and CLICKS it into place.

He jabs his thumb into a flashing red button in the dashboard.

Immediately, a motor underneath the seat HUMS to life and the seat itself telescopes, extending a good four feet out to the side of the speeding jeep.

Dieter raises the gun, picks a CARINTHOSAUR, a red-crested herbivore, from the rear of the fleeing herd and takes aim.

BANG!!

The carinthosaur staggers as a tranquilizer dart sticks in its let hindquarters.

44 UP ON RIDGE,

there is utter quiet. Nick and the others stare wordlessly at the spectacle below.

It's obvious that the Parasaur is left out and the Carinthosaur is in it's place. At what point the change was made, it's hard to say. There is even a mis-spelling of the name "Carninthosaur" at one point in the script.

This explains why Roland is instructing Deiter to catch a "cor-coryn..."

Also with the fact that the Veternarian Burke is speaking to has the Dino-Dex page for the Corinthosaur, it's clear it was "there." The script doesn't count in this instance. In this version of the script a Corythosaur is in the place of the Parasaur Elvis.
