But, as you say, it would be similar. Not a perfect recreation of a Corythosaurus. We will never know if the new Corythosaurus is 100% similar with the Mesozoic one. However, if you look at humans you can see that there is a MASSIVE variation between human populations in behaviour and biology. That variation becomes even greater if you include all the extinct species within the Homo genus. The same was true for the Corythosaurus genus. The recreated Corythosaurus would be different, but probably fall within natural variation. It would just be a new species in the Corythosaurus genus.

If I would put two skeletons next to each other. One being a Corythosaurus skeleton excavated from Mesozoic rock layer. The other a skeleton of a Jurassic PArk animal. Image that the two skeletons were identical. If a tour guide or skeptic would say, well the left IS a Corythosaur skeleton and the right is NOT a Corythosaur skeleton, I (and most people) would not buy it.
