Species lists and why they're so darn difficult to make accurate!
It all started with that line in Jurassic Park III, didn't it? "InGen's list" was finally officially released in 2018 from the DPG website, showing every species that was on Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna. Based on that list, the dinosaurs present on Nublar in 1993 were:
- Brachiosaurus
- Compsognathus
- Dilophosaurus
- Gallimimus
- Herrerasaurus
- Parasaurolophus
- Triceratops
- Tyrannosaurus rex
- Velociraptor
That's a simple, easy number of 9 total species. Yes, there were additional species in embryo form in the cold storage room (such as Proceratosaurus), but they weren't present in the flesh, so I'm not counting them as inhabiting the island. Then we get to Isla Sorna, where we had:
- Baryonyx
- Brachiosaurus
- Carnotaurus
- Compsognathus
- Dilophosaurus
- Edmontosaurus
- Gallimimus
- Mamenc…
Biosyn Magnet Size Chart
This is just for funsies, don't take it seriously because I don't think the people who made the magnet did either.
The magnet is befuddling. It says 10 meters at 9 lines up, then 20 meters at 18 lines up, then 30 meters at 24 lines up, but has a different set of dinosaurs between each benchmark. Each line cannot be 1 meter because 9 =/= 10. If you divide 10 by 9, you get 1.11 meters/3.6 feet. Let's try to run with that and use the dinosaurs that line up with the lines (meaning they don't fall short or go above even by a small amount).
Stegosaurus: At the top of the plates, that would make the animal 4.4 meters/14.5 feet tall. That doesn't match the 5 meters/16.4 feet on Dinotracker or the JWFK ILM size chart.
Sinoceratops: At the top of the f…

Camp Cretaceous timeline
Camp Cretaceous has been pretty ambiguous about its timeline in-universe. We know the beginning and (current) ending dates because they're direct tie-ins with JW and the opening of JWFK. However, we don't really know much beyond that. Here I'll be trying to piece together the timeline using the show and interviews from Scott Kreamer and Colin Trevorrow.
Season 1: Happens during the 2015 JW incident
Season 2: Begins "a couple of days later"
And that's all I have so far for the overall timeline, but I'll try to get more in-depth later on when my schedule permits.
