** Firstly the author seems to be suggesting {{spoiler|that the reason it had to be dinosaur "seed" with a human egg was that the shell was present from the start, when actually it's added by the mother's body later. And on a molecular level an unfertilized dinosaur egg would theoretically be very similar to an unfertilized human egg.}} |

** secondly {{spoiler|you never, '''''ever''''' incubate an egg underwater. Eggshell is what's known as a semi-permeable barrier. While a fetus is growing in an egg, air slowly seeps through the shell and forms a pocket for the chick to break into when it's ready to hatch. Incubate underwater and the chick drowns.}} |

* [[The Masquerade]]: The main source of conflict in the series. The dinosaurs have been camouflaging themselves as humans for as long as there have ever ''been'' humans. Therefore, the ruse must be kept at all cost; the remains of any deceased dinosaurs must be dissolved completely and any humans who see a dinosaur out of costume must be killed on sight. There are some fringe groups wondering if all this effort is worth it. |
