* [[All Animals Are Dogs]]: With a Hyaenodon, no less. Innes even ''calls'' it a dog!

* [[Beneath the Earth]]
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]
* [[Canon Welding]]: The fourth book, ''Tarzan at the Earth's Core,'' quite clearly defines the [[Tarzan]] and Pellucidar novels as part of the same continuity, with the usual heroes teaming up with Tarzan and his allies for a [[Crossover]].
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]
* [[Culture Clash]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: David Innes.
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]
* [[Drill Tank]]: The "iron mole".
