Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying: Difference between revisions

* There is this very obscure, very low-quality board game sold in Hungary that goes by the name ''Küzdelem a dinoszauruszok földjén'' (Battle in the Realm of the Dinosaurs). Has only a handful of pictures, all of which contain horrible depictions of [[Stock Dinosaurs]]—one ''Brachiosaurus'' with a backwards knee, and one with shorter forelegs than back legs, standing as erect as a human; toothed, bat-winged ''Pteranodon''s with the bat fingers sprouting from the ''back'' of the wings; and gigantic, scaly ''Velociraptor''s with ''Therizinosaurus''-like claws. In short, it is the board game equivalent of "Chinasaurs" (see lower).

* Presumably the creative team that works at ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' thought that when they named [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=447321 Gigantosaurus], they were just making up a theropod, and didn't bother to check if there was a real dinosaur by that name. But Gigantosaurus is the name of a real species of dinosaur, and it is a sauropod, not a theropod. The [https://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=448164 french translation] of the card says Gigan'''o'''tosaurus, which is a theropod.

* The ''[[Tekken]]'' character Alex is a predatory dinosaur living alongside humans the 20th Century. However, he was genetically engineered from fossils by scientists, partially averting this trope as Alex is more Genetic Abomination than Dinosaur.

* The ''[[Dino Crisis]]'' series likes to play [[Art Major Biology]] with the dinosaurs it features.
