* [[Shorttank]]: Cera.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: For the time, and remember it was twenty-odd years ago and the complete remains of some of the featured species (especially Tyrannosaurus) hadn't been found yet, this was ''the'' most accurate dinosaur movie ever made (ignoring the [[Talking Animal]] issue of course). Even today, the care put into the film is impressive.
* [[Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying]]: While the opening narration gets "Before the [[Stock Dinosaurs Non Dinosaurs|mammoth and the mastodon]]" right, that's basically the extent of accuracy in this regard. While most of the species in the film are from the Late Cretaceous of North America, Littlefoot (an ''[[Stock Dinosaurs True Dinosaurs|Apatosaurus]]'') and Spike (a ''[[Stock Dinosaurs True Dinosaurs|Stegosaurus]]'') are both Jurassic. While Littlefoot and family could be ''[[Useful Notes/Prehistoric Life /Sauropods|Alamosaurus]]'', a sauropod from the proper time and place, there's no excuse for Spike's appearance. Plus, an even older ''[[Stock Dinosaurs Non Dinosaurs|Dimetrodon]]'' is encountered halfway through the film.
* [[Species Surname]]: A variation, in that the dinosaurs' words for each other are usually derived from their scientific names. For example, Triceratops = Three Horn
* [[Strange Syntax Speaker]]: Ducky and Petrie.
