My major problems are with the sidebar:
_Koolasuchus_ is an amphibian, not a dinosaur.
_Peteinosaurus_ is a pterosaur, not a dinosaur.
Can't think just what _Steropodon_ is, but it ain't a dinosaur.
"_Torasaurus_", I assume, should be _Torosaurus_.
If you're only giving names of genera, please simply write _Tyrannosaurus_;
if you're going to write _Tyrannosaurus rex_, please include species names
for the rest as well.
Cynodont, shark, and squid should not be italicized.
_Polacanthus_ is a dinosaur.
I'm also surprised that there was no mention of the lack of
feathery/fluffy/otherwise non-scaly integument on the dinos (though I suppose
creating such an integument would have been hugely difficult with a computer).
All in all, a nice read.
