Misplaced Wildlife: Archelon in New York (only known from the Western Interior Seaway - guess where it was), and Albertosaurus in California in the southern part of what is known as Laramidia, just to name two.

Anachronism Stew: Dimetrodon never lived 300 and 260 million years ago, Pteranodon never lived 110 million years ago (to be fair, the pterosaur wasn't named in-show), Ichthyosaurs never lived 80 million years ago, Dilophosaurus never lived 200 million years ago, and Parasaurolophus and Albertosaurus never lived 80 million years ago,

Artistic License – Paleontology
 Prehistoric / int_4c4bebf4
comment
Artistic License – Paleontology: The Dallas episode claims that Tylosaurus was "the largest of all mosasaurs". This is not the case since the namesake of the group, Mosasaurus, was larger. In the Dallas episode, the narrator says that Acrocanthosaurus could grow to thirty feet long; this is actually seven feet shorter than the actual animal was. In the Washington D.C episode the narrator also says that it could grow to over ten feet in height and over forty feet in length, which is way larger than the actual animal. Due to reusing the Astrodon model, the Apatosaurus has an inaccurate head shape.

Raptor Attack: Deinonychus (feathered improperly, but still feathered) takes down a Tenontosaurus (at least this is physically possible, unlike the same species trying to kill a sauropod).

Speculative Documentary
 Prehistoric / int_99d5e61f
comment
Speculative Documentary: Since dinosaur fossils were never found in Chicagoland, the producers had to speculate what dinosaurs lived there — they got around the problem by not stating specific species. The same is done with in Washington DC where Jurassic dinosaurs have never been found there. But using other places as evidence they assume that it would have had the same Jurassic Dinosaurs there as in any other part of the world.

Animals Not to Scale: The Postosuchus is so big it can eat a Coelophysis whole while the real animal was no where near big enough to do that.

Shown Their Work: The pterosaurs are shown with a covering of fuzz. The sauropods have their necks in the now accepted half vertical and half horizontal position. For once, Coelophysis is put in the right time of 200 million years ago instead of 220 million years ago.
