The Test of Time
A Novel by I. MacPenn


Dr. Tom Holtz and Dr. Michael K. Brett-Surman
answer dinosaur questions for the readers of ZoomDinosaurs.com
:



Hello again, I have another question in the movie Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus is shown small but in a book i read it was about 20 ft long and weighed up to a ton. Who is right? Or was it not an adult yet?
from Lee.B, age 14, Terre Haute, Indiana, United States; July 23, 2001

TOM: The movie Dilophosaurus was poorly done. The head was wrong (they used a modified version of the T. rex head), there is no evidence for a frill or poision in Dilophosaurus, and it was far too small. Real Dilophosaurus was indeed much larger (22 feet or more).

Although the movie makers *could* argue that it was only a youngster, almost every other dinosaur they showed was supposed to be an adult.
