This is idea I pitched years ago, but here it is copy and pasted (obviously with Dominion and Camp Cretaceous, some of the info is obsolete/incomplete):
It would have been cool to see some of the dinosaur species's history in the franchise in the in-game InGen Database as the JP/JW lore is huge. Also, it would be informative to the players who aren't hardcore JP fans (heck even I didn't know about some of this info until I did some research). For example, imagine, for some reason, you haven't seen any of the movies and don't know what an Indominus Rex is. So, one day I was bored and made a little summary of some the dinosaur's history as it would sound like in the game's database. I got the information from the DPG website, the movies, the JP wiki, and made up about 5% of it. Sorry for any incorrect information or typos.
Mamenchisaurus
Several Mamenchisaurs were encountered by Peter Ludlow's team in 1997 on Isla Sorna. The Sauropods roamed the southern part of the island to avoid competition over food and territory with the Brachiosaurs. The animal was later said to have fallen back into extinction sometime in 2018 by the DPG.
Film Appearances: The Lost World
Metriacanthosaurus
The European theropod was intended for the original 1993 park; however, InGen had an incomplete genome (as revealed by 1996 InGen files). When Masrani reopened the park in 2004, he exhibited the animals in the Cretaceous Cruise. After the 2015 Isla Nublar incident, the species survived by hunting small herbivores in the dense jungle. However, introduced predators (such as Allosaurus and Carnotaurus) on Nublar increased the number of fatal interspecies confrontations and competition for prey, leading to the animal falling back into extinction.
Suchomimus
InGen files from 1996 state that the genome was 75% complete. No specimens were known to exist on Sorna or Nublar. However, Billy Brennan, a survivor of the 2001 Isla Sorna incident, confused the island's Spinosaur with the Suchomimus. When Masrani reopened the park in 2004, he cloned the animal and placed it alongside its cousin, the Baryonyx, in the Cretaceous Cruise. After the animals were left to themselves after the 2015 Nublar Incident, the Spinosaurids claimed territory along the river, feeding on fish. However, Mt. Sibo's ashfall was starving the water sources of oxygen, leading to declining fish populations. This placed Nublar's Spinosaurid community in danger. No Suchomimus were present on the roster of the Arcadia, meaning the animal most likely fell back into extinction.
Edmontosaurus
Edmontosaurus was originally bred on Sorna in the 1990s. When the island was abandoned by InGen the animal was hunted by Tyrannosaurs, quickly endangering the species’ population. When Masrani opened Jurassic World in 2004, it is unknown whether he got the few remaining specimens from Sorna or cloned completely new animals. The animal lived in the Gallimimus Valley. After the animals were left to fend for themselves, massive predation from Allosaurus and Carnotaurus packs, and the Island's Tyrannosaur led to the hadrosaur falling back into extinction. A skeleton of a specimen was viewable in Benjamin Lockwood’s manor; however, it is unknown if this was from an InGen clone.
Majungasaurus
InGen is known to have had DNA of this animal as it was used in the creation of the original Indominus Rex in 2015, possibly explaining the animal's cannibalistic traits.
Parasaurolophus
Cloned on Sorna and planned to be exhibited in the original Jurassic Park, 15 specimens were living along with the Brachiosaur population. After the 1993 Isla Nublar Incident, the Parasaur population herded with the Brachiosaurs for protection. However, Tyrannosaur attacks dwindled the population to 9 by the following year. In 1997, the hadrosaur was encountered by Ludlow’s team and was intended for Jurassic Park: San Diego. Again, the animal was shown to group with larger animals for protection as Parasaurs were often found near Mamenchisaurus herds. The animal was encountered again by survivors of the 2001 Isla Sorna Incident on the Northern part of Sorna, socializing with Corythosaurus, but often staying close to other species for protection, such as Stegosaurus or Brachiosaurus. When Masrani opened Jurassic World in 2004, he exhibited multiple Parasaurs in multiple attractions, including the Gyrosphere ride, Gallimimus Valley, and the Cretaceous Cruise. After the 2015 Isla Nublar Incident, the animal was quickly preyed upon by the island’s tyrannosaur and new introduced predators: carnotaurus and allosaurus. Several were rescued from the Island from Mt. Sibo’s eruption by Eli Mills’ operation, and now, they freely roam the continental United States.

Stegosaurus
Bred on Sorna, the Stegosaurus was never moved to the original Jurassic Park. A herd of Stegosaurs was encountered by Dr. Ian Malcolm and his team in 1997. Several Stegosaurs were intended for Jurassic Park: San Diego, but due to Nick Van Owen’s sabotage, the Stegosaurs remained on the Island. Later, the survivors of the 2001 Sorna incident saw several Stegosaurs in the Northern section of the island. When Masrani reopened the park, several Stegosaurs were moved to Isla Nublar. Adult specimens could be viewed from the Gyrosphere and the Cretaceous Cruise alongside multiple other herbivores. Rumors say Dr. Wu intended to make a “Stegoceratops” from the genome of this dinosaur along with a Triceratops. After the 2015 Isla Nublar Incident, the animal roamed free on the island. Several stegosaurs were saved from the island by Eli Mills’ operation, but now, they freely roam the continental United States. Some may have been purchased and shipped to unknown locations during Eli Mills’ auction.

Triceratops
Bred on Sorna, multiple Triceratops were moved to Isla Nublar for John Hammond’s Jurassic Park. Only a few animals were exhibited as violent dominance displays would take place among larger herds. Another habit of the animals included wallowing in dirt patches and mud pits, similar to modern-day rhinos. This swinish behavior led to the animals bluish-gray skin appearing brown, which caused many future reports to wrongly describe the InGen Triceratops as having brown skin. One sick Triceratops was encountered by the 1993 assessment team. Despite medical care from the park’s chief veterarian, Dr. Gerry Harding, the animal died. Some investigators of the 1993 Isla Nublar believe the Tyrannosaur to be the culprit of the dead herbivore due to large bite marks found on the carcass. A Triceratops was intended to be exhibited in Peter Ludlow’s Jurassic Park: San Diego, but due to Nick Van Owen’s sabotage, the animal rampaged through the camp, destroying most of the Hunter’s equipment. During the 2001 Isla Sorna Incident, the survivors saw a herd of Triceratops from Paul Kirby’s charter plane. When Jurassic World opened in 2004, several Triceratops were moved to Isla Nublar. Adults could be viewed from the Gyrosphere and in their own exhibit, Triceratops Territory. Rumors say Dr. Wu intended to make a “Stegoceratops” from the genome of this dinosaur along with a Stegosaurus. After the 2015 Isla Nublar Incident, however, triceratops were rescued from the Island by Eli Mills’ operation, and now, some freely roam the continental United States. Others may have been purchased and shipped to unknown locations during Eli Mill’s auction.

Spinosaurus
One of the most infamous dinosaurs that was not on InGen’s list, the Spinosaurus was apart of the controversial “Amalgam Testing” on Isla Sorna, which occurred 100 days after Masrani Global bought InGen and began to breed dinosaurs for “Jurassic Park’s second incarnation.” This was a violation of the Gene Guard Act of 1997 (passed in reaction to the San Diego Incident), which forbid any further prehistoric flora or fauna cloning of the company and restricted access to any island owned by InGen. Information surrounding the illegally bred species surfaced online during the 2015 inquiry via an anonymous hacker known as: JUR@55!_H@K3R, who published sensitive InGen documents. The new species (Anklyosaurus, Corythosaurus, Ceratosaurus, and Spinosaurus) were grown in secret on Isla Sorna and experimented on over a period of nine months. Afterwards, the animals were released in the wild and had a massive negative impact on the island’s ecosystem. The single Spinosaurus from the experiment, in particular, was incredibly violent, seeking out Tyrannosaur territories and killing them. During the 2001 Isla Sorna incident, the Spinosaurus was responsible for multiple human fatalities and the death of a subadult tyrannosaurus. Rumors state that the survivors were given “hush money” by officials in relation to the partial exposure of the illegal experiment. Years later, a Spinosaurus skeleton was on display on Jurassic World’s main street, but the whereabouts and status of Sorna’s Spinosaurus remain unknown.
Film Appearances: Jurassic Park 3
Gallimimus
Bred on Sorna, the animal was ready to be exhibited on Isla Nublar in the original Jurassic Park. The dinosaur’s enclosure featured a vast grassland for the Gallimimus to graze and flock. During the Isla Nublar incident of 1993, Dr. Grant, Lex Murphy, and Tim Murphy encountered a flock of Gallimimus attempting to evade the island’s Tyrannosaur. However, the carnivore managed to kill and eat one. After the incident, the population on Nulblar dropped drastically from 24 to 9 due to continued Tyrannosaur attacks. In 1997, several Gallimimus on Isla Sorna were intended for Jurassic Park: San Diego, but due to Nick Van Owen’s sabotage, the animals escaped. On Sorna, the Gallimimus roamed the Southern part of the island, socializing with other herbivores such as Parasaurolophus, Pachycephalosaurus, and Mamenchisaurus. When Jurassic World opened in 2004, several Gallimimus could be viewed in the Gallimimus Valley. The species roamed the island freely after the 2015 Isla Nublar Incident, and several were rescued from Mt. Sibo’s eruption. Now, they roam the continental United States.

Corythosaurus
Part of the illegal “Amalgam Testing,” the Corythosaurus was cloned in preparation for Jurassic World, but to public knowledge, was never moved to Isla Nublar. Instead, the animal herded with Parasaurolophus and often larger herbivores for protection. The survivors of the 2001 Isla Sorna incident encountered the animal while escaping a velociraptor pack. Because of Sorna’s high predator population the Corythosaurus population quickly dwindled, and due to the need for large population within Hadrosaur herds (for protection and nesting), the Corythosaurus soon fell back into extinction.
Film Appearances: Jurassic Park III
Brachiosaurus
Bred on Sorna to be exhibited in Jurassic Park, the Brachiosaurus was the first dinosaur the 1993 assessment team saw. The animal shared its Paddock with the Parasaurolophus. Six Brachiosaurs were present on the island during the incident. After the island was abandoned, the Brachiosaurs barely ventured past their paddock, and despite attempts of the island’s tyrannosaur to hunt them, only one Brachiosaur died due to a combination of malnutrition and an illness. Although, an “Operation: Clean Sweep” was discovered among secret Ingen security files, aiming to eliminate the brachiosaurs by poisoning their food supply with nerve gas; however, the DPG reported that the operation was a failure. On Sorna, the Brachiosaurs migrated in massive herds usually led by an alpha male in the Northern part of the Island (mainly to avoid competition over food with other large sauropods like the Mamenchisaurus). Adult Brachiosaurs were rarely the target of a predator; however, predators hunting and killing younger brachiosaurs were common. Survivors of the 2001 Isla Sorna incident encountered several Brachiosaurus. After Masrani opened Jurassic World, several Brachiosaurs were present on the island at some point because of a concept for an attraction called “Treetop Grazers,” which involved Brachiosaurs eating from raised walkways while tourists closely watched. Because of the 2015 Isla Nublar incident, the idea never made it in park, but several Brachiosaurs roamed the island after the catastrophe. Three Brachiosaurs were reported to be on the cargo ship Arcadia’s roster, and Eli Mills’ mercenaries salvaged multiple Brachiosaurus embryos from Dr. Wu’s lab at the Lockwood Manor.

Ankylosaurus
This armored herbivore was a part of the “Amalgam testing.” On Sorna, it took residence in the thick forests of the Northern part of the island and barely socialized with other species, only wandering out to open grassland with other herbivores to find water or food. Survivors of the 2001 Isla Sorna incident encountered several Ankylosaurs. Later, in 2004, Masrani exhibited the Ankylosaurus in Jurassic World. It is unknown whether the company cloned new stock or simply took specimens from Sorna. The animal could be viewed in the Gyrosphere, yet again wandering in dense forests with other members of its species. One ankylosaur is noted to have died during the 2015 Isla Nublar incident. After the incident, it freely roamed the island. After being targeted for rescue from the Mt. Sibo eruption, the animal now roams the continental United States with some having been bought and shipped to unknown locations during Eli Mills’ auction.
Film Appearances: Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom
Ceratosaurus
Another dinosaur from the “Amalgam Testing,” InGen’s Ceratosaurus is a deadly carnivore, nearly twice the size of its fossil record. Rumors also speculate that Tyrannosaur DNA may have been used, explaining the large size and aggression. On Sorna, they hunt alone or in small packs, often coming into conflict with larger carnivores such as the Spinosaurus or Tyrannosaurus. They hunt a variety of prey and will even resort to cannibalism or scavenging if needed. However, they despise the smell of feces or decaying corpses. The survivors of the 2001 Isla Sorna incident briefly encountered a lone Ceratosaurus. According to a 2018 DPG report, the Ceratosaurus became extinct again, whether to competition and/or predation from larger carnivores or the decreasing population of prey is unknown.

Giganotosaurus
InGen had possession of Giganotosaurus DNA in 2014 as it was used in the creation of the original Indominus Rex, possibly justifying the animal’s large size.
Dreadnoughtus
Dreadnoughtus’ embryos were salvaged from Lockwood’s Manor by Eli Mills’ mercenaries
Naustoceratops
One year after the Lockwood Manor Incident, a pair of Naustoceratops and a juvenile were encountered by campers at Big Rock National Park. There, they were witnessed fighting an Allosaurus. The current whereabouts of the Naustoceratops group are unknown.
Proceratosaurus
In 1993, InGen had DNA of the animal and had an enclosure built for the animal. However, despite the intention for inclusion in Jurassic Park, none were ever cloned. All of the DNA samples on Nublar were destroyed, and the samples on Sorna were lost during InGen’s evacuation. The DPG listed the animal as “terminated” until DNA samples are recovered.
Herrerasaurus
The primitive Triassic carnivore was bred on Sorna for inclusion in John Hammond’s Jurassic Park. The animals were in their enclosure on Nublar during the 1993 Nublar incident. However, all of the animal’s corpses were discovered during the 1994 cleanup, making the animals extinct again. InGen did save 60% of the genome after the evacuation of Sorna and cleanup of Nublar. In 2018, the DPG stated the species were cloned again by Masrani and were subject to cruelty, and the animal, for the third time, fell back into extinction.
Baryonyx
Five individuals were cloned on Sorna for inclusion in Jurassic Park with an already-built enclosure for Phase I of the park. After the evacuation of Sorna, it is unknown if the animal became extinct once again. During the 2001 Isla Sorna Incident, Billy Brennan confused the island’s Spinosaurus for a Baryonyx. Masrani exhibited the animal for his Jurassic World, living in the Cretaceous Cruise alongside its larger cousin, Suchomimus. After the animals were left to themselves after the 2015 Nublar Incident, the Spinosaurids claimed territory along the river, feeding on fish. However, Mt. Sibo's ashfall was starving the water sources of oxygen, leading to declining fish populations. This placed Nublar's Spinosaurid community in danger. One individual attacked Claire Dearing and Franklin Webb during the 2018 rescue mission on Sorna. Several individuals were present on the Arcadia and transported to the Lockwood Manor by Eli Mills’ mercenaries. Some were purchased and shipped to unknown locations during Eli Mill’s auction, but others roam the continental United States.

Crichtonsaurus
Named after a man with an excellent imagination and an unquenchable love for the impossible.
Archaeornithomimus
The archaeornithomimus was considered for an attraction in 2014 within Jurassic World, but was replaced in favor of the construction of the Indominus Rex.

InGen had 9% of its genome in 1994. In 2018, the DPG’s list confirmed it as extinct.
Stegoceratops
Appeared on Dr. Wu’s moniter screen in Jurassic World’s Hammond Creation Lab. It is unknown if one was ever created.

However, all of the animal’s corpses were discovered during the 1994 cleanup, making the animals extinct again. InGen did save 60% of the genome after the evacuation of Sorna and cleanup of Nublar. In 2018, the DPG stated the species were cloned again by Masrani and were subject to cruelty, and the animal, for the third time, fell back into extinction.
Baryonyx
Five individuals were cloned on Sorna for inclusion in Jurassic Park with an already-built enclosure for Phase I of the park. After the evacuation of Sorna, it is unknown if the animal became extinct once again. During the 2001 Isla Sorna Incident, Billy Brennan confused the island’s Spinosaurus for a Baryonyx. Masrani exhibited the animal for his Jurassic World, living in the Cretaceous Cruise alongside its larger cousin, Suchomimus. After the animals were left to themselves after the 2015 Nublar Incident, the Spinosaurids claimed territory along the river, feeding on fish. However, Mt. Sibo's ashfall was starving the water sources of oxygen, leading to declining fish populations. This placed Nublar's Spinosaurid community in danger. One individual attacked Claire Dearing and Franklin Webb during the 2018 rescue mission on Sorna. Several individuals were present on the Arcadia and transported to the Lockwood Manor by Eli Mills’ mercenaries. Some were purchased and shipped to unknown locations during Eli Mill’s auction, but others roam the continental United States.
Film appearances: Fallen Kingdom
Dracorex
A taxidermied Dracorex appeared in Benjamin Lockwood’s manor, implying the animal, at some point, had been cloned.
Diplodocus
Two taxidermied juvenile Diplodocus appeared in Benjamin Lockwood’s manor, implying the animal, at some point, had been cloned.
Styracosaurus
The dinosaur appeared on the DPG’s 2018 list of dinosaurs that were subject to cruelty. It is unknown if any populations still exist.
Crichtonsaurus
Named after a man with an excellent imagination and an unquenchable love for the impossible.
Archaeornithomimus
The archaeornithomimus was considered for an attraction in 2014 within Jurassic World, but was replaced in favor of the construction of the Indominus Rex.
Euoplocephalus
InGen had 9% of its genome in 1994. In 2018, the DPG’s list confirmed it as extinct.
Stegoceratops
Appeared on Dr. Wu’s moniter screen in Jurassic World’s Hammond Creation Lab. It is unknown if one was ever created.
