Late Jurassic Pack

Hmm... like the flier and the swimmer. The dinosaurs though... well, let's just say there are too many options to choose from. Not so sure a bigger Megalosaurus and a bigger Dryosaurus would be my first picks... or my tenth...
Also not sure why Torvosaurus would like Allosaurus... wouldn't the two compete for the same niche, thus dislike each other?

I previously made my own idea thread with plenty of species options I shared exactly last year from today, UK time for Frontier.
forums.frontier.co.uk
But there are other species that I didn't add in it that I suddenly feel like sharing, in case something "Late Jurassic" isn't planned yet.
1. Sordes (Sordes pilosus): A small pterosaur discovered in Kazakstan.
2. Amphicoelias: A sauropod from the Morrison Formation with an interesting difficult history of size estimating.
3. Maraapunisaurus: Another sauropod from the Morrison known from a massively sized vertebra fossil and once considered as a species of the latter sauropod above.
4. Tianyulong: A small heterodontosaur with evidence of integument.
5. Hesperornithoides: A small troodont from the Morrison formation and described as early as 2019.
6. Juravenator: A small theropod from Europe known only from a juvenile specimen, but still considered a tiny species.
7. Hesperosaurus: A stegosaur from the Morrison related to stegosaurus.
8. Geosaurus: A small marine crocodile whose name means "Earth Lizard."
Late Jurassic Pack ideas
Just like my Late Cretaceous Pack idea thread ten days ago, this thread focuses on a hypothetical 4+ dino Late Jurassic Pack idea concept, assuming one isn't in developing progress yet. I have, 5 marine reptile ideas: Ophthalmosaurus, a "mid-sized" ichthyosaur named and known for its extra...

Ugh... can we please avoid any more Morrison sauropods? Particularly the extremely dubious diplodocid-type sauropods?
well I'll tell you this much I really like the setup of creatures I see here in this thread, but maybe some more that are outside of North America. Anyway this is how I would see a roster in the Jurassic pack.
Yangchanosaurus- well obviously this species was going to be my choice because it's Unique enough for an inclusion and not to mention it's outside of North America. we need more theropods that are very large.
Shunosaurus- this sauropod was believed to been able to defend itself against carnivores due to its small size while all of it's close relatives became huge. And the club tail definitely indicates it may have used this tail to defend itself against carnivores such as Sinraptor.
Temnodontosaurus- well much larger than ichthyosaurus in the game but as large as an orca this species is definitely an apex predator during its time in the late Jurassic. Anyway more ichthyosaurs are definitely needed in jwe 2.
Archeopteryx- instead of another pterosaur I decided to choose a flying dinosaur. And many paleontologists believe that this is so far the only species that is believed to have had power flight out of all its relatives from the later early and late Cretaceous. Anyway I actually like this species and I would love to see this species as a species that can be released in the Aviary since it can fly.
Plus I would like to see this species rest and sleep in the placeable trees that we have in the game already and them having a need for these placeable decorative trees.

Thing about Yang and Shuno though; if they did a middle Jurassic pack, those two would fit right in I believe.
Also, pretty sure Shonisaurus is late Triassic... not Jurassic...
Shunosaurus is late Jurassic. Yangchanosaurus is middle to Late Jurassic. Well definitely gives it an excuse to be included both of these species in a late Jurassic pack. I believe.
DeviantArt’s Ellman7567 made these drawings.
Another dinosaur I didn't add onto the list here and on the year-old thread I shared, though I'm not sure I shared it somewhere else in the JWE2 forums, is Ostafrikasaurus. A dinosaur only known through some teeth and is theorized to be a primitive spinosaurus from Tanzania, in the same region as Kentrosaurus.
I would prefer Supersaurus other than Camptosaurus.
Another Morrison diplodocid sauropod? Why?! Aren't 2 already enough?
Calm down dude! This is just my opinion.

Would Metriorhynchus or Rhomaleosaurus be OK?
Rhamphorhynchus is definite.

Metriorhynchus works... Rhomaleosaurus is Early Jurassic; good choice, but not for this pack.
Thank you Dragon.
But did you have to react like that when I said I prefer Supersaurus for this DLC?
Hmm... a little, I suppose. We already have four sauropods from the Morrison Formation; two of them diplodocids... Supersaurus would take those numbers up to 5/3... it'd be super redundant at this point.
OK, but please don't react like that again. That was almost too far.
@DragonNTiger what about Tuojiangosaurus?
I am not a fan of Miragaia.

Personally I'd love Tuojiangosaurus... it's basically the Stegosaurus of China and one of the most important stegosaurs in general, making its absence a bit weird... I fear however the similarities to Chungkingosaurus and the abundance of Asian stegosaurs in the game however might hold it back.
