Uncommon and unknown carnivores

Talking about small Dinosaurs people on Reddit were talking about how the Dilo in the game is bigger than it was in the movies. I think Frontier increased it's size to get it into the game. I wonder what makes smaller Dinosaurs impossible. Are they are harder to make? Are they worried about it causing issues with the game?
Anyway, just think about it. The Dilo almost got left out of the game cause it was too small. So Frontier made it a bit bigger cause it wouldn't be right to leave it out. Also some people on Reddit were complaining about how the frill was visible while being closed. Yes this is true. lol
The only way FD could have fixed that is by removing the frill and making it more like the actual real life Dilophosaurus. Basically what was in the novel.

Had? What happened to them?
I gave them away. Back in 1999. I was into video games and I was older. I was 15 in 1999. I wasn't going to play with them anymore so I gave them to my nephews.
Only for curiosity, but if the new spinosaurinae fossils found in the santana formation are indeed Irritator, the size of the species grow to almost the same of the Sucho or a litte bigger.
Also, the inclusion of the Santana formation in a later DLC will be a great thing. A raptor size tyranosauroid (Santanraptor), the Irritator, and the bigger Compsognathidae (Mirischia) are the dinos and a huge variety of pterosaurs (and I mean, HUGE, could easily be a two DS with three Pteros each, only with the famous ones).
Well, I think that is the all I have to share today. About the main topic subject. If Proceratosaurus, Troodon, Herrerasaurus and maybe Segisaurus (the latter two will be only possible in a DLC as the first still maybe make into the core game) make to the game I will be VERY G HAPPY!!!! These not only are some less know by the Jurassic fãs, but like the Metri they are Canon in the film lore! So if we going to add some dark dinos, the best way to start is to add the ones that are alread part of the Jurassic Universe. <3

Acro, Carcha and Alberto/Gorgo are a must have. Hope if we really dont get they in the core game they came on the very first DLC possible with any other cannon dinosaur that may not get into the game at the start.
Well there is another Spinosaurinae in the Santana Formation - Angaturama. Many paleontologists consider it to a junior synonym of Irritator. The Angaturama species is about 60% complete, but is also estimated to be about 8 meters long.
Still there is a Spinosaurinae from the Alcantara Formation known as Oxalaia. It is about 10 million years younger than Irritator, and is estimated to be about at least 12.2 meters/40 feet long.
A thread about lesser known carnivores? ...all right then, I'll put in my thoughts...
Acrocanthosaurus - Cloverly Formation, USA
I'm with the rest of you; it's a bit of a disappointment this guy didn't make the cut... especially with Deinonychus confirmed and rumors circulating about Sauropelta's inclusion... would have rounded out the Cloverly Formation quite nicely if I do say so.
Herrerasaurus - Ischigualasto Provincial Park, Argentina
Ancient and awesome; one of the oldest known animals thought to be a dinosaur, it still retained a number of primitive features, such as five toes on each foot.
Cryolophosaurus - Hanson Formation, Antarctica
Elvisaurus here deserves a mention for being the first dinosaur from Antarctica to be named and for its unique head ornamentation... and because its nickname is Elvisaurus...
Austroraptor - Allen Formation, Argentina
A uniquely adapted dromaeosaur with a mouth like a spinosaur; it's thought to have snapped up fish in its jaws, then gutted them with its over-sized toe claws... because its arms were so tiny...
Alioramus - Nemegt Formation, Mongolia
A long-nosed tyrannosaur with interesting head ornamentation... also one of the smaller members of the family...
Yutyrannus - Yixian Formation, China
The feather tyrant of the Yixian Formation would make an awesome addition if I do say so... unless they made it featherless... in which case there would be no point in adding it, would there be?
Dimetrodon - Texas Red Beds, USA
While not a dinosaur (but definitely a carnivore) if there was any animal that wasn't a dinosaur but we could all agree should be added, I think it would be this guy...

Dracorex and Deinonychus seem to represent the smallest they'll go... both are roughly half the height of a human and around six meters long... anything smaller might be too small.
Lucky them... the toys I mean, not the kids. Mine were ripped to shreds long ago... the spitter Dilophosaurus too... small rubber dinosaurs just don't put up with normal play wear very well I think.

Agreed … except for your size estimates. Dracorex was about 3 meters/9.8 feet long, and about 0.9-1.1 meters/3-3.6 feet tall. Deinonychus was about 3.5 meters/11.5 feet long, and about 1.1-1.2 meters/3.6-4 feet tall.
I doubt we will see many more Triassic and early Jurassic dinosaurs - unless they are in a future expansion pack/DLC.
Well - it's definitely a unique dromaeosaur. Although It will depend of it they add some new formations to the game. Which we may get to see with the Fallen Kingdom DLC - with Carnotaurus.
Acrocanthosaurus is actually known from the Cedar Mountain Formation, as well as the Cloverly Formations. In addition it is also known from a couple of formations in Texas(Puluxy River) and Oklahoma(Antlers). So if it not available on the game's release (which I doubt it will) - it may still appear in a future DLC(I hope so).
Also agreed. Although - if it is available at the game's release - then it will be the Alioramini -- Qianzhousaurus. Which is a larger species. Other wise I could see Alioramus being in a future DLC.
Yeah … I think you may have just answered about it's possibilities in the game.
Well - here's some uncommon carnivorous dinosaurs from Late Cretaceous North America - you may not have heard of.
- Teratophoneus - "monstrous murderer"
it is from the Kaiparowits Formation, in Utah. The holotype is a sub-adult estimated to be 6 meters long, with the adult estimated to be about 7-8 meters/23-26 feet long.
- Lythronax - "king of Gore"
It is presently the oldest known Tyrannosaurine - at about 80 myo. It was found in the Wahweap Formation in southern Utah. The holotype was nearly 7 meters/23 feet long.
- Bistahieversor - "Bistahi destroyer"
It is known from the Kirtland Formation in New Mexico. Known from both an Adult and juvenile specimen. The Juvenile species was about 5 meters/16-17 feet long, while the adult was estimated at about 9 meters/30 feet long.

According to this article: http://jurassicpark.wikia.com/wiki/InGen's_List#Novels
Uncertain dinos are:
in the movies: Carnotaurus, Giganotosaurus, Majungasaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, Proceratosaurus, Rugops, Segisaurus.
And in the novel: Coelurosaurus.

Feathers didn't stop Ludia from introducing it into their own licenced Jurassic World game...
*facepalm* ...the diagram I got those measurements from used half-meter measurements... I was confusing half-meters for whole meters there...
And yeah, I was largely talking DLC... I'm well aware of the current dig site list and the fact that animals "A" through upper "D" is fully revealed... barring some odd, unknown circumstance...
Erm... as totally awesome as Kosmoceratops is... this thread is about uncommon and unknown carnivores... and as a ceratopsian, Kosmoceratops is definitely a herbivore...
