It's hard to pick an underappreciated prehistoric animal, since that would actually be most of them.

Here's one I learned about recently that I previously never heard of- Silesaurus. It lived during the Triassic period in what is now Poland/central Europe.

Liliensternus was a moderate-sized,bipedal, ground-dwelling carnivore, that could grow up to 5.15 m long. It is the best represented Triassic theropod from Europe and one of the largest known.

It is done. We used a rynchosaur instead of a rabbit to be at least a little more accurate to the Triassic.

Silurian period: hey I got a great idea for an open-water predator that specializes in eating fish

Triassic period: what if it was a reptile

Paleogene period: what if it was a cow

We decided to only do synapsids today, but everyone was just suggesting Permian/Triassic stuff. Shame!

So this animal, usually called a “Compy” by fans, has the hardest to pin-down identity of all. In the books, they are Procompsognathus triassicus, so no problem there. In the script, they are erroneously called “Compsognathus triassicus.”

Shringasaurus may look like a dinosaur, but it wasn’t at all! It belonged to a group of reptiles known as the Allokotosaurs, which lived around the Triassic.
