The **Candeleros Formation** is a dig site in *Jurassic World Evolution*.

## InGen Database Description

The Candeleros Formation is situated in the Rio Negro, Neuquén and Mendoza provinces in Argentina. The formation was named for the Candeleros Hill located nearby. It is the oldest member of the Neuquén Group, and sits beneath the Huincul Formation and above the Lohan Cura Formation. It dates to the Cenomanian age of the Late Cretaceous epoch, 100 million years ago.

The formation was formed from a complex river system and is mostly comprised of sandstone and conglomerates. Siltstone (likely from swamps) and soil deposits are also found there. The environment has been compared to the conditions found at the Bahariya Formation of Egypt and the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco.

A vast range of fauna fossils have been recovered from the formation including fish, frogs, snakes, turtles, mammals, and various types of dinosaurs. Preserved dinosaur tracks have also been discovered in the Kokorkom Desert.

Isla Sorna (1993)

ISLA SORNA - 1993Location featured in

* Island Overview
* Buildable Area

**Isla Sorna**, also known as **Site B**, is the largest island in the Muertes Archipelago. It is unlocked through the *Return to Jurassic Park* DLC campaign during mission 3.

## InGen Database Description

*Isla Sorna was referred to as Site B by InGen as a production facility for cloning and engineering dinosaurs. They would later be transported to Isla Nublar for the attractions in Jurassic Park.*

*Its name means 'sarcasm island'.*

*The island forms the largest of the Muertes Archipelago, also known as Las Cincos Muertes, or the Five Deaths. It is situated 333 miles to the west of Costa Rica, and comprises of granite cliffs and dense forest.*

## History

In the mid-1980s, Isla Sorna, together with Isla Nublar and the other islands of the Muertes Archipelago, were sold to InGen by the Costa Rican government in a 99-year lease over the islands. The island was purposed into a research facility and factory floor on which dinosaurs were initially cloned and matured, before being transported to the Jurassic Park facility on Nublar. The first dinosaur cloned by InGen was successfully bred on Sorna in 1986, while the first mature specimens were shipped from Sorna to Nublar in 1988.

Soon after the Isla Nublar Incident in 1993, Isla Sorna was hit by the powerful Hurricane Clarissa, forcing InGen to abandon the island.

## Overview

Isla Sorna (1993) is first reached by the player following several mission on Isla Nublar (1993). Numerous wild dinosaurs are present upon reaching the island including six Stegosaurus, six Corythosaurus, four Pachycephalosaurus, four Mamenchisaurus, four Parasaurolophus, and twelve Gallimimus. The island is comprised of five different areas, one of which is large and located at the geographic center of the map while the rest of them are small and located around the peripheries of the island. These areas are separated by a series of winding narrow corridors. The entire map descends towards a series of cliffs overlooking a large river flowing through the larger island.

Frenchman Formation

* Map Overview
* Real life

The **Frenchman Formation** is a dig site in *Jurassic World Evolution*.

## InGen Database Description

The Frenchman Formation is situated in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in the southern Saskatchewan and the Cypress Hills of south-eastern Alberta. Its name comes from the Frenchmen River and was named by G. M. Furnival in 1942. It underlies the Ravenscrag Formation, and overlies the Battle, Whitemud, Eastend, and Bearclaw Formations. It dates back to the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous, 70 million years ago.

The formation primarily consists of sandstone, but with claystone and clay-cast conglomerate deposits as well. Its widest reported thickness is 113 meters.

Paleoclimate estimates for this formation are 12-14 degrees centigrade, so indicating a subtropical climate.

Abundant remains of *Triceratops* (of varying ages) and other ceratopsids have been found here, along with other dinosaur fauna, as well as amphibians and fish. Gastropods and other invertebrates have also been found here. It is also a rich site for plant specimens and ferns, gingkoes and others have been recovered in various sites.
Minchinhampton

* Map Overview
* Real life

**Minchinhampton** is a dig site in *Jurassic World Evolution*. It was added with the Carnivore Dinosaur Pack.

## InGen Database Description

Minchinhampton is a small town in Gloucestershire, England near which the only remains, so far discovered, of *Proceratosaurus* were found. The discovery of a partial skull was made in the opening years of the 20th century during the digging of a new reservoir near the town. The site forms part of the wider Great Oolite Group that underlies large parts of southern England.

*Proceratosaurus* would have roamed on the northern continent of Laurasia during the middle Jurassic, around 168 million years ago. It has recently been classified as one of the oldest known Tyrannosaurids.

## Trivia

* Minchinhampton is the only in-game dig site that is a town rather than a conventional dig site.
Lawson Maddron

**Lawson Maddron** (abt 1813 – November 29, 1896) served as a hospital steward in the 13th Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry.

## Personal life

Lawson Maddron was born about 1816 in Johnson County, Tennessee to John and Lydia (Coutner) Maddron. He married Lucy Ann Gentry (1813-1889) with whom he had at least 10 children.

## Union Convention

In the regimental history, Maddron is named as one of the delegates from Johnson County to the Union Conventions at Knoxville on May 30, 1861 and Greeneville on June 17, 1861.

## Civil War service

Maddron enlisted as a private in Company D on February 2, 1864 in Taylorsville, Tennessee for a period of three years and mustered in October 28, 1863 at Nashville, Tennessee. On April 1, 1864, he was appointed regimental hospital steward, 2nd class by order of Colonel Miller. His sons, John and William, also served in Company D.

He is described as 44 years old, 5' 10" tall, dark complexion, black eyes, gray hair, and by occupation a farmer.

Maddron is listed as present for duty throughout his term of service for which muster roll records have survived.

When the regiment mustered out on September 5, 1865 at Knoxville, it was noted that he had last been paid to August 31, 1864, was owed $42.82 for clothing, had received a $60 bounty, and was owed a $240 bounty.

## Post-war life

Maddron listed his occupation as a farmer upon enlistment, and all U.S. Census records also indicate that, but his headstone states: “60 yrs a minister / baptised tover 2000”. He was likely a lay minister as no record for his denomination has been located.

In 1883, Maddron and an associate named A. J. Sneed had a fine of $100 dismissed for violation of the U.S. revenue law (moonshining).

Maddron applied for an invalid's pension on June 26, 1880. He died November 29, 1896 and is buried at Waters Cemetery in Cosby, Tennessee.

## Notes

1. ↑ U.S. Census records indicate that he was born either in 1813, 1814, or 1816; his headstone states his age at death as 88. The age for his birth here is calculated from the 1870 and 1880 U.S. Census records, and from his age at muster-out which is given as 52.

Jeholopterus

* Evolution 2
* Database

* Evolution 2

***Jeholopterus*** is a genus of flying reptile that originated from Late Jurassic Asia. It is included in the *Feathered Species Pack*.

## Characteristics

The smallest pterosaur in the *Evolution* series with a wingspan of around 32 inches, *Jeholopterus* is an anurognathid pterosaur notable for its blunt snout and rows of sharp teeth. Agile and quick in flight, their small stature allows them to soar through the air with ease, chasing down insects for food. Fossils have been discovered to have been preserved with hair-like pycnofibres and skin remains. Dating back to the Middle Jurassic period, around 164 million years ago, the genus takes its name from the Jehol region of Inner Mongolia that it called home.

## Gameplay

### Behavior

The *Jeholopterus* is very similar to most other pterosaurs but is the smallest out of all of them, being around the size of a chicken, it only requires 1 Aviary to satisfy its size needs. It will occasionally stop to perch and weirdly does not need to drink any water. It is the first species to feed from the Insect Feeder.

## Paleontology

This genus was first described in 2002 by a group of palaeontologists including the world-renowned Xu Xing, following the discovery a near-complete skeleton in the Daohugou beds of the Haifanggou Formation in Ningcheng County, north-east China. This well-preserved specimen allowed expert to learn about the genus in detail and reach strong hypotheses on how it lived.

### Paleoecology

Found in Tiaojishan Formation in China, *Jeholopterus* lived in the forests of Daohugou, where the climate was warm and humid, with a rich variety of flora and fauna. Although most anurognathids fed primarily on insects, *Jeholoptertus'* relatively large size has led researchers to believe it may also have been a piscivore, using its small, sharp teeth to dart into the water and grab fish swimming near the surface. There, *Jeholopterus* lived alongside arboreal theropods like *Yi qi* and *Scansoriopteryx*, pterosaurs like *Sinomacrops* from the same family, as well as cynodonts and prehistoric salamanders.
Australovenator

* Profile
* Database

* Evolution 2

***Australovenator*** is a genus of carnosaurian dinosaur in *Evolution 2*. Originating from Late Cretaceous Australia, it was added to the game in the *Late Cretaceous Pack*.

## Characteristics

*Australovenator* is a bipedal theropod measuring six meters long, weighing 500 kg, and is a member of the family Megaraptora; a group of predatory theropods with controversial relationships not entirely understood at present. Even though it is of smaller size, it is similar in appearance to dinosaurs within the Allosauroidea. However, discoveries of close relatives such as *Maip macrothorax* suggest it is more closely related to tyrannosaurs. Its name translates to "*Southern Hunter*", in reference to its Australian habitat and carnivorous diet. *Australovenator* had a relatively lightweight frame for a theropod dinosaur as well as serrated teeth are perfectly designed for stalking prey quickly and effectively. In fact, the paleontologist who discovered the genus described it as "*the cheetah of its time*" due to its speed, agility and predatory instincts.

### Behaviour

*Australovenator* is a social animal that does best in groups, often engaging in multiple social interactions. Preferring to live in packs no smaller than three animals, it likes enclosures that have a significant amount of open space for running, and a relatively small water source from which to drink. *Australovenator* also likes some forest in which to hide and ambush prey, and it requires live animals to hunt in order to satisfy its needs. It won't say no to meat feeders that are also placed in with live prey in addition. Oddly, it will readily attack smaller dinosaurs, but will leave medium-sized and large herbivores like hadrosaurs, sauropods, large ankylosaurs, and ceratopsians alone. It is rated as 5 in regards to its security level, and can escape all but the strongest fences.

## Paleontology

This genus is one of the most recent dinosaur discoveries – *Australovenator* was first described as recently as 2009. The first specimen was found in the Winton Formation in Queensland, Australia by paleontologist Scott Hocknull. The remains were buried alongside fossils of another dinosaur called *Diamantinasaurus*, an occurrence that had never been seen in Australia before.

### Paleoecology

Most likely the apex predator of its ecosystem, *Australovenator* lived in Australia during the Late Cretaceous period, around 95 million years ago. It lived alongside several types of dinosaurs such as *Muttaburrasaurus*, *Minmi*, and other species of ornithopods, ankylosaurs, and a few species of sauropods as well as various crocodilians, fish and reptiles. Its diet consisted of small and medium-sized animals, although some experts believe it may have hunted larger dinosaurs by working in packs.
Horsetails

## Preferred by

 Ankylosauridae
 Ceratopsidae
 Ornithomimidae
 Pachycephalosauridae

## Harmful to

 Hadrosaridae
 Sauropoda
 Stegosauridae

The **Horsetails** are a genetically engineered food source for herbivores in *Jurassic World Evolution*.

## InGen Database Description

Horsetails (scientific name Equisetum) are the only remaining genus of the class Equisetopsida. A 'living fossil', horsetails are a genetic link back in time to the Cretaceous Period, perhaps even the Triassic, when Equisetopsida would have been much more plentiful and diverse. Calamites, a close relative of horsetails, could have grown to be up to 30m tall.

Horsetails are commonly seen as an invasive species and a weed, but have a long history of use in traditional medicine. The abrasive stems can be used for scouring pans, and in Japan, are boiled and dried before being used to polish woodcraft.
Landscaping

**Landscaping** is the means through which players modify the terrain and environment in *Jurassic World Evolution*. Landscaping was expanded with Update 1.8 through the addition of terrain painting, new nature brushes, and other small changes to the system, such as toggle-able contour lines. A sand painting tool was added to Isla Nublar with Update 1.8.3.

## Overview

Landscaping is divided into 4 different methods that modify different elements of the environment and terrain, those being nature, water, terrain, and painting tools. Each general tool has a series of brushes available within their given tool menu, a removal brush, and the ability to choose from 3 different sized radiuses within which a given brush will be used.

The painting tool brushes available through landscaping vary depending on the island.

## Tools

### Nature

The Nature Tool includes a variety of foliage brushes that allow different types of foliage to be painted across the terrain. The ability to paint with the foliage brushes across sand, dirt, shale, and rock terrain is severely limited compared to grass terrain.

### Water

The Water tool includes the water brush that allows for terrain to be replaced by water. Individual water pools must be at the same height to be connected to one another.

### Terrain

The Terrain tool includes a variety of brushes that allow for the modification of terrain height and slope. The slope created by terrain brushes has 7 different levels of intensity.

### Painting

The Painting tool includes a variety of brushes that allow for the modification of the terrain's type.

## Trivia

* The grassland brush originally painted with an island specific brush prior to Update 1.8.
	+ On Isla Pena, for example, the grassland brush would paint with what is now the crag brush.
* Macaws are sometimes seen when flying away after the add or remove forest landscaping tools are used.
Fossil Center

Obtain the building blocks of life by extracting dinosaur DNA from fossils recovered at dig sites.

### Cost

$400,000

The **Fossil Center** is an operations building in *Evolution*. It allows the player to extract DNA from fossils and amber to create dinosaurs.

## Description

The Fossil Center is essential to paleontology and creating dinosaurs. The fossils, minerals, and treasure gained through the Expedition Center are automatically placed here where they can then be extracted or sold for money. If a given species' fossil or amber is extracted, said species genome completion percentage will increase. All dinosaurs are required to reach 50% genome completion before they can be hatched. At 100% genome completion they will have the maximum associated base authenticity rating and lifespan.

**Kem Kem Beds** is a dig site in *Jurassic World Evolution*. It was added with the Cretaceous Dinosaur Pack.

## InGen Database Description

The Kem Kem Beds can be found in southeastern Morocco, on the Algerian border. It dates back to the Late Cretaceous (100.5-66 Ma), and primarily consists of reddish rock.

This formation has come to be known for its wide variety of large carnivorous theropods. Despite the formation's reputation for carnivores, however, it is not necessarily the case that the ecosystems of the time had an unusually high concentration of carnivores living side by side. Theropod teeth are more desirable, and durable, and so appear more plentiful, but in reality these animals could have lived millions of years apart.
Ginkgo

## Preferred by

 Hadrosauridae
 Sauropoda

## Harmful to

 Ankylosauridae
 Pachycephalosauridae

The **Ginkgo** is a genetically engineered food source for herbivores in *Jurassic World Evolution*.

## InGen Database Description

Ginkgo biloba is a living fossil, the only extant species of the once diverse Ginkgophyta division. Known for its distinctive leaf shape, ginkgo is cultivated across the world by humans for culinary, medicinal, and ornamental purposes.

Fossil evidence of ginkgo biloba goes back nearly 300 million years. While fossil evidence is found around the world, nowadays wild ginkgo with natural origins (as opposed to being planted by humans) is rare. There is evidence that the Dalou Mountains in China is one such area, as it could have served as a glacial refuge, an area in which plants are able to survive the effects of an ice age, in this case due to elevation. Nowadays ginkgo thrives in well watered and drained areas.

Gigantoraptor

Database

* Evolution 2

***Gigantoraptor*** is a genus of caenagnathoid dinosaur that originated from Late Cretaceous Asia. It is included in the *Cretaceous Predator Pack*.

## Characteristics

The largest known dinosaur of the oviraptorosaur family growing to around eight meters in length, weighing in at over two tons in body mass and dating back around 65-70 million years during the Late Cretaceous period, the fearsome *Gigantoraptor's* large stature can be quite intimidating, given its bizarre beak and sharp claws. The elongation of its legs meant it was adapted to run or maintain speed for an extensive amount of time, making it a dinosaur that could be difficult to flee from. Additionally, it possessed a devastating kick. Aside from its impressive size, *Gigantoraptor* is notable for its lack of teeth – although it has a strong jaw capable of shearing through large plants.

## Paleontology

*Gigantoraptor* is one of the most recent dinosaur discoveries, unearthed in 2005 by Xu Xing, a Chinese paleontologist responsible for naming more dinosaurs than any other paleontologist alive today. The first specimen, a thigh bone, was excavated from the Iren Dabasu Formation in Inner Mongolia. Its large size led to the genus’ name, which translates to "*giant thief*".

### Paleoecology

This genus shared its habitat with a range of dinosaurs, including *Bactrosaurus*, *Archaeornithomimus* and its relative, *Oviraptor*. Like *Oviraptor*, *Gigantoraptor* is omnivorous, with a diet of fruit and nuts, eggs, and even small dinosaurs. Despite its large size, *Gigantoraptor* would have remained wary of the predator tyrannosaurid *Alectrosaurus* and dromaeosaurid *Achillobator*.
