Smoky Hill Chalk

* Map Overview
* Real life

**Smoky Hill Chalk** is a dig site in *Jurassic World Evolution*. It was added with the Return to Jurassic Park DLC.

## InGen Database Description

The Smoky Hill Chalk Member and the Fort Hays Limestone Member combined make up the Niobrara Formation, a late Cretaceous period chalk formation that has been the origin of many Pteranodon discoveries. At the time it formed, this area would have been deep and remote ocean not close to any land. As a result of this remoteness, most fossils found in the Niobrara chalk are marine reptiles such as mosasaurs. Still, some non-avian dinosaurs have been discovered. It is theorized that these dinosaurs were carried by floodwaters and currents to the open ocean.

These models are fully rotatable and can play one of six looped animations from the game. The skins, patterning, model variants can be changed in this menu, although skins and patterns unlocked through challenge mode will be unavailable until they are unlocked. A fully controllable light and a filter system allow the model to be viewed in a multitude of more ways. The Species Guide also includes audio pronunciation guides for every prehistoric creature in the game.
Yuliangze Formation

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

## InGen Database Description

The Yuliangze Formation (also known as the Yuliangzi Formation) is located near Heilongjiang in China. It underlies the Taipinglinchang Formation and dates to the Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous epoch, 69 million years ago.

Jiayin and Wulaga are two particularly rich fossil sites within this formation. The formation comprises mainly of sandstone and mudstone with fluvial deposits. Some conglomerate is also present. These indicate waterways or lakes and ponds. Coarse channel fills also suggest rivers.

Dinosaur fossils in this region are dominated by hadrosaurs, but other remains have been retrieved.

Gigantspinosaurus

* Evolution 2
* Database

* Evolution 2
* Evolution

***Gigantspinosaurus*** is a genus of stegosaurian dinosaur that originated from Late Jurassic Asia. *Gigantspinosaurus* fossils can be discovered in the Ziliujing Formation in China, which unlocks for expedition teams on Isla Sorna.

## Characteristics

Weighing around 700kg and growing up to 7.7 meters in length, *Gigantspinosaurus* is a medium-sized stegosaurid dinosaur notable for the enormous spikes on its shoulders, which help to protect it from predators – in fact, its name translates to "*Giant-Spined Lizard*". It also has a paired row of small plates running down its back and four spikes on its tail. Compared to other *Stegosaurs*, *Gigantspinosaurus* possessed smaller dorsal plates, but larger shoulder spines, with a relatively large head and a strong jaw that helps it to chew the plants and shrubs it feeds on. The base genome seems to be a coffee brown with a pale underbelly and darker brown stripes.

### Behaviour

*Gigantspinosaurus* is the last dinosaur found at the Ziliujing Formation and is harder to keep comfortable than *Chungkingosaurus* and *Huayangosaurus*. They require a minimum herd of at least four, or else they'll become quickly uncomfortable.

## Paleontology

*Gigantspinosaurus* was an unusual stegosaur. Although it looked fairly similar to *Kentrosaurus*, it has characteristically huge shoulder spikes. These spikes would've been a formidable form of defense or used as a display feature for mates. The abundance of primitive stegosaurs such as *Gigantspinosaurus* and *Huayangosaurus* mixed with more advanced genera such as *Chungkingosaurus* and *Tuojiangosaurus* in the Dashanpu formation of China suggest the stegosauria evolved in Asia before migrating to Africa, Europe and North America.

The first *Gigantspinosaurus* fossil was discovery took place in Pengtang, China in 1985, when paleontologist Ouyang Hui unearthed a partial skeleton featuring a lower jaw, tail and feet, as well as some skin impressions. The bones were originally thought to be that of a *Tuojiangosaurus* but following the excavation of a second *Gigantspinosaurus* specimen from Fuquan the previous year, it was finally classified as a new genus in 2006. The holotype was discovered in the Upper Shaximiao Formation.

### Paleoecology

*Gigantspinosaurus* lived during the Late Jurassic period around 160 million years ago alongside a myraid of dinosaurs such as the larger predator *Yangchuanosaurus*, the sauropods *Mamenchisaurus* and *Omeisaurus*, as well as other stegosaur relatives including *Tuojiangosaurus*, *Chungkingosaurus*, and *Chialingosaurus*. Fossil finds from the regions where *Gigantspinosaurus* has been located indicate a wet environment with rich marine life, with the fossil discovery locations suggesting that it preferred a wet environment with plenty of vegetation.

Jeremiah Oaks

**Jeremiah Oaks** (abt 1818 - November 28, 1864) served as a private in Company C, 13th Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry.

## Personal life

Jeremiah Oaks was born about 1818 in Mitchell County, North Carolina to David and Socca (Davis) Oaks in Watauga County, North Carolina. He married Martha Franklin (1837-1903) with whom he had eight children.

## Civil War service

Oaks enlisted as a private in Company C on January 20, 1864 in New Market, Tennessee for a period of three years and mustered in October 26, 1864 at New Market. His brother Nehemiah Oaks also served in Company C.

He is described as "40 years old", 5' 10" tall, dark complexion, gray eyes, dark hair, and by occupation a farmer. He apparently lied about his age to join the Army.

Oaks died November 28, 1864 in a hospital at Knoxville, Tennessee. The company records for his service have not been found, so it is uncertain if he had any service in the field or when he was admitted to the hospital. Oaks is buried in Knoxville National Cemetery in Knoxville. His wife applied for a widow's pension on August 10, 1865.

When the regiment mustered out on September 5, 1865 at Knoxville, it was noted that he had never been paid, nor received any bounty.

## Notes

1. ↑ The 1860 U.S. Census gives his age as 43 making him born about 1817. The 1850 U.S. Census gives his age as 23.
2. ↑ The cause of his death is not stated.

The rewards for completing this mission are $1,750,000, Cycads, Grasses, Jurassic Tour building and Tree Ferns.
Spinoraptor

* In Game
* Database

* Evolution

***Spinoraptor*** is a genetically modified species of dinosaur, created by Dr. Henry Wu by combining the base genome of *Spinosaurus* with that of *Velociraptor*.

## Characteristics

*Spinoraptor* is the notably aggressive amalgamation of *Velociraptor* and *Spinosaurus*, possessing the cunning and ferociousness of its parent species. When the first *Spinoraptor* was released into the Tacaño Research Facility, it was discovered that it had been tampered with in the embryo stage by rivals of the Hammond Foundation, strengthening its hide and preventing it from being subdued by the ACU helicopter, necessitating the creation of a dinosaur capable of defeating the hybrid. Thereafter, the genome was perfected, resulting in more amenable specimens in future operations.

### Behaviour

The *Spinoraptor* is similar in size to the *Metriacanthosaurus*, and while it shares many traits in common with small carnivores, it is capable of challenging and killing far larger predators. In addition, the *Spinoraptor* is a social animal and requires between two and four members of their species to remain content. It is the most docile of the hybrid theropods but will hunt guests more aggressively than its counterparts if it does escape.

*Spinoraptor* is counted as a medium carnivore, meaning it can be housed with small carnivores such as *Velociraptor* and *Troodon*, but will battle with the likes of *Tyrannosaurus* or *Spinosaurus*.

Sinosauropteryx

* Evolution 2
* Database

* Evolution 2

***Sinosauropteryx*** is a genus of compsognathid dinosaur that originated from Early Cretaceous Asia. It is included in the *Feathered Species Pack*.

## Characteristics

Native to north-east China and dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, *Sinosauropteryx* was a small carnivorous theropod notable for its short arms and an unusually long tail, thought to be used for balance as it ran on its hind legs. This genus weighs a nearly five pounds and grows to around a meter in length. It is a relative of *Compsognathus* although, unlike its older cousin, it has feathers. Its name translates to "*Chinese Dragon Bird*", *Sinosauropteryx* is covered in delicate hair-like feathers and a wavy striped tail. In fact, *Sinosauropteryx* is the first known example of a non-avian dinosaur to not only display feathers, but also where true feather colouration has been determined and also lead paleontologists towards the theory that modern-day birds evolved from dinosaur reptiles.

## Paleontology

The first *Sinosauropteryx* was discovered in 1996 by local farmer Li Yinfang in Liaoning Province. The find initially caused great controversy, with many experts suspicious of this apparently feathered dinosaur that could not fly, and there is still debate over the exact nature of *Sinosauropteryx's* feathers to this day. The genus was officially named *Sinosauropteryx* shortly after it was discovered, the name translating to "*Chinese Reptilian Wing*".

### Paleoecology

*Sinosauropteryx* lived in China approximately 122-124 million years ago and is believed to have roamed nearby prairies in search of food. It existed on a diet of small lizards and mammals and evolved to run quickly in pursuit of fast-moving prey.

Yutyrannus

* Evolution 2
* Database

* Evolution 2

***Yutyrannus*** is a genus of proceratosaurid dinosaur that originated from Early Cretaceous Asia. It is included in the *Feathered Species Pack*.

## Characteristics

*Yutyrannus* is a carnivorous dinosaur from the tyrannosauroid family – a distant relative of the fearsome *Tyrannosaurus* – that is notable for its incredibly striking nasal crest and stunning coat; the long feathers on its body and tail. In fact, measuring between eight and nine meters in length and weighing a ton, *Yutyrannus* is thus far the largest-known carnivorous dinosaur that preserve direct evidence of feathers. Its name befittingly translates to "*Feathered Tyrant*", derived from Mandarin Chinese and Latin.

## Paleontology

The exact location of *Yutyrannus'* original discovery are uncertain – the first specimens were obtained via a fossil dealer who claimed they were unearthed from a quarry in Liaoning Province, China, but this has never been officially confirmed. The genus was formally described in 2012 by a team of experts led by esteemed Chinese paleontologist Xu Xing and given the specific name *Yutyrannus huali* – the Chinese term "huali" meaning "beautiful", likely in reference to its feathers.

### Paleoecology

*Yutyrannus* lived approximately 125 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period in north-eastern China and may have needed its plumage for regulating temperature due to the cold climate. It coexisted alongside other dinosaurs such as dinosaurs such as *Psittacosaurus*, *Dongbeititan*, *Sinornithosaurus*, *Incisivosaurus*, and *Sinosauropteryx*. The discovery of three separate specimens together has led experts to believe that *Yutyrannus* may have hunted in packs, existing on a diet of smaller dinosaurs, mammals and fish.
Utahraptor

Database

* Evolution 2

***Utahraptor*** is a genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaur that originated from Early Cretaceous North America. It is included in the *Cretaceous Predator Pack*.

## Characteristics

Among the largest known dromaeosaurs, *Utahraptor* (as its name suggests) lived in the Utah region of the western United States during the early Cretaceous period. Measuring six meters long and weighing 500 kg (roughly the size of a polar bear), *Utahraptor* is a ferocious, intelligent, and ruthless predator that shares many features with its fellow raptors, including the large, lethal scythe-like "*killing claws*" on each foot that could stop almost any victim dead in its tracks. Unable to outrun most smaller dinosaurs, this genus relies on its sickle claws and a powerful bite to ambush its prey.

## Paleontology

The first specimens of *Utahraptor* were discovered in 1975 by respected American paleontologist Jim Jensen during an excavation in the Dalton Wells Quarry near the town of Moab, Utah. However, for more than 15 years, it did not receive much attention until the find of a large claw by Carl Limone in October of 1991. Following that, further remains of *Utahraptor* uncovered in the Gaston Quarry in Grand County, Utah by James Kirkland, Robert Gaston, and Donald Burge.

The type species, *Utahraptor ostrommaysi*, was officially named by Kirkland, Gaston, and Burge in June of 1993. The genus name is reference to Utah, where the remains were found, but the Latin word *raptor* translates to 'thief'. The specific name, *ostrommaysi*, is in honor to John Ostrom for his investigations on *Deinonychus* and its relationships to birds, as well as Chris Mays, who helped in the research of *Utahraptor* by founding Dinamation.

### Paleoecology

*Utahraptor* lived in North America during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 140-120 million years ago. It shared its ecosystem with fellow dinosaurs such as sauropods, iguanodont ornithopods such as *Dakotadon*, and the ankylosaurian nodosaurid *Gastonia* as well as other smaller theropod dinosaurs. Among the apex predators of its time, it inhabited environments that consisted of semiarid areas with floodplain prairies, riverine forests, and open woodlands predominated by conifers, ferns, hornworts, and other vascular plants.

He is described as 20 years old, 5' 9" tall, fair complexion, blue eyes, light hair, and by occupation a farmer.

Franklin is listed as present for duty throughout his term of service for which muster roll records have survived. In May 1864 he was detailed to serve as company cook. From November 1864 through January 1864, Franklin was detailed as a teamster. Finally, on July 24, 1865 he was on detached service as a teamster in Sweetwater, Tennessee.

Franklin mustered out with the regiment on September 5, 1865 at Knoxville. He had last been paid to August 31, 1864, owed $37.98 to the government for clothing, had been paid a $25 bounty, and was owed a $75 bounty.

## Post-war life

Franklin applied for an invalid's pension on August 1, 1876. He died January 31, 1884 in Burke County, North Carolina; his grave has not been located. His wife applied for a widow's pension on January 21, 1886.

## Notes

1. ↑ 1880 U.S. Census, Lovelady Township, Burke County, North Carolina.
2. ↑ The nature of his wound and how he got from Chattanooga to Carter County, Tennessee the same day is a mystery.
3. ↑ An odd notation indicates that he may have also been detailed as a teamster on June 14, 1864.

Stegoceratops

* In Game
* Database

* Evolution

***Stegoceratops*** is a genetically modified species of dinosaur, created by Dr. Henry Wu by combining the base genome of *Stegosaurus* with that of *Triceratops*.

## History

While it isn't known to have ever been created by InGen, this hybrid did appear in a computer screen in Henry Wu's laboratory alongside the *Indominus rex* and two other unidentified hybrids: One that resembles a pachycephalosaur and another that resembles a therizinosaur.

## Characteristics

A result of Dr. Henry Wu's genetic experiments using hybridization, *Stegoceratops* is unlike any other animal on Muertes Archipelago. Its name translates to "*Roof-Horned Face*". It has the modified head of a *Triceratops* with multiple, abnormally large horns, and the body of *Stegosaurus* with plates covering its entire body in various sizes.

The base genome of the *Stegoceratops* is dark grey with creamy underbelly. And the plates on its back are reddish orange with dark brown stripes.

### Behaviour

Like the *Stegosaurus* and unlike the *Triceratops*, *Stegoceratops* likes to live in herds. Unless modified, they require at least three herdmates to be content. Keep this in mind before establishing a paddock for them. They prefer a mostly grassland covered paddock with some trees. In terms of species to share the paddock, *Stegoceratops* can get along fine with any other herbivore who is also social.

Small carnivores such as *Deinonychus* can also coexist with it fine as while they might briefly face off, the small carnivores won't dare attack and will back off. That said however, larger carnivores are completely incompatible. *Stegoceratops* is deceptively strong despite its stats and can kill large theropods in a confrontation.

While fighting against other carnivores, *Stegoceratops* uses its tail to attack its opponent before using its horn to deliver the killing animation, making it the only dinosaur in *Jurassic World Evolution* with this behavior.

## Behind the scenes

*Stegoceratops* was created for 2015's *Jurassic World*, where it made a brief appearance on a computer terminal in Dr. Wu's lab near the climax of the film. Despite being cut from *Jurassic World*, *Stegoceratops* has appeared in almost all *Jurassic World* media such as books, toys, and games such as Ludia's *Jurassic World: The Game* and *Jurassic World: Alive*.

## Overview

Washington State serves mainly to reinforce dinosaur welfare and capture mechanics, without introducing much that hadn't already been learned in Arizona. Upon arrival to the area, the player finds the remains of a destroyed poacher encampment prowled by escaped *Carnotaurus*. With this, the player must capture the pair of *Carnotaurus* and an escaped *Allosaurus* and keep them content until they can be relocated

Washington State is a large valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake just beyond that. Washington has a small buildable area surrounded, with a sizable Wild Area where many wild dinosaurs roam and the *Allosaurus* must be tracked through. This wild area is turned into a buildable area in Sandbox Mode.

Ziliujing Formation

* Map Overview
* Real life

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

## InGen Database Description

The Ziliujing Formation is a sub-unit of the Dashanpu Formation in China and located in the Zigui Basin. The site was first discovered to contain fossils in the 1970s and it dates back to the Middle to Late Jurassic epochs, 168 million years ago.

An assemblage of 300 theropod and sauropod footprints were found in a region of what was likely to have been a tropical freshwater lake. In 1977 a dinosaur specimen was extracted that could be a possible evolutionary link between prosauropod and sauropod.

The region was once a dense forest and likely contained a large river that fed into a lake.

Fossils including amphibians, turtles, marine reptiles and fish were discovered here.

Shonisaurus

Database

* Evolution 2

***Shonisaurus*** is a genus of marine reptile in *Evolution 2*. It originated from Late Triassic North America. It's part of the *Prehistoric Marine Species Pack* DLC.

## Characteristics

Among the largest members of the ichthyosaurs and with a notably rotund frame, *Shonisaurus* was the graceful giant of the Late Triassic period – measuring up to 15 meters in length and nearly 30 tons in weight, it is one of the largest marine reptiles in history. With only a slim body and a long, skinny snout, the *Shonisaurus* would rely on its incredible size to fend off would be predators. However, it is a relatively slow swimmer, despite having large flippers.

## Paleontology

Named after the location of its discovery – the Shoshone Mountains in Nevada, USA – the first *Shonisaurus* remains were unearthed in 1920. The genus wasn’t properly investigated until much later, though – respected paleontologists Charles Camp and Samuel Welles began excavating the site in 1954, finding the remains of 37 large specimens through the late 1950s and 1960s. The genus was formally named in 1976, a full 56 years after it was first discovered.

### Paleoecology

*Shonisaurus* lived around 225-240 million years ago, swimming in deep oceans that were more suited to its large size than shallower waters. Its lack of teeth meant that it fed on soft-bodied prey such as squid and soft fish, eating them in huge quantities and often swallowing them whole.
Udurchukan Formation

The **Udurchukan Formation** is a dig site in *Jurassic World Evolution*. It was added with the Secrets of Dr. Wu DLC.

## InGen Database Description

The Udurchukan Formation forms part of the Tsagayan Group in South-eastern Russia. It underlies the Bureya Formation and sits upon the Kundur Formation. It dates from the Maastrichtian age of the Upper Cretaceous, 66-72 million years ago.

The formation comprises mainly of mudstone, conglomerate sedimentary rock, along with sand.

The area's bone beds are best known for the hadrosaurid finds from a variety of species.

## Trivia

* The Udurchukan Formation is the only in-game dig site in Russia.
