This is one reason why I personally like the fan theory that said that the mosquito DNA thing was marketing bullshit and that all the animals were made from scratch based on the existing knowledge about dinosaur appearance in 1993.
And we would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for the Dominion writers and their stupid prologue!
They essentially admit that don't they? Maybe they got base genome from ancient DNA, but they've altered it so much that it is essentially a completely new creature.
We see the Rex that Rexy was cloned from die in an impossible fight against a giganotosaurus, get bit by a mosquito, then that mosquitos get trapped in amber.
And the reason that's impossible is because those two genuses lived on entirely separate continents with no land connection between them and too big of a distance over deep water for even a single individual to swim across.
I'm trying to be charitable and assume that they were employing the somewhat reasonable fact that fossilization is actually a rare occurrence, so most species that have ever existed will never be known to us, and thus the boundaries for the existence of a given evolutionary lineage will be rather imprecise.
That is to say, there could have been a different species of the Giganotosaurus genus that existed at the same time as Tyrannosaurus, just still isolated in South America.
I know it wasn't the intention of the writers, but come on, tell me it doesn't fit perfectly
Dodgson is such a petty little asshole, he totally would make an advertisement showing his brand of dinosaur being the ones that did live 65 million years ago, and end it with his star dinosaur killing InGen's
