Why does deinonychus and camptosaurus or a few other dinos are the only dinosaurs that are mentioned in the novel have a novel section unlike some of the other dinosaurs that are mentioned too. So the main point of this thread is should we add the novel section to any creatures that are mentioned in the first novel and many versions and of that novel such as the gift version, and the audiobook version and the novel bundle. So the first two example of the dinos that doesn't have a novel section are seismosaurus and ultrasaurus which I think I heard from some kind of the audiobook or some other version of this book.

Interesting question. I have only read the first book but in that book the novel sections were named depending on what was about to be discussed. The novel section title was meant to let you know where they were, who it was about or what is happening in that section. If the book had all of the novel sections about the dinosaurs in the book, it would be more of a history book more than the story Michael Cricton is trying to tell. Therefore I think that it is good to sometimes have a novel section title a dinosaur, but only when it is about that dinosaur or if it involves that dinosaur in that section.

Deinonychus and Camptosaurus only appear in certain editions of the novel, including but not limited to translations and audiobooks. They are absent from most editions because they were not present in the original printing.
