The rarest possible answer — almost no player finds it.
- Leaellynasaura— Named after the nine-year-old daughter of the paleontologists who found it. A little polar dinosaur with enormous eyes for seeing through months of winter dark.
- Megalosaurus— The first dinosaur ever named, in 1824, nearly two decades before the word 'dinosaur' existed. Victorian scientists reconstructed it as a giant shuffling lizard-bear.

An overthought pick that scores below the middle of the board.
- Archaeopteryx— The 'well, actually, the first bird' pick. Feathered, famous, and exactly as predictable as it is smug.
- Compsognathus— The 'world's smallest dinosaur' pub-quiz factoid. Jurassic Park 2 made you think of it immediately.
- Megalodon— Not a dinosaur, a shark. The internet's favorite prehistoric creature still gets a pass for audacity.
