I have stats for two groups of dinosaurs on my animalia site

Dromeosaurs (raptors)

Allosaurids

I haven't gotten around to filling out the species accounts yet, but hitting the submit button will give you the stats of the listed species.

There entries were written with an eye toward real-world paleontology, using some of the more cutting-edge science from the Lionang formation discoveries and recent analyses on biomechanics. If you want a more traditional view of dinos, you might want to modify these a bit. The Jurassic Park franchise started out using paleontological science in transition between an older "traditional" view and the more modern understanding held today (it was quite cutting-edge for its time), but as the sequels dragged on the science became more and more dodgy. A Jurassic Park "velociraptor" (which could be based on my Utahraptor stats), for example, would not have wing assisted incline running (and might have higher IQ and Ground Move).
