Notes/trivia

 * The episode is a partial homage to the 1993 film, Jurassic Park; the dinosaur roar used in this episode is very similar to the one used in Jurassic Park.
 * This is the second time Scooby-Doo faces a dinosaur; the first time was in the The New Scooby and Scrappy Doo Show episode, The Dinosaur Deception.
 * Plot elements from The Dinosaur Deception were re-used in this episode (i.e. the setting is in Latin America, the villain in both episodes is mining precious metals, the dinosaur is an excavating machine).
 * This is the first episode not to have the Mystery Machine.

Miscellaneous

 * Clues:

Cultural references

 * Hakimoto makes reference to the tagline of Jaws 2.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

 * The Dinosaur Spirit's shape and size changes in most scenes it had appeared.
 * When Scooby was in a dinosaur disguise to lure the dinosaur, the next shot shows his disguise has disappeared.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

 * When Shaggy steps on the gunk in the mine, Velma immediately assumes that it is coprolite (fossilized dinosaur feces), but the only known samples are fossilized and rock-like in shape. What took Daphne so long to recognize it as bat guana, and why didn't Velma know this?
 * One of the skeletons in the museum had the body of a Stegosaurus, but its skull resembled a Triceratops.
