Even after Extinction, the History of the Giant Reptiles of the Mesozoic era remains preserved in museums, books, and film.
My ASL Dictionary has a cartoon of the Chaos Mathematician Ian Malcom (survivor of the Jurassic Park books and films) illustrating an ASL hand sign for DINOSAUR.
With Stern facial expression for the creature’s weight, the closed fingers forming the head, the arm of the D hand (or Flattened O hand) moves up and down like a stomping dinosaur.

Presenting the first Dinosaur hand sign taught in my ASL courses, I reason his character uses the older initialized hand sign as he is a mathematician and not an updated paleontologist.
