Jurassic Park Daily - Jurassic Park

In the movie clip that corresponded to the previous chapter, where the group see dinosaurs for the first time, there was a moment right at the beginning where Ellie Sattler was looking at a leaf and saying that it had been extinct since the time of the dinosaurs. I’m not going to quibble with the movie over it - it’s an effective setup for the there are dinosaurs moment; she’s realizing, via her field of paleobotany, that something is going on here that should be impossible.

But when you have time to think about it, it doesn’t make sense - what, were the mosquitos biting plants? Where would they get Mesozoic plant DNA? But plants can be very resilient, and there are some still around today similar to those that did exist in the time of the dinosaurs. So in the book, the park creates a Jurassic ambience by using those plants:

Serenna veriformans, a plant found abundantly in fossils more than two hundred million years old, now common only in the wetlands of Brazil and Colombia.

And that’s what makes it all the more egregious that the park has a dangerously poisonous fern planted poolside. This isn’t like not knowing the Dilophosaurus was venemous until they made one, where there was no information to tell them so. Information on these plants existed, and they just didn’t bother to check, because, as Sattler notes, they treated them as just scenery. (The relevance of poisonous plants will come up again!)

(It also raises all kinds of thoughts about things they couldn’t know. What if a plant wasn’t hazardous to modern herbivores, but was toxic to dinosaurs, and they planted it in herbivore enclosures? They’ve got life-forms that they know almost nothing about, because there’s almost nothing they can know prior to making them. The fact that they’re not even bothing to do the research on things where information is readily available indicates the level of ignorance and arrogance going on here.)

The cutesy names for the dinosaur habitats are just another little thing that adds to the impression that Hammond and his team are not regarding this enterprise with nearly enough humility. And the bars on the windows show they’ve already been running into the unexpected.

And these warning signs mean that it takes our scientists only one chapter to go from absolute wonder to cautious suspicion.

The area was planted with huge ferns. “Isn’t this extraordinary?” Ed Regis said. “Especially on a misty day, these plants really contribute to the prehistoric atmosphere. These are authentic Jurassic ferns, of course.”

Ellie paused to look more closely at the ferns. Yes, it was just as he said: Serenna veriformans, a plant found abundantly in fossils more than two hundred million years old, now common only in the wetlands of Brazil and Colombia. But whoever had decided to place this particular fern at poolside obviously didn’t know that the spores of veriformans contained a deadly beta-carboline alkaloid. Even touching the attractive green fronds could make you sick, and if a child were to take a mouthful, he would almost certainly die—the toxin was fifty times more poisonous than oleander.

People were so naïve about plants, Ellie thought. They just chose plants for appearance, as they would choose a picture for the wall. It never occurred to them that plants were actually living things, busily performing all the living functions of respiration, ingestion, excretion, reproduction—and defense.

Ok so we know all about how the dinosaur cloning was done in Jurassic Park

But what about that veriforman that's been extinct since the cretaceous???

Not gonna find a mosquito full of that

Not gonna be able to patch that with a frog

ACHING BEDROOM,   A TOMB FOR LOST LITTLE GIRLS        [   ...   ]         zoey has learned to die within these walls,   holding every numb breath until her lungs exploded   :        self - contained annihilation meant much less clean - up       (        she was already such a burden on millie        --        there was no reason to force her roommate to scrape her innards off the walls        ).         she sits cross - legged,    a glass of water placed in her lap,     books tiptoeing their way around her bed.    ELLIE SUITS THIS PLACE BETTER THAN HER.     she grows like a loose leaf over ivory walls,    blonde hair haloing pink - kissed shoulders,    making zoey feel even more out of place.     she tugs a textbook into her lap,   nudging the water glass out of her way.        ‘   um,   ’        she begins,  gently,   trying to catch ellie’s attention.         ‘   did my roommate set you up to this?   ’

@veriforman​ liked for a starter    /   alex + ellie  

it    was    rare    that    they    would    give    alex    any    sort    of    INTERESTING    work    to    do    ,    so    when    he    got    wind    that    he    was    going    to    speak    with    DR    .    ELLIE    SATTLER    ,    alex    could    not    have    been    more    thrilled.    his    whole    journalism    career    had    been    leading    up    to    this    moment    ,    he    felt    ,    &    he    was    elated    now    that    they    had    begun    to    recognize    his    ambition    &    his    talent.    this    TRULY    was    an    assignment    that    was    worth    his    time    ,    &    he    had    tried    to    prepare    accordingly.    he    had    expected    someone    different    ,    someone    OLDER    ,    perhaps    ,    but    he    didn’t    mind    ;    he    enjoyed    seeing    young    people    do    great    things    ,    making    history.    PREFERRED    it    ,    even.
