The RETROWAVE New Species Pack, is a pack that contains a lot of new species for Jurassic World Evolution. For now, 4 taxons that, for a long time, han been considered not-valid or even nomen oblitum. But thanks to some InGen genetic ingeenering and research, this three dinosaurs have been brought back to life!

I originally published each part as separate mods in the past, but now I've decided to port them to Course Forge too. In this case, unlike I'll do on nexus, all parts of the mod will be available in this page. In Nexus, there will still remain as separate mods. (This doesn't mean I'll stop uploading them on nexus, of course.)

The dinosaurs that come in this pack, are:

Manospondylus gigas:

This genus since the 2000's has been considered nomen oblitum mainly because it was believed to be the same genus as Tyrannosaurus. Years Later, InGen found some Tyrannosaurid fossils that would normally clasify as Tyrannosaurus bones. InGen scientists then found out that the DNA from the fossils actually belonged to a new Tyrannosaurid, a really close relative to Tyrannosaurus, that was given the name of this old genus, Manospondylus. Skin based on a concept art made by LeoTrex.

Monoclonius crossus:

Its name means "single sprout", referring to its appearance and it's unique horn. This animal for a log time has been tought to be a juvenile individual of Centrosaurus, but recent genetic research made by the InGen's scientists have revealed that Monoclonius was actually a sepparate animal, that had some crucial differences on it's anatomy, like bigger a horn, shorter snout, and some kind of "hump", in it's back. Design and skin inspired by the Jurassic Park Institute Monoclonius.

Trachodon mirabilis:

Trachodon was a large duck-bill hadrosaur from the Late-Cretaceous, and it's name 'Trachodon' means 'rough tooth'. It was described with seven unassociated teeth, one of which has double root, some of them even beeing from ceratopsians. Later on, InGen found fossils for a new hadrosaurs with simmilar characteristics to Trachodon, so they decided to name the creature with the same name. (Special thanks to my friend "ElTíoHammond", who made the skin for this one!)

Diracodon laticeps:

The InGen's "Retrowave" iniciative was a total success, at the point it became one of the main focuses of InGen, at the point where they decided to create their own creatures, using old and outdated descriptions as reference. This was the case of Diracodon laticeps, Genetically modified hybrid, that was designed using as inspiration a drawing of Stegosaurus laticeps made by A. Tobin, in 1884. With it's long back full of osteoderms, plates and spikes, this creature is something that earth has never seen bef
