FUN!

Book Grant is an amalgamation of several paleontologists: 95% Jack Horner (also bearded and bespectacled), and subtle influences by Bob Bakker, John Ostrom, and "enthusiast" Gregory Paul.

Book version of Alan Grant is primarily a Hadrosaur specialist, and was credited for many discoveries and theories attributed to Horner. Bakker gets a nod here and there for some of the T. rex theories, and Ostrom and Paul's influence comes shining through when the focus on Velociraptors happen at the end of the book, but all of the nesting, and social aspects of dinosaurs is ALL 100% Horner stuff back in the late 80's when Crichton was doing his research.
