From his looks he might be a cearadactylus. Ceara and Sierra don't sound too different.
--- Quote ---Archie - Currently unknown origin. Any thoughts? What species is Archie?
--- End quote ---
I'm positive he is an Archelon which also explains the name.
--- Quote ---Strut - Currently unknown origin. Any thoughts?
--- End quote ---
Almost certainly a reference to Struthiomimus.

I'll add these changes to the list above. Thank you for the information, Malte. :yes "Struthiomimus" didn't occur to me last night, for whatever reason :bang

:lol I don't have any better ideas at this point :P:
NewOrder:
Rinkus - there are many pterosaurs that have this termination, there is one species with a long tale, like Rinkus's that is called Ranphorychus, probably miss-spelled, but something like this
Ozzie - maybe due to his uuzie nature, I don' know just came to me
action9000:
I like your thoughts for Rinkus' name. :yes I"ll post it up in the list.
I'm still not too sure about Ozzie's name. This is the best I can come up with so far.
The "O" representes "oviraptor", meaning Egg Thief.

I just recently had a little thought. Looking at where the names come from...
Tria - TRI cera tops
Cera - tri CERA tops
Topps - tri cera TOPS
Tria + Cera + Topps = triceratops.
Is this a subtle sign that the they will all remain together in future episodes and films, as a complete (like the word above), happy family? I wonder...
