Publication history.
"GURPS Dinosaurs" is a 128-page softcover book designed by Stephen Dedman, with additional material by Kirk Tate, interior art by Scott Cooper, Russel Hawley, and Pat Ortega, and cover art by Paul Koroshetz. It was published by Steve Jackson Games in 1996. 
In the 2014 book "Designers & Dragons: The '80s", game historian Shannon Appelcline noted that Steve Jackson Games decided in the early 1990s to stop publishing adventures, and as a result "SJG was now putting out standalone "GURPS" books rather than the more complex tiered book lines. This included more historical subgenre books. Some, such as "GURPS Camelot" (1991) and "GURPS China" (1991), were clearly sub-subgenres, while others like "GURPS Old West" (1991) and "GURPS Middle Ages I" (1992) covered genres notably missing before this point."
Reception.
In the December 1997 edition of "Dragon" (Issue #242), Rick Swan was ambivalent about this book, noting "As a reality-based reference, "GURPS Dinosaurs" scores high, cataloging literally hundreds of prehistoric creatures in remarkable detail." But Swan didn't think the book went beyond basic descriptions, commenting, "when it comes to putting all this together in a campaign, "GURPS Dinosaurs" pretty much leaves you on your own. There’s a ton of hard data, but not much about roleplaying; that is, we’re told a lot about what dinosaurs look like, but darn little about how they behave." He also thought the included scenarios were "too skimpy", and the book lacked sufficient illustrations. Swan concluded by giving the book an average rating of 4 out of 6, saying, ""GURPS Dinosaurs" is good as far as it goes; it just doesn’t go far enough."
