[edit]- The title Ere Cenozoique Periode Tertiare appears to be derived from Ere Cénozoïque (Tertiaire et Quaternaire), a book by French geologist Charles Pomerol. "Dinobot Island" writer Don Glut is a massive, massive Paleontology geek. This also explains the book by Gideon Mantell.
- Hypothetically, Spike may possess some knowledge of French, if he intended to read this presumably un-translated book. Then again, maybe he just wanted to look at the pretty pictures.
- Despite Spike saying that he was going to read about dinosaurs, dinosaurs died out at the end of the Mesozoic, the era immediately before the Cenozoic. Maybe he doesn't know French or geological chronology.
