Michael Crichton's Velociraptors were based off Deinonychus. At that time, Deinonychus had been classified as a type of Velociraptor. They decided to use this same feature for the film. In the midst of filming, someone told Spielberg they had found a dinosaur almost as big as their raptors, Utahraptor. Utahraptor was not incorporated in the film whatsoever, since it was discovered and confirmed when filming was almost finished.
