Dino me please! Thanks for a “redeemer” puzzle, I’m missing far too many recently. Not this one though.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Stuck in a seminar, so I saved this one until this morning. This guy stopped by to confirm “correct”. Great puzzle!

Anti-spoilers, perhaps
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

I am gradually catching up after being gone last week. DINO ME!!

I had an inkling early and took just one short deviation before getting back on track.
