Notes
- "Secret of the Dinosaur Skeleton!" was reprinted in From Beyond the Unknown #14.
- The story implies that the Moon emerged from a piece detached of the supercontinent Gondwana less than 150 million years ago. On Earth-One this may be true, but in our timeline, the Moon is almost as old as Earth.
- Researchers proposed in 2015 that Brontosaurus is a genus separate from Apatosaurus.
- Dublon Island is also known as Tonowas.
- Gondwanaland was a supercontinent that existed from the Neoproterozoic (about 550 million years ago) until the Jurassic (about 180 million years ago).
- Oarda cries, in the end: "When the men finally journey to the Moon, I shall go with them... to return home... after 150 million years!" The first manned flight to the Moon ocurred in 1969 (This book was published in 1962).
- Oarda's hair is blond in this story and her suit cover her legs; in From Beyond the Unknown reprint, her hair was recolored white and she has bare legs, but the flashback millions years ago shows her blond in the reprint.
- "The Attack of the Giant Dogs!" was reprinted in Strange Adventures #224, The Atomic Knights and Showcase Presents: The Great Disaster Featuring the Atomic Knights.
