These murals were painted in the early 1700s by James Thornhill and depict scenes from mythology and British history. For example, that's King James I in the chair up front, and the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in the upper left. (Image from this very nice virtual tour: https://virtualtour.ornc.org/

We know from these prop crates that this is the "Natural History Museum of North America," which is in NYC. So already it's kind of weird that this alt-AMNH would have these very British murals. The real AMNH rotunda features murals depicting the achievements of Theodore Roosevelt.

Ignoring Gallimimus the marginocephalian, why is this museum on "5th Street"? That would be way south, not on the upper west side like AMNH. I know this is a background prop and these words won't be visible in the film but, like, take some pride in your worldbuilding!

As everyone knows, the skeletons in the Jurassic Park visitor's center were provided by Research Casting International (the rex is a mix of LACM 23844 and Black Beauty parts, and the "Alamosaurus" is a Camarasaurus with a diplodocid skull).

And everyone surely knows that the Lockwood estate skeletons all came out of the Gaston Design catalog (https://gastondesign.com) —except for the sculpted Agathaumus-looking ceratopsian with no occipital condyle. But can we say anything about the fossils in the new trailer?

Honestly, I don't recognize any of these. The upright rex skeleton smells of CGI to me. Note that it has zero structural supports and therefore would have to be a cast. The skull being worked on by the guy in red isn't Stan, Wankel, or any other rex skull I recognize.
