Let's not forget the contribution of Arthur Hayward and his masterful sculpting of Rays Dino's for that film as well as most of the Dino's in Gwangi
If you Google image "Arthur Hayward" you'll get a few shots of the OMYBC Allosaurus, so it's certainly no secret. George Lofgren seems a more unsung hero, very few photos of him exist yet he supposedly created all of Ray's models up to and including FIRST MEN IN THE MOON. Of course it was Ray who brought the models to very convincing life. Hayward may have had the sculpting chops, but his stop-motion work falls far short of Ray's technique , and as already stated Ray did wonders with models somewhat less than realistically rendered for THE ANIMAL WORLD.
And let's not forget that Ray probably designed all of these puppets, he certainly did the Allosaurus from One Million Years B.C.  Hayward overstepped his position, and deserved to get canned.
