There are many great dinosaurs in movies, but so few where all the dinosaurs are superb, Kong, and One Million Years B.C. lead the pack, the cute ones from Dinosaurus would be a little down the line, behind When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, the Lost World, and The Ghost of Slumber Mountain. If I am forgetting any, please remind me, and Valley of Gwangi comes in soon, but I really don't care for those Dinos as much, and certainly not all of them.

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.

Regarding George Lofgren, according to Mike Hankin's Master of the Majicks, Vol. 2, Lofgren invented a method for "rubberizing" the fur in MIGHTY JOE YOUNG, didn't work with Harryhausen again until EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS on which he assisted with floor effects (wearing black velvet and moving a light around to create the "foo lights"), assisted Harryhausen in building two wire-armatured maquettes of the Ymir (one of which is handled by Frank Puglia in the film) for 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH and "building props and other things."
On 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD he helped build the peaks of Colossa from castings of real rocks (and may have helped in the sculpting of the other miniatures) as well as handling "much of the puppet fabrication." "... the Roc's feathered exterior and that of its young chick (covered with duck down) were the taxidermy work of George Lofren." As Jim details, Hankin tells the story of the Dragon sculpt. He says no one knows which side was done by whom but that both are seen in the film so can be compared.
Hope this helps.
