Yup, they were Deinonychus. A mistake made by Michael Crichton after reading a dinosaur classification book written by a man who was at odds with his contemporary paleontologists. He grouped them together as the same dinosaur - given the choice between the two names, it's no wonder Velociraptor was picked.
