This is one of the best illustrated dinosaur-related playing card decks I have run across.  There are four different illustrations of each of the 13 dinosaurs and each card provides different types information as follows:
 
  • Spades feature bust illustrations and denote the Geologic Age of the dinosaurs (e.g., Early Jurassic)
  • Hearts feature full body illustrations of two of the dinosaurs and denote the Family to which the dinosaurs belong (e.g., Ankylosauridea)
  • Clubs feature full body illustrations of a single dinosaur and Fossil Sites from which the dinosaurs were discovered (e.g., Arizona, USA)
  • Diamonds feature yet a different full body illustration of a single dinosaur and the descriptive name of the dinosaurs (e.g., Terrible Claw)
 
Oddly, there is only one Joker in the deck; a Pteranodon which included an index for the symbols used in each suit.  

S = Spades, H = Hearts, C = Clubs, D = Diamonds
