How do you get Compsognathus?

Open Dinos on the left rail and buy it for $6 once you have that cash. A claimed card shows CLAIMED. The index price does not rotate like a shop row.

How do you use Compsognathus?

Buy this before any shop item. It is the right first purchase because it is the wave 1 card, not because 4 damage for $6 is the best ratio. Pachycephalosaurus at wave 13 is a better damage-per-dollar buy later.
