I think our beloved, Mr. Jacques miscalculated slightly, if he was going for the Back To The Future reference.
The number of seconds Raven quotes is 1.11994212963 days, not 1.21.
Also, one of the really buggery problems in time travel, that no fiction has yet to really deal with, is the fact that the Earth is moving through space.
The spot the espressosourus left will be 6,350 miles further along its orbit around the sun and 43.179 degrees out-of-phase because of the Earth's rotation.
The puts it in orbit over Chicago when it returns.
As you can tell, I'm not much of a Raven fan.
Bloo:
Erm, just to let you guys know.

Holy FUCKING shit.

That was quick!
N.B.: the link above will point to the wrong strip tomorrow, making history strange; at that point the correct link will be this, which, however, will not work until then!

OK, now that we have a crossover to compensate (imperfectly,one hopes) for the orbital mechanics mike837go brought up, my vote is for espressosaurus 2 reappearing:
A) at Tai's party
B) at Dora and Jim's whatever-dinner (JUST ABOVE somebody's bowl of soup)
... Perhaps the end result will be a new CoD-TSB coffee delivery system. Order your coffee at tSB and a dinosaur appears. A day or so later.
Other possibilities come to mind ... "many-worlds" of them, in fact. Go nuts, fellow forumites ...

There's one short tale by Asimov that addresses that issue. I can't remember the title, but a couple of time-travelers go so far back (or forward, I don't recall) in time that the Earth (hel, the hole Solar System) is not even there.
EDIT: Still can't fin it. But there's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel#Time_travel_or_space-time_travel
