Could be a difference.
I was just trying to conjure up the image for myself. I got the tea-leaf part, but the dinosaur was eluding me.

Divining from symbols i.e. dreams, appearing images in tea leaves, in splatter chicken blood, thrown pile of bones, etc cetera ad nauseum - Really doesn't have many good guidelines.
I read through many dictionaries of symbols and I soon discovered that everyone agreed not to agree on what means what. Why do you suppose that is? Do you suppose they were all wrong? Or were they in fact right?
For what purpose these symbols? usually to 'read' the person or the person's future or spiritual path. The symbols, images, etc that we use may have similarities, but it is the feelings and reactions they evoke at the reading that really matters.
The tools of divining (say splattering chicken blood) is just that, a tool. It gives the reader a point to focus on, it also gives the reader a random set of possibilities which they 'see' as an image. The old Rorschach Tests was very similar to this, except the reader in the case was the doctor who wrote down what you saw in the splatter of ink. Remember, he always told you there are no right answers.
The images seen are usually not photographic replicas, they are suggestions which the brain and the eye form a 'picture' of something which will always cause some feeling some reaction. These are the true things that a reader listens too, and these are the things which reveal hidden messages.
What I would read out of a Dino in the tea bowl and what you will read out of a dino in a tea bowls may be two different things. Because the image we see will cause us to feel different things.
There are commonalities, such as a heart always invoking the visualization of love or passion that is a cultural symbol which everyone recognized and knows what it means. Thus St Valentines day is filled with hearts.
Many of the dictionaries will have common meanings for some symbols - only because our society and our racial memory shares these common elements.
I fear that Dinos are not one of these.
