Edward Carr or Eddie Car was the engineer and equipment specialist recruited by John Hammond for the Isla Sorna research team.

Eddie Carr worked for InGen and most of the vehicles and equipment used by the InGen Harvest team were also a work by Eddi Carr himself.

The 1997 Mercedes-Benz ML 320’s that Eddie Carr has modified were able to pull up the Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab from the cliff during the tyrannosaurus Rex attack with the winch and rope attached to the front of it.

 

 

Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab – Vehicles of the InGen research team

The RV Mobile lab of the InGen Research Team was a Fleetwood RV, model 1996-1997 Fleetwood Southwind Storm that were modified with attached trailers for the Isla Sorna expedition.

Eddie Carr himself modified the Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab with features such as a GPS system, first aid kits including morphine injections, satellite communication systems, data base of all dinosaurs on Isla Sorna, mini biology lab that was capable of dissection and microscope imaging and analysis that enabled a degree of medical treatment and biological analysis.

 

 

The RV Mobile Lab also had home appliances and a shower for accommodation. The Fleetwood RV Mobile Lab eventually was pushed off from the cliff of the basecamp of the InGen research team after the team treated the infant t-rex’s injuries which the scent that the adult tyrannosaurus followed.

 

 

High Hide & Lindstradt Rifle & Purple Cone venom

The High Hide is a fictional equipment developed by Eddie Carr that served as a portable tree house like shelter. Dr. Ian Malcolm, Kelly and Eddie saw the tyrannosaurus rex Buck and Doe moving to the RV while they were on the High Hide.

The rifle by Eddie Carr was a fictional rifle called the Lindstradt Rifle that used an ammunition filled with purple cone venom.

 

 

The purple cone or the Conus purpurascens is a sea snail of the cone snail family. Although the purple cone or the Conus purpurascens has venom, it isn’t proven that this particular species has such a high toxicity top humans or animals.

Many cone snails have venom and depending on their species, there is a different lethality, however the purple cone venom isn’t as lethal as it was described in the movie.

Nick Van Owen has also brought the injured infant t-rex to the Mobile Lab RV and also took the ammunition of Roland Tembo that prevented him from taking down the tyrannosaurus rexes later on.

 

 

Thus, there are many controversies over him and Dr. Sarah Harding as many held them responsible for the death of people including Eddie Carr. Nick Van Owen successfully sends a radio distress signal to InGen headquarters during the whole chaos.

Nick Van Owen stealing the live ammunition of Roland Tembo’s guns led to Roland Tembo switching to tranquilizing ammunition thus leading to the San Diego Incident as well.
