The Sculptures are excellent!
Is this just one mesh per dinosour?
With a one mesh setup without 3d-texture, the closest you can get is a prop.

Octane has no support for 3D-texture as of yet, so if you are going to do a organic creature you are going to do it old school if you are going to get it as realistic as possible.
Which means that you need meshes for muscles, bone, skin, organs, fat separately. The density of each group needs to be set individually.
The bad part about this, is that it will require ALLOT of render time and RAM.

Displacement map is primarily used for static meshes if in rush. It still needs the polycount to work since it just pushing verts in one axis.
You can use displacement for increasing speed of an landscape if you are in rush.
If you have time: Displacement>Increase polycount until it looks good>Bake to Mesh>Tesselate>Remove displacement and save ram.
Lose the attitude thanks blackshore. 3d textures will slide with no correlation to movement. In other words details will appear to swim which produce undesierable and unreleatic results.
Displacement maps work marvellously for realistic animated creatures such as dinosaurs.
You didn’t specity your ultimate goal or what equipment you’re using, howeve you could use a number of high resolution textures, for quality output with no detectable stretching.
Combined with a skin/muscle system you could render out some holywood-level shots.
Go for it CarbonIX!
