The falling action in A Sound of Thunder is hard to determine for sure. If the fight with the Dinosaur is the climax, then the falling action is probably when they get back to their own time and find out for sure that they've destroyed the future.
However, in the whole timeline-centric story, the climax in one way is when they get back, smell the chemicals, and find out that the totally wrong person has been elected, so the only falling action left after that is Eckels asking if they can undo killing the butterfly, and his realizing that he is about to be shot... even though it will do no good in correcting the problem.
