Daily Dino Fact: Elvisaurus Has Left the Building
Yeah, I'm a carnivore, but what I REALLY want is a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich.
How big was the crest on Cryolophosaurus’s head? – sherepta1
Cryolophosaurus (CRY-oh-LOAF-oh-SORE-us) was a theropod that lived in Antarctica in the Early Jurassic (190-185 million years ago). It was about 6 to 8 meters (20 to 26 feet) long. What sets it apart from other dinosaurs is the strange crest on its head that runs from side to side rather than front to back. I was not able to find out anything about the size of the crest, but the skull itself was 65 centimeters (25 inches) long.
After the skull was discovered, some scientist with a sense of humor decided that the crest looked like Elvis Presley’s pompadour hairstyle in the 50’s. That’s why the Cryolophosaurus is sometimes called (jokingly) Elvisarus! Thank ya, thank ya very much!
