A monster with style, this dino led an "extreme" life. About 190 million years ago, cryolophosaurus lived in what is now Antarctica, and while the weather was a bit warmer back then, the beast still had to endure cold, dark winters when the sun didn't rise for months at a time. This predator adapted to the tough life, and even added its own dash of color with a unique crest on its head. These Predators lived in the Jurassic Period, They Are Found in Antarctica, They're are borned in 1994 alone side with Sonic 3, Sonic and Knuckles Donkey Kong Country The Lion King Beverly Hills Cops 3 and The Land Before Time 2
Cryolophosaurus was first excavated from Antarctica's Early Jurassic, Pliensbachian aged Hanson Formation, formerly the upper Falla Formation, by paleontologist Dr. William Hammer in 1991. It was the first carnivorous dinosaur to be discovered in Antarctica, and the first non-avian dinosaur from the continent to be officially named. The sediments in which its fossils were found have been dated to about 196 to 188 million years ago, representing the Early Jurassic Period.
Cryolophosaurus is known from a skull, a femur and other material, all of which have caused its classification to vary greatly. The femur possesses many primitive characteristics that have classified Cryolophosaurus as a dilophosaurid, or a neotheropod outside of Dilophosauridae and Averostra, whereas the skull has many advanced features, leading the genus to be considered a tetanuran, an abelisaurid, a ceratosaur and even an allosaurid. Cryolophosaurus is currently considered to be a derived neotheropod, close to Averostra. Additionally, Cryolophosaurus possessed a distinctive "pompadour" crest that spanned the head from side to side. Based on evidence from related species and studies of bone texture, it is thought that this bizarre crest was used for intra-species recognition. The brain of Cryolophosaurus was also more primitive than those of other theropods.
