DILOPHOSAUR
Classification: Teropods, Neoteropods
Body length: 6 m
Body weight: 500 kg - 1 t
Period: Early Jurassic
Locations: USA, China
The name Dilofosaurus is derived from the Greek words “di” (“du”), “lophos” (“rag”) and “sauros” (“lizard”); hence the "lizard of two rags."
It originated from the most peculiar feature of Dilofosaurus - a pair of rounded rags in the skull, made up of extensions of the nasal bones.
They are considered too fragile for someone else apart from the demonstration. Dilophosaurs were carnivores and a myth of dead skeletons because their teeth were too weak to kill a large prey.

nanotyrannus
Classification: Reptiles, saurichsia
Body length: 5 m
Body weight: 450 kg
Epoch: Late Cretaceous
Locations: North America
It could be that nanotyrannus is a juvenile tyrannosaurus. Nanotyrannus is the smallest-known tyrannosaurid and was one of the last tyrannosaurids that lived before the Extinction event of the Cretaceous period.
The majority of palaeontologists are convinced that the scull belongs to a juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex, although there are slight differences between these two species. Nanotyrannus has more teeth and some bones are interconnected, which was not found on a Tyrannosaurus.
