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.

cearadactylus
Classification: Pterosaurus, ornithocheirus
Body length: 5 m
Body weight: 15 kg
Epoch: Early Cretaceous
Locations: South America
The name refers to the Brazilian state Ceará, where its fossils were found. This is a typical pterosaurus from the Cretaceous period. Based on its length and narrow beak with long, interlocking teeth, cearadactylus used to feed on fish from lakes and rivers.
Fossilised embryos revealed that due to the well-developed membrane of their wings, these creatures could fly as soon as they were born.
