	Dilophosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dilophosaurus was a theropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period.
		Dilophosaurus may be a primitive member of the clade containing both ceratosaurian and tetanuran theropods.
		Dilophosaurus featured in the 1993 movie Jurassic Park and in the original novel by Michael Crichton (on which the film was based).

		The terror of the Early Jurassic, Dilophosaurus was one of the earliest large theropods.
		Dilophosaurus had two parallel crests on the top of its head, from the top of the snout to the top of the skull between the eyes.
		Dilophosaurus lived with the smaller theropods and the primitive ornithischian dinosaurs in the Kayenta Formation of Arizona.

	Dilophosaurus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Dilophosaurus is found in Arizona, and possibly other places in the American southwest, and is a fairly usual early theropod, save for two things; its large size, and its odd-looking crests on its head.
		The Kayenta Formation, where Dilophosaurus has been found, was dominated by large, shallow streams with stands of trees around their edges, and large dune fields.
		While Dilophosaurus was likely an active hunter, it no doubt would have eaten anything dead that it happened across as well This image was done at the behest of ReBecca Hunt, for her use on he website.

	Dilophosaurus Closeup
		According to the current taxonomy of the carnivorous theropod dinosaurs (of which Dilophosaurus is undoubtedly a member), Dilophosaurus is considered to be a ceratosaur, the earliest and most "primitive" of the theropod groups.
		Actually, we know from other specimens of Dilophosaurus that it had a fourth and fifth digit on each pes, but these are extremely reduced, and were not preserved in the holotype specimen.
		This short note established the new name for Dilophosaurus, after the discovery of the crests on the skull in 1964 proved that this dinosaur was not Megalosaurus but something quite new.

		Dilophosaurus was a speedy, slender, bipedal (walked on two legs), meat-eater that lived during the early Jurassic period.
		Dilophosaurus walked on two muscular legs and was a relatively fast runner, leaving bird-like footprints on land.
		Dilophosaurus' leg length was about about 1.65 m; it's stride length (distance between footprints) was about 2.13 m.

		An early meat eating dinosaur, Dilophosaurus was of a more primitive group than the better known Allosaurus or Tyrannosaurus.
		Two rather unique features distinguish Dilophosaurus; two large, parallel crests running on top of its head, and a very mobile snout that was not firmly attached to the upper skull.
		Dilophosaurus was of slender build with sharp but very thin teeth.

		Coelophysoidea: The general form of a coelophysoid is a long, low body combined with a long neck and skull, with short, effectively three-fingered hands (coelophysoids sometimes had a splint of a fourth finger with a single phalanx on it).
		Dilophosaurus has been the victim of three important misunderstandings: that it is a species of Megalosaurus; that its head crests and "weak" snout made it unable to hunt live prey; and the monstrosity exhibited in Jurassic Park looked like the real thing.
		In its case, though, they are smaller, and formed only by the nasals: if you imagine the animal as a toy, the crests are like a bit of plastic "flash" along the top of the skull in front of the eyes.

		It was so wet and green that the dilophosaurus, a plant-eating dinosaur the size of a horse, roamed contentedly while munching on giant ferns and other plants.
		All that remains of the landscape today is the brilliant red-and-pink sands of the Painted Desert, hand-size pieces of petrified wood and wind-carved sandstone boulders that look as if an artist had piled them on top of each other for the visual effect.

		Instead it may have ripped at its prey with its claws, and ate from leftover carcasses.

		Dilophosaurus was known from fossils dating back to 1942, but not formally described until 1954.
		They may well have needed to cooperate to hunt the contemporary prosauropods, some of which were already well on their way to becoming the giants of 50 million years later.
		Note also that, even though the dinosaurs were only just spreading into their various types and niches, the air was already full of flitting pterosaurs, which had evolved millions of years earlier.

		The bones of two fairly intact Dilophosaurus' were found by an Indian in the Navajo country in1940, but it was not until the summer of 1942 that the bones were retrieved by paleontologist, Dr. Sam Wells and taken to the Berkeley campus.
		In the lab it was clear that the animal had a double crest on the top of its head and that the name should be changed to Dilophosaurus.
		In fact, the real Dilophosaurus was much larger, about 20 feet long, 9 feet tall, and weighed 2 tons.

		One of the earliest carnivores, we now know Dilophosaurus is actually poisonous, spitting its venom at its prey, causing blindness and eventually poralysis, allowing the carnivore to eat at its leisure.
		Some scientists beleive Dilophosaurus was more of a scavenger than an active hunter.
		Dilophosaurus spits an acidic venom which blinds and immobilizes its prey, enabling Dilophosaurus to finish the attack easily.

		Dilophosaurus lived in the early Jurassic from about 200 to 185 million years ago and was a more primitive carnivour than the later Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus.
		It is not as well known as other meat eaters since so far the fossil examples are poorer and less complete, currently having been found only in Arizona, USA.
		Dilophosaurus was slenderly built with smallish but very sharp teeth, suggesting a quick and agile hunter that fed mainly on smaller co-inhabitants of the early Jurassic.

		Diagnosis- (from Welles, 1984) ilium differs from Dilophosaurus wetherilli in dorsal edge less convex over pubic peduncle; lower preacetabular process; smaller supracetabular crest; narrower ischial peduncle; femur differs from Liliensternus liliensterni in less ventrally directed femoral head; more proximally placed anterior trochanter; lower and longer fourth trochanter; less sigmoid femoral shaft anteriorly.
		When Cryolophosaurus and "D." sinensis are entered into Rauhut's (2000) matrix, and the latter is constrained to be a basal tetanurine while Dilophosaurus wetherilli is constrained to be a coelophysoid, "D." sinensis ends up as a basal tetaturine too.
