| - Cryolophosaurus was a theropod, meat-eating dinosaur that lived in the Rainy Basin.
- Cryolophosaurus was a relative of ceratosaurus. Discovered in antarctica it was a large sized meat eater with jaws to suit. It lived alongside prosauropods found in a similair area.
- Cryolophosaurus is one of the 14 local species of dinosaurs in the Forest of Eternity,
- Cryolophosaurus, ("frosted crest lizard"), was one of the first carnivorous giants of the Jurassic, and at 6 m in length it is one of the biggest dinosaurs to have been found in Antarctica.
- Cryolophosaurus ellioti was known for its unique crest, as well as for being the first named species of dinosaur from Antarctica. It has been classified in numerous theropod groups since its discovery. For now it is classfied as a Tetanuran, but there are still possiblities that it is a dilophosaurid.
- It is the first carnivorous dinosaur to be discovered in Antarctica and the first dinosaur of any kind from the continent to be officially named. Dating from the Early Jurassic Period, it was originally described as the earliest known tetanuran, though subsequent studies have found that it is probably a dilophosaurid. Nesbitt (et al., 2009) using the characters of Tawa found it to be a neither dilophosaurid nor averostran neotheropod but the sister group of a clade composed of dilophosaurids and averostrans. Cryolophosaurus was about 6 to 7.9 meters (20 to 26 feet) in length, which was far smaller than Allosaurus, which grew to a maximum of 12.1 meters (40 feet) long.
- L'holotype, nommé Cryolophosaurus ellioti, trouvé dans la Formation de Hanson, est fondé sur un squelette partiel (os du bassin, fémur, tibia, métatarses, vertèbres, etc.), dont il manque principalement la partie antérieure. Il se caractérise par la présence d'une crête présente sur le crâne recourbée vers l'arrière. L'animal adulte mesurait 7, 50 mètres de long et pesait 500 kilos. Cryolophosaurus a vécu durant le Jurassique inférieur entre 189 et 183 millions d’années avant notre ère.
- Cryolophosaurus possessed a distinctive crest on its head that spanned the head from side to side, similar to a Spanish comb. 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.
- Cryolophosaurus (meaning "cold crest lizard") was a large theropod dinosaur, with a bizarre crest on its head that looked like a Spanish comb. Due to the resemblance of this feature to Elvis Presley's pompadour haircut from the 1950s, this dinosaur was at one point informally known as "Elvisaurus".
- thumb|400px El Cryolophosaurus fue uno de los pocos dinosaurios hallados en la Antártida, donde la capa de hielo impide excavar en busca de fósiles El Cryolophosaurus era un pariente cercano del Dilophosaurus, pero sus dientes no era tan afilados y su mandíbula era lo suficientemente potente para matar presas vivas. Tenía tres dedos con garras en sus brazos, relativamente largos. Sus patas traseras eran muy fuertes y le permitían correr a gran velocidad compensando su peso con la cola. Una cosa destacable de este animal es que tenía una cresta en la cabeza, sólo la tenían los machos y servía como cortejo durante el apareamiento. Este animal vivía en unas condiciones extremas, por lo que se cree que tenía plumas para resguardarse del frío. Durante el verano, que duraba 6 meses este animal c
