-
Archaeopteryx
Archaeopteryx fossils show evidence of both reptilian teeth and feathered wings.
-
Argentinosaurus
Argentinosaurus's heart, if it were proportionally similar to a giraffe's, would have needed to be the size of a small car to pump blood to its head.
-
Austroraptor
Austroraptor, despite being a relatively large dromaeosaurid, had unusually short arms compared to its body size.
-
Barosaurus
Barosaurus had a tail so long it could act as a whip, potentially used for defense or communication.
-

-
Chasmosaurus
Chasmosaurus had an enormous frill, which may have been brightly colored for display, and could reach up to 6 feet across!
-
Citipati
Citipati fossils have been found in brooding positions, suggesting they cared for their eggs like modern birds.
-
Coelophysis
Coelophysis, a dinosaur from the Triassic period, had surprisingly hollow bones, making it lightweight and agile.
-
Compsognathus
Compsognathus is one of the smallest known dinosaurs, about the size of a chicken.

Concavenator
Concavenator, a theropod dinosaur, had a distinctive hump or sail on its back, the purpose of which is still debated by paleontologists.
-
Corythosaurus
Corythosaurus had a large, hollow crest on its head that likely acted as a resonating chamber, allowing it to make loud, low-frequency calls.
-
Cryolophosaurus
Cryolophosaurus's head crest wasn't upright like other dinosaurs with crests; it was more of a flat, forward-curving "Elvis" style.
-
Daspletosaurus
