Dinosaur of the day Dilophosaurus (revisited), an apex predator from the Early Jurassic of North America with a pair of large head crests (but no neck frill).

In dinosaur news this week:

• A new Spinosaurus species was reported last year from Niger
• The vertebrae in the Saurophaganax holotype may have been from sauropod(s)
• There’s a new sauropod dinosaur, Ardetosaurus viator
• There’s another sauropod with a tail club!
• There’s a new ornithopod dinosaur, Emiliasaura alessandri
• By the end of the Cretaceous, ornithopod dinosaurs had evolved teeth that made them very successful plant eaters
• Birds from the Late Cretaceous existed alongside dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and lived like today’s birds of prey
• A rare “flat-headed” juvenile pachycephalosaurid lived in the Late Cretaceous in what’s now Texas, U.S.
