Details
Dilophosaurus roamed what is now northeastern Arizona in the Early Jurassic Period, just under 200 million years ago. Dilophosaurs were meat-eating dinosaurs over 20 feet long and weighed over 1,000 pounds. The pair of rounded crests on the skull is a notable feature of dilophosaur.
Sculptor Michael Trick created this life-size, bronze Dilophosaurus in 2002 for the museum. The society of Vertebrate Paleontology awarded this sculpture the Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize for "outstanding achievement in naturalistic art in paleontology."
