Dilophosauridae (jun 2, 200000000 BC – jun 2, 188000000 BC)

Description:

Dilophosauridae is a family of medium to large sized theropod dinosaurs.[2] The name Dilophosauridae is derived from Greek, with “di” meaning “two,” “lophos” meaning “crest,” “sauros” meaning “lizard,” and “idae” meaning “family”[3]. While the name suggests that all dilophosaurids have two crests, this is not applicable to all dilophosaurids. The Dilophosauridae is anchored by the genus Dilophosaurus, and therefore the name comes from the distinctive two crests of the genus.
