In a period of time spanning less than 35 million years, they went from very small semi aquatic lizards to the apex predators of the world’s oceans. This success comes from the mosasaurs ability to rapidly adapt to a variety of aquatic habitats while at the same time attacking and hunting quite literally anything that was in the water with them. In all seriousness the only thing a big mosasaur needed to be concerned about was an even bigger mosasaur, which makes mosasaurs vicious, fascinating, terrifying and altogether awesome. - [Spinosaurs: The Specialised Predatory Dinosaurs of the Spinosauridae](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/spinosaurs/): Dinosaurs have been popular subjects of interest ever since the very first ones were discovered and reconstructed back in the nineteenth century, and out of all these it is usually the meat eating ones that get the most exposure. - [THE Tyrannosaurs: Dinosaur Predators](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/tyrannosaurs/): Say Tyrannosaurus rex and everyone knows what you are talking about, but say Guanlong or Alioramus and you might be met with a blank stare. - [Carcharodontosauridae](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/carcharodontosauridae/): As a group the carcharodontosaurids don’t seem to receive a lot of attention in popular science, which is surprising since when they are studied upon an individual genus by genus basis, the carcharodontosaurids are actually among the most popular theropod dinosaurs in the world. - [The Abelisaurs](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/abelisaurs/): List of some abelisaurs - [Bear dogs of the Amphicyonidae](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/bear-dogs-of-the-amphicyonidae/): At the start of the twenty-first century ‘bear dogs’ began making frequent appearances in popular media about extinct mammals, particularly predatory ones. - [Terror Birds of the Phorusrhacidae](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/terror-birds-of-the-phorusrhacidae/): Known in popular culture the world over as ‘terror birds’ the scientific term for these birds is actually phorusrhacids, after the Phorusrhacidae group to which they all belong. Naming taxonomic families is actually a simple process of naming it after the first member of the group to be discovered by science, in this case Phorusrhacos. Upon its naming by Florentino Ameghino in 1887 no precedent for large carnivorous birds existed in South America (Although other large birds were known in other parts of the world), and Ameghino thought that the lower toothless jawbone (the actual skull was not yet known) actually belonged to some large mammal. However Ameghino soon realised that his original description was a mistake, something that was confirmed by new and more complete fossil material. Large flightless birds are actually well-known across the world, but their diets have always been a matter of strong debate as their beaks are well adapted for either a carnivorous or herbivorous lifestyle. Phorusrhacids however have one key difference in their beaks, and that is the way they strongly curve downwards to form a ‘pick’ that protrudes well below the lower jaw. This feature is seen on every single living bird that feeds by ripping flesh from the body of other animals and is seen as a clear indication that phorusrhacids were meat eaters. This dietary preference combined with the immense size of some of their associated genera is why they are known the world over as terror birds. - [False sabre toothed cats -The nimravids and barbourfelids](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/false-sabre-toothed-cats-the-nimravids-and-barbourofelids/): When many people think sabre-toothed cat (or more incorrectly sabre-toothed tiger) they usually conjure up images of genera such as Megantereon and Smilodon, large Pliocene/Pleistocene era big cats that have the trademark oversized canines. - [Prehistoric sharks through the ages](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/prehistoric-sharks-through-the-ages/): Today sharks are a source of both fascination and fear for people but one fact about them that is still often overlooked is that they are one of the oldest types of animal on the planet. Also while the sharks of today form a critical part of the oceanic ecosystem they are no way near as bizarre or outright terrifying as some of their prehistoric ancestors. - [Prehistoric Snakes](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/prehistoric-snakes/): List of some prehistoric snake genera - [The Sauropod Dinosaurs](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/sauropod-dinosaurs/): List of some of the sauropod dinosaurs - [Archaeoraptor: a Fossil That was not what it seemed](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/archaeoraptor/): In palaeontology all fossils are valuable, and each can help piece together the prehistoric world that existed before the presence of mankind. - [Pack Hunting Dinosaurs?](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/pack-hunting-dinosaurs/): When the first carnivorous dinosaur remains were discovered they were found as isolated individuals, occasionally in close proximity to herbivorous dinosaurs that may have been their prey. This gave rise to the notion that the dinosaurs were solitary hunters in a similar fashion to some of the predators today such as tigers and bears. However new fossil discoveries around the world combined with modern study of these ancient predators has steadily eroded the acceptance of this notion. Slowly, more fossil sites are being discovered which show the presence of more than one predator in that location. In 1931 Barnum Brown was recovering the remains of the dinosaur Tenontosaurus when another fossil specimen of a carnivorous dinosaur which would later be named Deinonychus was also discovered. But here it wasn't the discovery of a new predatory dinosaur that was important but the fact that a total of five individuals of the same species were discovered around the same Tenontosaurus skeleton. It was not until the late 1960s that the potential importance of this site was realised when the fossil material was studied by a team led by John Ostrom. Furthermore, the site would prove not to be unique, with other Tenontosaurus and Deinonychus remains (usually the teeth of Deinonychus) being discovered together. It is certain that Deinonychus fed upon Tenontosaurus but the questions that beg asking are did Deinonychus make the kill? and if so how could such a small predator kill such a large herbivore? The quick answer is that as an individual hunter Deinonychus couldn't. But as a pack? Immediately the tantalising possibility that some dinosaurs were pack hunters was too much to resist, and the notion quickly spread throughout the world. However this idea was not and still is not universally accepted by all. One answer is that Deinonychus was not involved in the killing but merely scavenged the kill of another predator. This has also given rise to the comparison of a feeding hierarchy, as seen in modern day Komodo Dragons (Varanus komodoensis). Komodo Dragons do not form groups and remain solitary creatures throughout their lives. As well as being powerful hunters they are also known to search out and eat carrion, something that they may be able to smell from over five miles away. This means that several Komodo dragons can and often do approach the same carcass, and in this situation a hierarchy of the largest and strongest eat first while the smaller ones wait for them to eat their fill and leave the carcass. However, if another Komodo Dragon challenges the other then a fight ensues for dominance of the meal. Although not always fatal, the loser can be so badly injured that it is killed and actually ends up getting eaten by other Komodo Dragons. In this analogy, The Deinonychus remains discovered with the Tenontosaurus represent the killed losers that challenged for a right to feed at the remains. The problem with this kind of comparison is that you are applying animal behaviour that has been studied as it happened, in a species that is well known to us, to an animal that died out 108 million years ago and is only known to us from bones. While a good theory and a plausible one, it is not an absolute answer that can be applied to either Deinonychus or other predatory dinosaurs as a whole. Another possible answer is that of a predator trap. There are many kinds of predator trap but they essentially work upon the same principal; An animal dies or becomes trapped in a hazardous area such as a tar pit. Predators then come to feed upon it but end up getting trapped themselves. A third answer is that they were all killed by some event such as a flood or landslide, resulting in their fossilisation together. - [Pterosaurs – An Overview](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/pterosaurs-an-overview/): (Revision 3) ## Pages - [Dinosaurs That Start With Z](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-z/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With Y](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-y/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With X](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-x/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With W](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-w/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With V](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-v/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With U](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-u/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With T](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-t/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With S](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-s/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With R](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-r/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With Q](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-q/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With P](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-p/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With O](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-o/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With N](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-n/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With M](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-m/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With L](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-l/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With K](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-k/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With J](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-j/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With I](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-i/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With H](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-h/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With G](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-g/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With F](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-f/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With E](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-e/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With D](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-d/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With C](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-c/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With B](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-b/): A - [Dinosaurs That Start With A](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/dinosaurs-that-start-with-a/): A - [Triassic Period Dinosaurs](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/triassic-dinosaurs/): Also Read: Jurassic Dinosaurs , Cretaceous Dinosaurs - [Jurassic Period Dinosaurs](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/jurassic-dinosaurs/): Also Read: Triassic Dinosaurs , Cretaceous Dinosaurs - [Cretaceous Period Dinosaurs](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/cretaceous-dinosaurs/): Also Read: Triassic Dinosaurs , Jurassic Dinosaurs. - [List](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/list/) - [Time periods of Earth history](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/time-periods/): Below is a list of the commonly used eras that are used to identify differing stages in the planet Earth’s history. - [Prehistoric Wildlife](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/): const eaglePaths = ; - [Contact Us](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/contact/): Your thoughts and questions are important to us.

This prehistoric flying reptile, named Dearc sgiathanach (pronounced jark ski-an-ach), was one of the largest of its time. ## Species - [Migmanychion](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/migmanychion/): Migmanychion was a small mysterious theropod dinosaur that lived about 121 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous of what is now Inner Mongolia, China. - [Platytholus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/platytholus/): Platytholus was a dome-headed dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of Montana, about 66 million years ago. - [Euoplocephalus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/euoplocephalus/): Euoplocephalus was one of the best-known armored dinosaurs, living in western North America during the Late Cretaceous, about 76–67 million years ago. - [Lokiceratops](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/lokiceratops/): Lokiceratops was a large centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Judith River Formation of Montana, USA. Its name means “Loki’s horned face,” a reference to the Norse trickster god and to its unusual array of horns. The species name, rangiformis, means “reindeer-like,” in allusion to its sprawling, ornate frill ornamentation. - [Huashanosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/huashanosaurus/): Huashanosaurus was an early eusauropod sauropod dinosaur from the Wangmen Formation of Guangxi, southern China. - [Wudingloong](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/wudingloong/): Wudingloong is an early massopodan sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Lower Jurassic Yubacun Formation in Yunnan Province, China. It is represented by a partial skeleton including the skull, neck vertebrae, and forelimb. It is the oldest sauropodomorph known from East Asia and an important early member of Massopoda. - [Istiorachis](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/istiorachis/): Istiorachis was a large iguanodontian dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, England. The name means “sail spine,” a reference to its hyperelongated vertebral spines, while the species name honours British sailor Dame Ellen MacArthur. - [Protathlitis](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/protathlitis/): Interactive fossil Map of Protathlitis, along with its chronological bar chart of fossil discoveries. - [Dubreuillosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/dubreuillosaurus/): Interactive fossil Map of Dubreuillosaurus, along with its chronological bar chart of fossil discoveries. - [Abelisaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/abelisaurus/): Interactive fossil Map of Abelisaurus, along with its chronological bar chart of fossil discoveries. - [Pectinodon](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/pectinodon/): Interactive fossil Map of Pectinodon, along with its chronological bar chart of fossil discoveries. - [Hesperornis](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/hesperornis/): Discover 65+ Fossil Record of Hesperornis with our interactive fossil map and timeline chart. - [Walliserops](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/walliserops/): Walliserops is a unique type of trilobite with it having a trident on its head. It also had spines all around it but one common similarity with all Walliserops species that they all have the signature trident on there head. - [Flexicalymene](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/flexicalymene/): Flexicalymene is a commonly found trilobite. It can be confused with Calymene. - [Ophthalmosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/ophthalmosaurus/): The large number of remains relating to Ophthalmosaurus has not only indicated that it was a common ichthyosaur of the late Jurassic, but they have formed the basis to a lot of research about ichthyosaurs in general. - [Archaeocursor Asiaticus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/archaeocursor-asiaticus/): Archaeocursor asiaticus, a small-bodied (~1 meter in body length) ornithischian dinosaur based on a nearly complete left femur found in the Ziliujing Formation of Chongqing, China. - [Mammuthus Subplanifrons](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/mammuthus-subplanifrons/): Not the most famous of the mammoths, M. subplanifrons still remains the earliest known species of the genus with some of the more famous species such as M. primigenius (woolly mammoth) and M. columbi (Columbian mammoth) not appearing until much later in the Pleistocene era. - [Coccosteus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/coccosteus/): Although Coccosteus could reach up to forty centimetres in length it was often less than half this at just over twenty centimetres. - [Isotelus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/isotelus/): Explore the known fossil locations of Isotelus with the interactive map with over 1135+ fossil records. - [Cerdodon](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/cerdodon/): Cerdodon is a little known and possibly dubious genus of non-mammalian synapsid. - [Levnesovia](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/levnesovia/): Interactive fossil Map of Levnesovia, along with its chronological bar chart of fossil discoveries. - [Quinkana](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/quinkana/): Quinkana was one of the last surviving terrestrial crocodiles, and disappears from the fossil records as recently as forty thousand years ago. This disappearance also coincides with the disappearance of many of the large mammals from Australia and is thought to be a result of the first humans arriving on the continent. Even if Quinkana did not come into direct conflict with human hunters, it may have simply been out competed by them. - [Mastodonsaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/mastodonsaurus/): The name Mastodonsaurus means ‘breast tooth lizard’, and this came about from the observation of G. F. Jaegar who was describing a broken tooth. Later, when other teeth of Mastodonsaurus were found they were found to be no different from the teeth of most other temnospondyls. - [Myosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/myosaurus/): Myosaurus is a genus of dicynodont therapsid that so far seems to have been spread across South Africa and Antarctica, though it should be remembered that back in the early Triassic these locations were much closer together. - [Emausaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/emausaurus/): Emausaurus is a primitive genus of thyreophoran dinosaur that lived in Europe during the early Jurassic. Emausaurus was first described by a description of the skull, though osteoderms (bony plates that were in the skin) are also known. Emausaurus seems to have been a small to mid-sized dinosaur that would have relied upon the bony plates in the skin to form a last line of defence against the teeth and claws of predatory dinosaurs. - [Litargosuchus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/litargosuchus/): Initially thought to represent Pedeticosaurus, though not assigned to an exact species, Litargosuchus was later established upon the description of a complete skull and partial post cranial skeleton. Litargosuchus would have been a fast running predator of smaller vertebrates such as lizards, though larger invertebrates may have also been taken. - [Helveticosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/helveticosaurus/): For a long time Helveticosaurus was thought to be one of the placodonts, specialist marine reptiles that lived in the Triassic seas that fed upon shellfish. However further analysis has revealed that only the vertebra of Helveticosaurus are similar to the placodonts, which has led to Helveticosaurus being re-classed as a diapsid (two holes in the back of the skull, similar to lizards) and possibly an archosaur, reptiles that were the dominant land animals of the Triassic before the advent of the large dinosaurs. - [Brontosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/brontosaurus/): The turbulent history of Brontosaurus - [Paraentelodon](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/paraentelodon/): Although not especially one of the most well-known of the entelodonts, Paraentelodon is one of the largest known genera being comparable to Entelodon and Daeodon in size. Paraentelodon appears in Asia as the earlier Entelodon began to decline and continues to be largest currently known genus of entelodont in Asia in the early stages of the Miocene. Daeodon also seems to have held a similar ecological niche as Paraentelodon during the early Miocene, but is so far only known from North America. - [Thanatotheristes](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/thanatotheristes/): At the time of the genus description, Thanatotheristes is known only from very partially preserved skull and jaw bones. However, these bones show that Thanatotheristes was a large tyrannosaur, and one with a close similarity to Daspletosaurus. The discovery of Thanatotheristes has also added further evidence that the tyrannosaurs of Laramidia (the land mass of North America that was to the left of the Western Interior Seaway that once submerged the middle of North America) were divided into North and South populations, with distinct differences between them. - [Canis lupus cristaldii a.k.a. Sicilian wolf](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/canis-lupus-cristaldii/): The Sicilian wolf is a distinct sub species of the gray wolf with the species designation Canis lupus cristaldii. - [Megapaloelodus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/megapaloelodus/): Megapaloelodus is a genus of extinct bird close in form and ecological niche to a modern flamingo, though at the same time Megapaloelodus was only a distant relative. Megapaloelodus is immediately notable for having a distinctly different ankle structure to that of a modern flamingo. This ankle may have allowed the leg to become locked so that Megapaloelodus could stand upright for extended periods, though the specific function is still not known with absolute certainty. - [Eousdryosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/eousdryosaurus/): Eousdryosaurus is a genus of small ornithopod dinosaur that lived in Portugal during the late Jurassic. The name Eousdryosaurus means ‘eastern Dryosaurus’, a reference to how Eousdryosaurus is similar to the genus Dryosaurus, but globally lived further to the east, Eousdryosaurus in Portugal, and Dryosaurus in North America. - [Dinaelurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/dinaelurus/): Dinaelurus is little known nimravid that is so far only known from the John Day Formation in Oregon, USA. Other North American nimravids that Dinaelurus could have possibly come into contact with include Hoplophoneus, Dinictis, Eusmilus and particularly the type genus of the Nimravidae, Nimravus. - [Cynodontosuchus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/cynodontosuchus/): When named in 1896, Cynodontosuchus was not only the earliest known sebecosuchian crocodile, it was also the first confirmed as living before the Cenozoic period. Since this time there are now several Cretaceous sebecosuchian crocodiles known to us, and one of these genera, Baurusuchus, has been proposed by some to be a junior synonym to Cynodontosuchus. Critics of this theory however point out that Cynodontosuchus has a much deeper rostrum that Baurusuchus, as well as only five pairs of teeth in the maxilla, significantly less than Baurusuchus. - [Rhipaeosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/rhipaeosaurus/): A procolophonomorph parareptile from Russia, Rhipaeosaurus lived during the Mid Permian. Rhipaeosaurus was originally placed within its own group the Rhipaeosauridae, though later analysis seems to place Rhipaeosaurus somewhere between being a nycteroleterid to a basal pareiasaur. - [Carsosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/carsosaurus/): Carsosaurus was large for and aigialosaurid, but the claim to fame for this reptile was the 2001 discovery of four juveniles inside the body of an adult. The high degree of preservation in the juveniles as well as their location strongly suggests that these juveniles were actually offspring waiting to be born, and not a case of cannibalism on the part of the adult. This has implications for other closely related reptiles, some of which went on to become the mosasaurs, large marine reptiles such as Globidens, Platecarpus and Tylosaurus that would become key animals in late Cretaceous oceans. Although reptiles are usually described as being egg laying animals, live birth is well documented in some living species today, and is very likely to have occurred in the past given the wide expanse of reptiles living in ancient times. - [Purussaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/purussaurus/): At between eleven and thirteen meters long it goes without saying that Purussaurus was an apex predator capable of attacking large prey. As a caiman crocodile, Purussaurus had an extremely stout and robust skull that housed large conical teeth suited for gripping and holding onto powerful prey. - [Cronopio](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/cronopio/): This small mammal is most important for being the earliest known dryolestoid mammal from South America. However it is more famous for its unusual arrangement of teeth. Cronopio had very slender jaws and in the centre of the top jaw there were two enlarged canine teeth, something which has given rise to the nickname of ‘sabre-toothed squirrel’. Another resemblance is to that of the cgi character Scrat in the Ice Age films. - [Rhinconichthys](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/rhinconichthys/): Rhinconichthys was first named in 2010, from fossils that had been discovered in England. Then in 2016 a description of two new species, R. uyenoi from Japan and R. purgatoirensis from the USA were described, revealing to us that this fish genus potentially had a global distribution. Rhinconichthys is noted for the large hyomandibulae bones which would have allowed this to have had an incredibly wide gape, in turn allowing Rhinconichthys to filter large amounts of plankton from the sea water. - [Masracetus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/masracetus/): As a member of the Basilosauridae, Masracetus was a relative of the famous Basilosaurus, and comparable in terms of skull size and body width. However, as in other relative genera such as Cynthiacetus, the vertebrae of Masracetus were much shorter than the vertebrae of Basilosaurus, indicating a proportionately shorter body. - [Crichtonsaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/crichtonsaurus/): Crichtonsaurus seems to have been a fairly small genus of ankylosaur that lived in China during the earlier stages of the Late Cretaceous period. As an ankylosaur Crichtonsaurus would have been a squat quadrupedal dinosaur that browsed upon low growing plants. - [Ojoceratops](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/ojoceratops/): Fossils sitting in a museum and sometimes thought to belong to one kind of ceratopsian dinosaur are sometimes found to actually represent another upon later examination. This is how others such as Mojoceratops and Spinops were discovered, and is also how Ojoceratops was discovered. Ojoceratops was classed as Torosaurus, but is thought to have resembled a Triceratops with a squared off frill. - [Gavialimimus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/gavialimimus/): Gavialimimus is a genus of mosasaur that lived in waters around North Africa during the latest Cretaceous. Gavialimimus is noted for its jaws which are substantially longer and more slender than those of most other mosasaurs. This would clearly be an adaptation for specialised feeding, possibly for either fish or squid. This may have also been a case of a mosasaur adapting to fill an ecological niche left behind by some of the specialised ichthyosaurs that had long been extinct for tens of millions of years before Gavialimimus existed. - [Makhaira](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/makhaira/): Makhaira is a genus of pliosaur that lived in waters that once submerged parts of Russia during the early Cretaceous. Due to lack of fossil material, little is known about the overall details of Makhaira. But these remains seem to have come from a small to medium sized pliosaur. The known teeth of Makhaira seem to suggest that Makhaira was more of a generalist, capable of hunting moderately sized prey of all types, without overly specialising on any one specific type of creature. - [Triopticus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/triopticus/): At the time of the genus description very little is known about Triopticus. Only known from a partially preserved braincase, we don’t know the size of Triopticus, what it ate, or even what kind of creature it was other than just giving it the tentatively cautious title of being an archosauriform. What we do know is this, at the time of discovery and naming, Triopticus is like no other creature known of the Triassic. The holotype specimen of Triopticus, a braincase with part of one of the eye sockets, rises up to form a dome headed structure. This ‘dome’ also has further rounded bony growths referred to as bosses, which in turn seem to have served as basis for soft tissue growths. As unusual a feature as the bony aspects of the head, the living example might have been quite something else. - [Sarmientosaurus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/sarmientosaurus/): Named from a skull and seven neck vertebrae, Sarmientosaurus is a genus of titanosaur that lived in South America during the early stages of the Late Cretaceous. Sarmientosaurus is noted for having eyes sockets that were proportionately larger than in other titanosaurs. Studies of the inner ear area also show that held was likely held downwards at the end of the neck, suggesting that Sarmientosaurus specialised more in feeding upon lower growing vegetation. - [Walgettosuchus](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/walgettosuchus/): Although the genus name means crocodile, Walgettosuchus was actually a theropod dinosaur, although the single opalised vertebrae that it is known from has been criticised as not being diagnostic enough to establish a specific genus. As such Walgettosuchus is generally regarded as being what is called a nomen dubium, a genus that cannot be definitively confirmed to exist. Many other Australian dinosaur genera have been named from single bones including Ozraptor, Rapator and Kakuru, the latter two also having opalised fossils. - [Uteodon](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/uteodon/): Originally named as a species of Camptosaurus, Uteodon was a fairly primitive iguanodont dinosaur that lived in what is now Utah during the late Jurassic. As an iguanodont, Uteodon would have been a primarily quadrupedal plant eater, though it may have still reared up on its hind legs to reach higher vegetation. Possible predators of Uteodon could include large theropod dinosaurs such as Allosaurus. - [Kelumapusaura](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/kelumapusaura/): Kelumapusaura is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived in South America during the late Cretaceous. The establishment of Kelumapusaura was born out of the discovery of a bone bed of at least several individuals. ## Species Classifications - [](https://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species-classification/156/) -
