Cryolophosaurus (pronounced /ˌkraɪ.ɵˌlɒfɵˈsɔrəs/ or /kraɪˌɒlɵfəˈsɔrəs/, meaning “cold crest lizard”) was a large theropod dinosaur, with a bizarre crest on its head that looked like a Spanish comb. Due to the resemblance of this feature to Elvis Presley’s pompadour haircut from the 1950s, this dinosaur was at one point informally known as “Elvisaurus”
