Dilophosaurus Standing Near a Prehistoric Cascade

A Dilophosaurus stands positioned beside a rushing waterfall that empties into a freshwater basin. Two parallel bone crests top the dinosaur's head while rocky terrain forms the surrounding backdrop.

Unique Attributes of the Crested Dinosaur

Dilophosaurus lived during the Early Jurassic period and was one of the earliest large predatory dinosaurs. The twin crests on its head were thin and delicate, formed by thin extensions of the skull bones, which meant they were meant for visual displays rather than combat. Real fossil evidence shows Dilophosaurus was quite large, reaching up to twenty feet in length, and had no neck frill or venom.

Authentic Colors of Jurassic Waters and Reptiles

  • Dilophosaurus skin: sandy buff or slate gray with dark stripe patterns
  • Head crests: burnt orange, coral, or bright yellow accent shades
  • Waterfall spray: pale cyan and white water foam
  • Surrounding rocks: wet slate gray and mossy dark green
