So, everyone knows Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, etc. Don't get me wrong, they all have cool names. But which of the poorly known dinosaurs had the coolest names? Let's find out. 10. Brontomerus- Thunder Thigh Ok, so I chose this one more because I thought it was kind of funny. But funny can be cool. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Brontomerus.jpg/250px-Brontomerus.jpg[/img] 9. Tarascosaurus- Spanish Dragon Ok, don't tell me that a name that means Spanish Dragon isn't cool. [img]http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/3Rz8qPYu9PQ/hqdefault.jpg[/img] 8. Titanoceratops- Titan Horned Head Just about any name with titan in it will sound cool. [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Titanoceratops-1.jpg[/img] 7. Dracorex- Dragon King When your name means the dragon king, you certainly deserve a spot on this list. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Dracorex_BW.jpg[/img] 6. Stygimoloch- Demon from the River of Hell Wow, pachycephalosaurs have cool names! [img]http://www.wikidino.com/wp-content/uploads/Stygimoloch-M.Shiraishi.jpg[/img] 5. Tyrannotitan- Tyrant Titan Tyrannotitan certainly lives up to it's name. At 40 ft long and 5+ tons, it was both a tyrant and a titan. [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130218072357/dinosaurs/images/8/89/Tyrannotitan_by_L34ndr0.jpg[/img] 4. Ekrixinatosaurus- Explosion Born Lizard Sure, it's hard to pronounce, but it has a cool translation. [img]http://dinosaurs.afly.ru/ii/t/ekrixinatosaurus-1.jpg[/img] 3. Teratophoneus- Monstrous Murderer Ok, so it's "only" 20 ft long, but I still don't want to run into this monstrous murderer. [img]http://www.paleospot.com/illustrations/teratophoneus.jpg[/img] 2. Sauroposeidon- Earthquake God Lizard The earthquake god lizard! Now that's awesome. [img]http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DSC_hiatus.jpg[/img] 1. Lythronax- The Gore King of the South It's full name, Lythronax argestes, has got to be one of the coolest dinosaur names that anyone has ever come up with.

I was sure. No, I was SURE Lythronax would be first. Nice list, by the way, all of them are really cool names.

Yeah, there were a lot of names to choose from. Here's another I feel is worth mentioning... Pyroraptor- Fire Thief Come on? Is that cool or what? [img]http://spotlight.iridas.com/200407/pwc_01_big.jpg[/img]

Cool indeed. I'd mention Balaur too. It has no meaning in Greek or Latin, but in romanian it means terrifying dragon. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/Balaur_bondoc.jpg[/img]

These are really cool names. Hmm, I just think that a name like Omegatyrannus is frikin awesome and it belongs to a 100 foot Tyrannosaur with huge 40 foot arms and shoots lasers out of its eyes. Oh, and flyes while spitting out nuclear explosions and crushing chuck Noris underfoot.

No, but that's the dinosaur the name deserves.

I'd love to see the face of the palentologist that would find that: O_O

Diabloceratops+Stygimoloch= (quite literally) Hell

Keep in mind that many people have died for their beliefs; it's actually quite common. The real courage is in living and suffering for what you believe in. -Brom-
