Cryolophosaurus

phylum	Chordata	Cryolophosaurus was a large theropod dinosaur, with a 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". It is the first carnivorous dinosaur to be discovered in Antarctica and the first non-avian dinosaur from the continent to be officially named. Dated at 190 million years ago, it was originally described as the earliest known tetanuran, though subsequent studies have found that it is probably a dilophosaurid.
