Top 7 Most Elegant Dinosaurs

#1 Blikanasaurus

Blikanasaurus is voted the first most elegant dinosaurs with 132 votes.

Blikanasaurus

Blikanasaurus (meaning "Blikana lizard") is a genus of sauropodomorph dinosaur from the late Triassic of what is now South Africa. Known from a left lower limb only, its remains were found in Lower Elliot Formation rocks near the Blikana location in what is now the Eastern Cape Province. The type specimen is housed in the South African Museum in Cape Town.

#2 Sinosaurus

Sinosaurus is voted the second most elegant dinosaurs with 123 votes.

Sinosaurus

Sinosaurus (meaning "Chinese lizard") was a tetanuran theropod dinosaur which lived during the Early Jurassic Period. It was a bipedal carnivore approximately 5.6 metres (18 feet) in length. Fossils of the animal were found at the Lufeng Formation, in the Yunnan Province of China.

#3 Montanoceratops

Montanoceratops is voted the third most elegant dinosaurs with 122 votes.

Montanoceratops

Montanoceratops /mɒnˌtænoʊˈsɛrətɒps/ is an extinct genus of small ceratopsian dinosaur that lived approximately 70 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous Period in what is now Montana and Alberta. Montanoceratops was a small sized, moderately-built, ground-dwelling, quadrupedal herbivore, that could grow up to an estimated 3 m (9.8 ft) long. Montanoceratops was a typical primitive ceratopsian in many respects, distinguished from the later species by the presence of claws, rather than hooves, and by having teeth in its upper jaw, rather than a toothless beak.

#4 Argentinosaurus

Argentinosaurus is voted the fourth most elegant dinosaurs with 118 votes.

Argentinosaurus

Argentinosaurus (meaning "Argentine lizard") is a genus of titanosaur sauropod dinosaur first discovered by Guillermo Heredia in Argentina. The generic name refers to the country in which it was discovered. The dinosaur lived on the then-island continent of South America somewhere between 97 and 93.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.

#5 Iguanodon

Iguanodon is voted the fifth most elegant dinosaurs with 117 votes.

Iguanodon

†I. bernissartensis Boulenger, 1881 †I. galvensis Verdú et al., 2015Iguanodon (/ɪˈɡwɑːnədɒn/ i-GWAH-nə-don; meaning "iguana-tooth") is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that existed roughly halfway between the first of the swift bipedal hypsilophodontids of the mid-Jurassic and the duck-billed dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous.

#6 Abydosaurus

Abydosaurus is voted the sixth most elegant dinosaurs with 116 votes.

Abydosaurus

Abydosaurus (meaning "Abydos lizard") is a genus of brachiosaurid sauropod dinosaur known from skull and postcranial material found in upper Lower Cretaceous rocks of northeastern Utah, United States. Abydosaurus is one of the few sauropods known from skull material, with the first described complete skull for a Cretaceous sauropod from the Americas. It is also notable for its narrow teeth, as earlier brachiosaurids had broader teeth.Abydosaurus is based on DINO 16488, a nearly complete skull and lower jaws with the first four neck vertebrae.

#7 Arcovenator

Arcovenator is voted the seventh most elegant dinosaurs with 116 votes.

Arcovenator

Arcovenator ("Arc hunter") is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur hailing from the Late Cretaceous of France. The type and only described species is Arcovenator escotae.Though shallower, the nearly complete braincase of Arcovenator is otherwise similar in size to those of Majungasaurus and Carnotaurus; it was thus initially estimated as being about 5–6 metres (16–20 ft) long, but it was estimated more recently in 2016 as being 4.8 metres (16 ft) in length. The skull roof exhibits as a unique diagnostic character a midline foramen, possibly housing the pineal gland, situated on the posterior surface of a slight dome formed by frontal bones as moderately thick as in Aucasaurus, thus less so than for Rajasaurus, though more than those of Rugops.
