#1 Blikanasaurus
Blikanasaurus is voted the first most elegant dinosaurs with 135 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 Montanoceratops
Montanoceratops is voted the second most elegant dinosaurs with 126 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.
#3 Sinosaurus
Sinosaurus is voted the third most elegant dinosaurs with 125 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.
#4 Abydosaurus
Abydosaurus is voted the fourth most elegant dinosaurs with 121 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.
#5 Iguanodon
Iguanodon is voted the fifth most elegant dinosaurs with 121 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 Argentinosaurus
Argentinosaurus is voted the sixth most elegant dinosaurs with 120 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.
#7 Becklespinax
Becklespinax is voted the seventh most elegant dinosaurs with 119 votes.
Becklespinax
Altispinax (/ˌæltɪˈspaɪnæks/; "with high spines") is a genus of large predatory theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Valanginian, 140 to 133 million years ago) Wadhurst Clay Formation of East Sussex, England. Probably during the early 1850s, fossil collector Samuel Husbands Beckles discovered some nodules with dinosaur bones in a quarry near Battle, East Sussex. These he sent to palaeontologist Richard Owen, who reported them in 1856.
