In dinosaurs, the anatomy of the braincase is conservative, but for this reason can be used to infer relationships of a group when other skeletal features underwent changes so profound that their origins can no longer be traced. The braincase may also allow for reconstructing the brain and inner ear, with inferences on senses and intelligence. [20]
This category is for pages relating to dinosaur anatomy, such as physical features or parts. For anatomic features which are not possessed solely by dinosaurian groups, (such as the Triceratops neck frill which is also employed by the Frill-necked Lizard ), they may be included if it is fairly evident or common in dinosaur anatomy overall.

Tyrannosaurus (/ t ɪ ˌ r æ n ə ˈ s ɔː r ə s, t aɪ-/) [a] is a genus of large theropod dinosaur.The type species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning 'king' in Latin), often shortened to T. rex or colloquially T-Rex, is one of the best represented theropods.
Mamenchisaurus (/ m ə ˌ m ʌ n tʃ i ˈ s ɔː r ə s / mə-MUN-chee-SOR-əs, Dinosauria Translation and Pronunciation Guide M or spelling pronunciation / m ə ˌ m ɛ n tʃ ɪ ˈ s ɔː r ə s /) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur known for their remarkably long necks [2] which made up nearly half the total body length.

This specimen consists of mostly complete and somewhat articulated skeleton. Other outcrops yielded several other specimens referrable to Fona based on similarities in the skeletal anatomy. FMNH PR 4581 was found in the 'Manolo site', which is slightly younger than the holotype locality. It is also a mostly complete skeleton, missing most of ...
Its anatomy indicated that it was an active predator that was likely warm-blooded, in marked contrast to the then-prevailing image of dinosaurs. [59] Concurrently, Robert T. Bakker published a series of studies that likewise argued for active lifestyles in dinosaurs based on anatomical and ecological evidence (see § Physiology ), [ 62 ] [ 63 ...
Allosaurus (/ ˌ æ l ə ˈ s ɔːr ə s /) [1] [2] is an extinct genus of large carnosaurian theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period (Kimmeridgian to late Tithonian ages). The name "Allosaurus" means "different lizard", alluding to its unique (at the time of its discovery) concave vertebrae.
