saddinosaurfacts: MUTTABURRASAURUS“Muttaburra lizard”Early Cretaceous, 112-99.6 million years ago While many other ornithopods had decorative crests on their heads (such as Corythosaurus or Parasaurolophus), Muttaburrasaurus had its distinctive crest on its snout, called a bulla nasalis (“nasal bubble” in Latin and “disgusting” in English). Its name derives from the town of Muttaburra in Queensland, Australia, and is fun to use as lyrics to the Super Mario Bros. underground theme. -- source link
