CORONOSAURUS “Crown lizard” Late Cretaceous, 77 million years ago

This ceratopsid was originally thought to be a species of Centrosaurus. But despite the requisite centrosaurine nose horn, plus additional barbs on its frill (“epiparietals”), Coronosaurus would still have had no trouble wearing a g*****n mask.

AUROCHS (Bos primigenius) “First-born ox/cow” Early Pleistocene-Late Holocene, 1.8 million-392 years ago

This large, (partially) prehistoric ancestor of modern cattle went extinct very recently in geological time - the year 1627. It has been featured in everything from early human cave paintings to the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin (alongside their Pleistocene contemporaries, direwolves). They are not, however, featured in the television adaptation, Game of Thrones, which tends to be book readers’ one and only criticism of the show.

SINOCERATOPS “Chinese horned-face” Late Cretaceous, 72-66 million years ago

This large centrosaurine dinosaur had one large nasal horn, with myriad small, curved hornlets lining its frill. It is notable for being the only true ceratopsid in all of Asia (despite ceratopsians as a whole likely originating there). Such conjecture gave rise to the presiding “Styracosaurus in witness protection” theory.

TITANOSAURUS “Titanic lizard” Late Cretaceous, 70 million years ago

Titanosaurus is a genus of extremely large sauropod dinosaur, once applied to a wide variety of species, but now only encompassing two (T. indicus and T. blandfordi). It gives its name, however, to the group Titanosauria, which includes the largest dinosaur ever found, Patagotitan, along with Argentinosaurus, Isisaurus, Rapetosaurus, and many others.

Oh, uh, a punchline... right. Um. It sounds like... “tight... anus... sore?”

Yeah, I'm not proud of that one, either.

RUTIODON “Wrinkle tooth” Late Triassic 225-215 million years ago

Easily mistaken for a crocodile, Rutiodon was actually a phytosaur – a crocodile-like reptile from the Triassic. Phytosaurs had long, splay-legged bodies with tough, bony scales like crocs, but their nostrils were located in front of (or above!) their eyes, instead of on the tips of their snouts. And speaking of snouts – Rutiodon's snout was very, very narrow, to best reflect its outlook on the world and social issues.

Phytosaurs like Rutiodon looked remarkably similar to modern gharials, which are real animals you probably didn't know existed. Sadly, “Fightosaurs” do not exist.
