This list of nicknamed dinosaur fossils is a list of fossil non-avian dinosaur specimens given informal names or nicknames, in addition to their institutional catalogue numbers. It excludes informal appellations that are purely descriptive (e.g., "the Fighting Dinosaurs", "the Trachodon Mummy").
Named after the batman villain; Harvey Dent (also known as Two-face) due to the presence of pathology on one side of its face, causing an asymmetrical appearance[8]
Largest known Triceratops skeleton; 60% complete with a skull that is 75% complete.[18][19] Sold for €6.6 million (US$7.7 million) on 2021-10-21[19][20]
This specimen was the first occurrence of a hadrosaur in south-central Alaska, 1 out of only 4 vertebrate fossils from the entire Wrangellia Composite Terrane, and the first associated skeleton of an individual dinosaur in Alaska.[74]
Found in 2005, excavated & named in 2009. Preserves both forelimbs, right hind limb, shoulders, pelvis, several back vertebrae and ribs. Approximately 30% of the skeleton has been recovered. Named after Waltzing Matilda.
