Australian fossils - Elvisaurus (Cryolophosaurus)

This is part of a travelling fossil-life of Australia exhibit which I managed to catch at the Geelong Wool Mill Museum (of all places). I joined one of Jim and Julies Field Trips and we went and saw these fossils before journeying across the bay to search for fossils in the Inverloch area.
