Bradley's Before Horn Lizard
  Proceratosaurus bradleyi
(von Huene, 1926)

    In the Middle Jurassic, Proceratosaurus bradleyi is a predator of streams. While the teeth of P. bradleyi are conical and unserrated like its reletive Ornitholestes, they have been adapted to catch and hold slippery fish instead of large, strugling prey.

    In P. bradleyi, the nasal horn of Ornitholestes stretches back across the skull to form a narrow crest, used as a display.
